Escape From Dol Guldur

By conykchameleon, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

So excited, just had to post. I finally beat Escape From Dol Guldur with: Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli. Ending threat: 49. It was so close and such an exciting finish. All of this with the admission that of course I had a couple lucky breaks, but I think you have to win this scenario. Got Steward of Gondor and Celebrian's Stone out early for an awesome amount of Will and Resources. Got allies at crucial times (I had Ungoliant's Spawn and the Nazul engaged at the same time, but had 3 alies to throw into defending). And of course, a timely appearance or two by Gandalf.

What other deck combinations have other people beaten Escape with?

I wouldn't want to try the scenario with this combination of heroes, this cannot have been easy!

I was trying to beat it with Denethor-Glorifindel-Glóin at least twenty times, but always unsuccessfully. Once I won it somehow using Éowyn-Aragorn-Théodred, but then I couldn't repeat it. Especially Éowyn appears to be crucial.

I've also made a couple of tries using Aragorn/Eowyn/Denethor but didn't get very far yet. Actually, most games are over after a mere five minutes.

This scenario is really ridiculously difficult in solo mode.
