This deck is designed to make great use of the Gandalf ally from the Hobbit saga box. Use the Doomed cards to get set up quickly, then reset your threat with Aragorn and get Gandalf into play with a couple choice Ents and Outlands allies to start wiping the board.

Just ran some quick games against Passage Through Mirkwood with the earlier renditions of this deck, but I'm going to start recording some games with this deck against some more challenging quests, hopefully soon.

Narya and the healer, super idea!

This deck has a few games under its belt now. 1-1 vs Journey Along the Anduin, 1-0 vs Seventh Level, 1-0 vs Druadan Forest. The only loss happened before Gandalf could come out and a nasty shadow card got Aragorn killed, and I already had my threat in the upper 40's so without Aragorn's ability (that I was probably going to use next round) I would threat out quickly or never be able to use Gandalf, which greatly gimps the deck.

I wish I had more time to play this game so I could really put this deck through its paces against more quests. I'm thinking about trying some of the early nightmare quests and a couple more of the later quests, but then I gotta move on to some other decks.
