Gondorian Swarm

I've always found Gondorian swarm decks lacking due to the card draw weakness in mono-Leadership builds. Erestor fixes that. The problem with Erestor is paying for things before they disappear. Captain's Wisdom fixes that.

With so much resource generation available in the card pool I was curious how quickly a player can pay for the biggest ally in game: Grimbeorn the Old who needs 8 Leadership resources. If he were drawn in the first round, it is possible to pay for him right away with this deck. What surprised me more was beating the Nighmare version of Carrock without much effort.

I'm looking forward to trying this out on some other quests. If you take it for a spin, let me know!
