It’s a Christmas deck for 2019, featuring the Burglar’s Turn contract! https://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/13748/santatryouts-1.0

Bifur is the anti-Santa, since he takes resources. Theodred and LeDenethor have the true Christmas spirit, though they lack impressive beards.

Did you consider Dunedain Pathfinder to fish locations out of the deck?

That's a great idea. I play-tested it in solo only, which falls flat because you don't get enough locations. This would help with that (although the deck doesn't do well in solo due to poor combat capability anyway).

I plan on playing this in 3- and 4-player games, where finding locations really won't be an issue. The Pathfinder might be a good addition for a 2-player setup though.

Even if you have enough locations though, he's still a free ally, and he brings out a type of card that you have a plan to deal with. So, good addition either way.
