Explanations are on the Ringsdb but i'm gonna talk a bit about it anyway ^^

Starting threat is low, wich is always nice to ease the first turns. And basically mirlonde is there just for that. So i could play Pippin 2 of course, but the 2HP on hobbits is sometimes a problem, and this way, i can side some Lembas if needed in multiplayer.

Basically Steward goes on Damrod, then once he got it, and most of the time Denethor's ressources goes on the Ranger too.

This way you can generate 5 ressource per turn wich allow you to play some really nice cards like Ents, Double Ents, and Risk some light, put some trap, bring those nets back with anborn and drop them again.

Traps are really excellent since Damrod pop out. I like him so much ! This bring some really nice control and help denethor to block some big ennemies while they got that -2 -2 net on them !

The Draw in this deck is really good. From traps to heed, counsels, runes and gandalf, you will never be short. Wich is always welcome !

About the fighting, well let's say it, you're not that strong, as your heroes are mainly questing. But once ennemies are trapped, weakened and your board start having some ents, your power is quite ok to manage some ennemies.

Ghân buri ghan is excellent, he can quest so godly on some quest and his capacity of sacrifice to travel without the traveling effect is huge and helped me many times. Last game on The 2nd Flame of the west quest, he quest alone for 15 willpower wich is huge !

1 ithilien tracker and 2 secret path, they're sooo helpful ! Those are my... "candies" cards ! but i'm so glad having them in hand and on the board ! In multiplayer they're even better !


About multiplayer. That's where the deck start to be really even more funny. There's a link in the RingsDB description that show a multiplayer version that i mainly use.

Major change is that we add 3 Gildor Consel ! Wich are always crazy good ! Then some Scroll of Imladris to play them again !

In fact the basic idea of the deck was that. Then those nets (traps) arrived and the deck start to be a really funny and usefull ally to have in multiplayer games !

We also add some Ambush, and 1 more anborn, so we can quickly start playing traps recursively.

That + Traps, bring us a board control that is really nice.

Behind those big ents are questing so you also help the table for willpower !

Last thing, but not least. the Warden of healing ! With that steward of gondor, you can really heal a lot of damage ! wich is crazy good on some multiplayer game !



And i think that is it ^^

I hope you'll enjoy this little deck as i do !

And if yes, don't hesitate to gave him so likes on RingsDB ! :wub:

Cheers from belgium.
