So I was sitting here, and I had an idea! I saw Theoden, Ednew, and his resistance ability, and imagined an Ednew+Gandalf deck. Throw in some Hobbits and a Shadowplay here and there, and you're good to go. And with all the talk of SftF, I thought maybe I could try it out as well. One problem, it's too big right now and at this hour, I'm not really thinking so I don't know what to cut. But here's the idea! Companions/Followers: * Frodo, RH; The One Ring, RoR* Gandalf, LoM*Aldred, Eored Soldier *Merry, SwordthainTheoden, EdnewEomer, HorsemasterRohirrim Guard x2 Gandalf, Powerful Guide (I have LotC, since I don't have PG) Radagast, the BrownDaddy Twofoot, Nextdoor NeighborPossessions/Artifacts: Riddermark Javelin/Rohirrim Bow x3 (not sure what's the best option yet) Snowmane, Noble MearasFirefootBregoHerugrim, SotMShadowfax, GotM (I use Unequaled Steed for resistance) Glamdring, FHGandalf's StaffConditions: Sent BackHearken to MeBrooding on Tomorrow A Light in his Mind Home and HearthG for Grand x3 Shadowplay x3 Events: Unheeded x3 Saved From the Fire x4 (38) A little big, but with SftF, it works nicely. Use SftF to burn Gandalf, and get PG, Sent Back, and another SftF. Next, burn Aldred and get Ednew and 2 other Rohan cards, depending on what you drew. If you drew a SftF as well, burn a Rohirrim Guard when you can to further set up. Shadowplay exerts, Rohirrim Javelins kill in archery, and G for Grand'ed companions finish minions off in skirmish. Use Merry to bring back your javelins and auto-heal. Use Brooding on Tomorrow and A Light in His Mind w/ the Guard+Merry for a double effect. Go 2nd if you want your plains sites out, or just run Nelya, Third of the Nine Riders. Radagast is thrown in for a 6-9 run; once your setup is ready, you'll tank/wound right through the sites. *I need to refine it majorly! Now that I think about it, should I even keep SftF? Or just start Ednew and Merry and run 3-4 copies of Gandalf. All criticism is welcome  |

i've done two like this, one's in Casual and the others somewhere in Expanded. It seems like you should cut some conditions and possessions, they don't all seem necessary. Also, you definitely need 4x Shadowplay, and 4x Rohirrim Bow instead of the Javelins. I would cut 2-3 SftF, and run 4x Gandalf. If you have space, look for some useful spells to capitalize off of PG's effect, or add Prolonged Struggle. However, that may be straying a bit from your original idea. See what all you can do with it. |

Rohirrim Guard is great, since it allows to activate Brooding on Tomorrow and A Light in his mind, then return Merry to hand, and if you want, use Brooding on Tomorrow again. As for the other stuff, I'm still working on it.

The only cards you want in the deck are Gandalf and Theoden, Ednew? Do you have a special Ringbearer in mind, or a special culture, or a special idea for this deck? For example Shadowplay / Unheeded, Long live the Halflings / G for Grand etc.. I will post some ideas then, regards |

I'm not too sure at the moment; I just thought of it last night. I think Shadowplay/Unheeded would be very effective, but G for Grand goes well with Ednew's resistance boost while spotting Gandalf. |

Well, we need a ringbearer and the starting fellowship, in this case, first. We have: Galadriel, Bow Theoden, Ednew Eomer, Forthwith Banished ( Gandalf Returned, Shadowfax, GotM, condition discard, Healing, archery wounding....) Gandalf, BoO Theoden, Ednew Merry, Swordhain  Frodo, Little Master Eowyn, Northwoman, Eomer, Horsemaster (2x Gandalf, Erkenbrands Shield!, Theoden, Last days of my house...) and so much more! What do you think? |
