Hi everyone, Im new to The Last Homely House, so decided to introduce my self posting a deck that begun as a alternative to: on the fellowship side "

Aragorn, Ranger of the North, Is there to actually not go first since you`ll be relying on the troll to stop opponent from massive double moving. Choke as much as you can with ·
Gandalf, The Grey Wizard and if Gorn doesent show up grab him from the site.
Gandalf's Wisdom should give you the token deny and strength advantage of weapons(only ·
Gandalf's Staff and .
Glamdring will be adding to the pool but only if one or none wisdom are drawn). With little pool given you might be able to double move 1-3, but only if the oponent did and you feel confident about it.... Doubling latter depends on ....match up?
·
Sam, Proper Poet is there for the nice combo on his text and
Might of Numenor, always try playing him with no twilight cost(only if Gandalf can afford the exertion). The problem is he`s the 5
th companion but he burns quikly so be wise deciding playing him or not,
sting and
Glamdring can have a peek here
Armor there for Uruk and sauron wound prevention, and maybe a safer walk through the bridge.
Gondor's Vengeance works nice against Isengard Orcs, but its main role its helping in the decision to double move.
The rest its pretty much Gandalf`s known tricks:
Servant of the Secret Fire,
Sleep, Caradhras and their recursion with Barliman. Always have in mind that
Sleep, Caradhras srews your Wisdom and No Stranger, so Caradhras timing is important specialy against Moria Or Sauron.
Shadow: Play the troll, thats it. Well it has its tricks like vitality minions packing
Moria Axe, lets say
Troll's Keyward or
Goblin Patrol Troop.
A single
Dark Places (DP) gives the Balrog 18 str, and 16 str for the troll, dont forget that the keyward is also unique so if he gets the second DP and a
Moria Axe, also potentially hits 16 Dmg+1(this happens more often that initialy thought). Don`t for get the nice cost reduction DP can give to Troll supposing you had to move first to site 4.
The hardest part is token counting since Relics and
armory combo needs a good timing. Any way at underground trolls cost 7, virtually 6 with Runner, speaking of which, he is the main bearer of
Goblin Scimitar that helps with token and cards for
They Are Coming. Keep in mind that Keyward`s cost is pretty much deduced from troll`s so if you get a weapon and
armory things get cheap soon...
Well hope you like it, i posted it just as it is,
Goblin Flankers maybe do better job than
Goblin Patrol Troop(Credits on Tempest here
), but
Shield of Boromir is there just because of meta, maybe extra healing or
PATHS instead?
Oh before i forget, can`t seem to find a better site 3 for this one...
