Title: Wizard Power!!
Post by: LoveMeAndDespair on September 21, 2009, 04:59:59 PM
 [Gandalf] Presenting my real life Wizard Power deck!!  [Gandalf]

I decided to make a deck using the two Wizards, Gandalf and Radagast. Gandalf's staff makes spells -1 twilight, so I included lots of great spells. I'm a bit new to the game, but I think my deck is pretty cool. Tell me what you think!

 [Shire] Frodo, resolute hobbit
 [Ring] The one ring, the Great Ring

 [Gandalf] Companions:
Gandalf, the grey pilgrim (starting)
(three extra copies of Gandalf in the deck for healing)
Radagast, the brown x3 (foil :) )
Radagast, tender of beasts (used for healing only, because I don't own 4 copies of The Brown)
Quickbeam, hastiest of all ents (I just kindof threw him in the mix, since I have a cool looking foil promo 15O3)

 [Gandalf] Possessions and Artifacts:
Narya x2 (foil:) )
Radagast's Staff x2
Gandalf's Staff x4
Galamdring, foe-hammer x2 (foil :) )
Radagast's herb bag x2
Shadowfax, unequaled steed x2 (not sure if this card is so great...I might take it out...??)

 [Gandalf] Spells:
Salve x4
Intimidate x4
You cannot pass! x2
Servant of the Secret Fire
Introspection

 [Gandalf] Other events and conditions:
Have patience x2
All save one (foil :) )
A wizard is never late x2
Watch and wait x2
Brooding on tomorrow (foil :) )

I like your signet idea with RotN. I will do that!

I am unsure of what pipes/weed to include, given that I don't want my deck to grow too much bigger.
Maybe:
Aragorn's Pipe
Longbottom Leaf
Old Toby

Is there a good Gandalf with a Gandalf signet?

I think I would be too scared to give my enemies any more twilight! They have some overpowered decks. They definitely won't leave three of four twilight still sitting in the pot.

Should I switch to The White Wizard, and won't get the +3 strength but will have one more signet for Trust Me As You Once Did, or should I stick with The Grey Pilgrim and have my extra card per turn?

And no, I don't have Sent Back in there...maybe it would be good...hmm... I do have a nice foil copy!

Should I take Shadowfax out?

with a lot of servant of the secret fire another option might be aragorn, guide and protector since he can use that one (and double as a roadblock)

That is also true for All Save One.

I just had an awesome idea! Ket suggested I add pipes and pipeweeds for healing (and so I added Aragorn's Pipe, Longbottom Leaf, and Old Toby to my deck) and then I thought of adding Ship of Smoke!! It will help me draw more cards, which is essential for this spell-rich deck.

Yes, I agree with you guys about the Aragorn. As soon as you suggested it, I quickly switched out the copy in my deck!! It's obviously a superior choice, and I decided not to go with the signet stuff because my deck was growing out of proportion!
