So the fellowship a  twilight denial using mostly Aragorn and Isildur, along with some possessions, conditions, and a lot of artifacts. On the shadow side it’s a  possesion deck.
--- end description ---

Conditions:

Strategy:
Fellowship: Basic twilight denial with Aragorn and Isildur. Use Ring of Rings and Scroll of Isildur to boost Isildur’s resistance, and use house of healing + Ring of Barahir for healing. Have Boromir in their in case things get hot, or something happens to Aragorn.
Shadow: Use Countless Companies to keep my possessions out, and use those to boost my minions. Then having Last Days and Hemmed In just for if they come to use. Aside from that, do what I can to win skirmishes.
Ok, I know it seems really weak but for some reason it works. On the fellowship I can understand it since my starting fellowship is a 7 and 9. Pretty easy to beat big minions (if they manage to get one out). On the shadow side, I don’t think it should work, but some how it does. I basically just play it by ear. |

I used to start with just Aragorn and Isildur, believe me you will start piling burdens on. Now I know, if I was playing against this deck I would let you go first and then play my sites to start messing you up. You will never get the Scroll in time.
War Must Be seems like an odd event to have in this deck with no assiging fortifications, if you can keep threats away use Swordarm of the White Tower for Aragorn and if you can somehow stop the burdens then Pledge of Loyalty or Rally the Company.
Add 2 more Boromirs and 2 more Scrolls. You can kick the Garrison of Osgiliath its pretty much useless except for spotting with the Ring of Barahir. |

I would say to ditch the heirs of gondor, hidden knowledge, and guarded city and replace with more events such as pledge of loyalty. I personally dont like the events which require hand weapons either (ie. dagger strike.)
But its up to you. |

| How does this deny twilight? IMO you are going to need 3 companions almsot always ot make sure you don’t have to automatically add 2 burdens. Cut the garrison of osgiliath replace with 0 twilight pumps, and maybe an athelas or 2 |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Like I said, it shouldn’t work, but it does. Generaly using the old site path I’m giving them mabey 13 twilight on site 9. Garrsion of Osgiliath is there basicaly so I don’t have to clog my hand with event. Heirs of Gondor and dagger strike are nice because I almost always manager to get some sort of weapon for Aragron, who is basicaly my key companion. Hidden knoweldge and guarded city I need to keep those token conditions around. Don’t ask me how, but somehow I never really need Boromir. Sometimes I do, but most of the time I don’t. Mabey it’s just my media, but I can almost always make it with just Aragorn and Isildur. House of Healing is there basicaly just in case I don’t get Ring of Barahir, or if I need some extra healing, or if nothing else it can be used for the spotting requirements needed for Ring of Barahir so I can feel free to use all my other token based conditions.
Thanks for the reviews every one. |
