Wow, that is a long list. There is a strategy, rest assured. The idea of the deck came in two parts:
1. One of the Brasilians on these boards came up with These are my People. I know I loved the idea and that was it. Recently I got beaten by a nice 9 walker deck that used These are my People beautifully. He had his comps, discarded the whole bunch with Ever my Heart Rises and came up with a fully loaded fellowship, nice. Tried it myself, wasn't too big of a succes.
2. Always wanted to make a solo deck of some kind, stack some extra comps on Shards of Narsil and and a given moment, make a run.
I tried to combine both ideas.
- Try to go first. Bid 1 or 2 to get Ever my Heart Rises out of your deck.
- Start your typical Dwarfs. Gear up Durin, Linnar and Gimli.
- Stack all but one Gondor companion on Shards, since you can take only 4 cards into hand.
- Discard all Gondor possessions.
- At site 6, play all the Gondor companions, play These are my People and make them hard hitters.
- Play Narsil on Elendil and walk to site 9
Sure, this is the idea, but there are a load of cards. 45 on each side. This is where the shadow comes in. A lot of cards are able to discard cards, some are designed to draw.
- Gollum can unclogg your hand, using his own text or the text on They Stole It.
- Bent on Discovery work perfectly well with Enduring Nazzies, which are not too cool to double against.
- Fell Beast makes them fierce, so even better and discards 2 more cards from hand
- Dark Lord's Summons can help out a lot as well, incase you are clogging without other helpers in sight.
Like I said, the deck has it weak sides. I played it once, lost to corruption. That sucks. Also, he played Sauron, which isn't nice, though it is so cool, so I need an armor I guess. Well, all input is most welcome!
-
Again, I have had this before....no one is responding to my deck....Why is that? Just a general wondering. Again, is it too good? :lol:
-
Your deck very creative. I have never seen a deck like this, so I don't feel I can really give any advice without playtesting it or playing against it first.
I'm a little confused by one thing though: Isildur is your ringbearer, yet you say "Start your typical Dwarfs. Gear up Durin, Linnar and Gimli." But you can't start with those dwarves unless Gimli is your ringbearer.
-
Well, indeed, tehy may not seem to be the typical Dwarfs, but I hate to have my conditions gone, so I value Gimli a great deal. So I try to get Durin early.
-
I see. Well, like I said it sounds really cool. My only suggestion would be maybe another copy of sam, since you really depend on getting your site 1 out.
-
What happens if you haven't drawn your only Aragorn copy at site 6? Maybe you should add 1 more?
-
Until now, that hasn't been an issue, but it is not unlikely that it will happen. Somehow though it doesn't seem to work like I intend to. Multiple times I have been able to unleash the deck at site six, but I fail to tripple move due to pressure. So I look to improve it even more.
-
multiple copies of Troll of Cirith Gorgor for the win :up:.
