Idea: Armor Piercing

By JanB, in Strategy and deck-building

@Seastan: Nice Deck, but Goblin Cleaver does need a Weapon attached to a hero, so in your deck you never get this to work.

You can use it with a Ranger Bow on Anborn or a Spear on Thalin.

Mpf .. doesn't thought about that. A Ranger Bow on Anborn makes sense. .. a Spear on Thalin might be a little too expensive.

I modified your deck a little bit to be more flexible with cards less with ressources. ( http://seastan.github.io/#/deck/id:7meV5amdxI )

Added some Fresh Tracks ( to do additional damage besides Anborn and Thalin ) and Infighting to redirect some damage to enemies with higher hitpoints. Additional the Galaadhon Archer do nice support if i have no spear or spearman in my hand.

As an opportunity you can switch Sam for Theodred to gain more resources for a cost of 2 WIL .. i think this decision depends on the partnerdecks :)

All really great suggestions JanB. I particularly like Fresh Tracks to use up some leadership resources because it's such an underused card.

I think a Steward on Thalin would be another good change, but with this deck I had in mind 3 or 4 player games where there is a good chance that someone else is using Steward.

The main problem with bringing Theodred is how often he is exhausted from Peace and Thought.

Maybe swap Galdor in instead of Pippin to help get the combo up and running early on?

Or Elrond with Vilya.. if Vilya, Sneakattack and Anborn is in your opening Hand you can luckily start the Combo Anborn-Sword-Than on round 1 if you reveal Sword-Than with Vilya :)

Yep .. Steward often is in other decks .. Fresh Tracks and Infighting rocks .. while staging when 2 enemies are added you can spread 2 + 2 .. with Fresh Tracks 2 + 3 and with infighting 0 + 5 .. after that snipe with Ranger Bows and finish with Gondorian Spearman with Spear .. so if you are fully equiped .. a 10-hp-enemy can be killed before he makes a swing.

This obviously wouldn't be the deck to take up against any quest with Uruk-hai or other Toughness enemies :)
