This was possibly already hashed through before, but i haven't seen it. unfortunately the combo only works in open, thanks to the banning of the shire countyside. but, nevertheless, i have been searching for a combo to break for ages, and i think i might have found it. its a steep number of cards to pull together, so i haven't had a chance to knock up a decklist. but i'll lay out the combo.

2 hobbits
2 knights
arwen

arwen's dagger
catapult

a light in his mind
the shire countryside

here's the dealio: using catapult and arwen's dagger you draw/discard to gain/lose initiative, therby removing a burden, and healing arwen. letting you continue to use the combo. and by doing that, you should be able to draw your whole deck, unless i'm missing something.

It's even Manuever, so rule of 4 is useless. Good job, I don't see any problems.

ach, i just found that there's no way to add burdens in the maneuver. so you can only do it as many times as you have burdens.

technically couldn't you use a ring like such a weight to carry and constantly wear the ring?

i took a glance at that. i suppose that falls under the cost effect rule. you can keep paying the cost without the effect. sweet. i'll double check with a post in the archives.

to discard 2 cards, thusly losing initiative, triggering a light in his mind, and removing a burden, triggering the shire countryside, healing arwen, and letting you repeat the cycle.

I think you can not. You can only take on the ring once, unless you've pulled it of. But not certain about it.

But imagine what would could happen if Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor wasn't errated? You then only need to find a way to remove threats in the maneuver. That should be possible... another reason why it's good Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor got an errata.

You can continually add a burden to put on Such a Weight to Carry. After the first time, it is essentially, "Add a burden to do nothing."

ah yes

but why would you want to discard your entire deck, unless you have like 4x the shire countryside and heal all your companions...

how is 4x last throw and 1x radagast a 1st turn site 9 run? i see that getting me to site 8.

however! with mirror of galadriel, dangerous guide i think you could cancievably filter all fellowship cards out of your deck! that is useful.
