Hi again,
Here is some feedback on solo Bilbo after a few weeks of tests.
I have a victory rate of 30% with 9 wins and 21 losses.
Of course these stats are not amazing, because the deck still depends a lot on drawing the good cards at the right time... and I'm not a very lucky guy
It has several other weaknesses:
- corruption decks (which is very frequent on Gemp these days)
- it is helpless against archery (can't do anything about it I think)
- it lacks condition removal (
Goblin swarms is a killer as you rarely win skirmishes)
- fierce minions are much harder to deal with (
There and Back again is great in this context, maybe I should add another one)
So I'm trying to find ways to improve it and I need your ideas
First, I have exchanged 2x
Halfling Deftness with 2x
PATHS. It does not help against corruption, but can save you sometimes (is it enough against
Goblin swarms? I was not lucky enough to draw them before getting swarmed...)
Then I remove 2x
Nine-fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom and added
Sam, Son of Hamfast in the starting fellowship and
Melilot Brandybuck, Merry DancerThis helps me to start first by bidding 2 (to win, I need to outrun my opponent, so starting can help). It also allows me to get rid of some burdens (even though Sam dies quickly, the idea is to have him until site 3). The addition of an extra hobbit with Melilot improves chances of having an efficient use of
Chance Observation.
I was also thinking about
Aragorn RotN that can be very useful in the last sites, but if he comes too early, it just clogs the hand... which is already clogged by
Chance Observation I want to use as late as possible
Any suggestion?
