So I'm looking for an excellent deck to beat Journey to the Cross-roads on "easy" mode (yes, that's in quotations because this quest is anything but easy). FFG is simply notorious for giving incorrect difficulty ratings for the LOTR quests, and there's a blog somewhere on here devoted just to bashing them for their irrational difficulty levels. But in any event, I tried Journey to the Cross-roads 3 times with Seastan's "The One Deck"...totally failed. Pretty bad deck to use for this quest. Then I tried this one 3 times, all failed: https://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/9182/chad-s-campaign-journey-to-the-crossroads-1.0 Again, pretty bad, although better than "The One Deck." I got a bit farther than using The One Deck, but the fun lasts until rounds 5 to 7 and then things go straight to s**t.
I read so many horror stories from people how this quest is ridiculously brutal, poorly designed, badly scaled, etc...and I definitely agree with them. When I play this game, if I can't beat a scenario on easy mode in 3 attempts, things start to get very ugly, and I mean ugly . Stuff breaks, people get hit, you name it. And just when I think there's a quest that can't get any harder, it does ! This is one quest that's slowly getting me to want to sell my entire collection (and I have everything for it so far). So...
What deck is the best to beat this quest on easy mode? I really feel like you need to cheat somehow because Caleb Grace cheated the players with improper scaling (and by the way, having only four gold-ringed cards being removed when playing on "easy" mode is improperly scaled in itself...there should definitely be more cards you need to remove)
