Title: Hobbit deck
Post by: gashad on March 15, 2013, 05:20:43 PM

Fellowship(35)
Frodo, OBH
atar

Merry, From O'er the Brandywine
Pippin, Friend to Frodo
Sam, Great Elf Warrior

4 hobbit sword
1 Sting, botel
3 there and back again
4 a Promise
4 Everyone Knows
3 Hobbit party guest
2 Farmer Maggot, Chaser of Rascals
1 The Gaffer, Sam's Father
1 Rosie Cotton, Hobbiton Lass
2 Bilbo, Well-spoken Gentlehobbit
1 Horn of the Mark
2 escape
2 narrow escape
2 a talent for not being seen

basically the thought is to heal with allies and use powerful hobbits to win skirmishes, as well as making Frodo hard to kill.  It will probably be used in conjunction with the morc shadow side from here http://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,8408.0.html.

I am uncertain if I should squeeze in a fifth companion. If so I am considering either Boromir, son of denethor or alternatively use either quickbeam or fladrif along with ent draught for merry and pippin. However either of these things would require removing cards, but I am struggling to find much to remove.

I am also looking for advice on general improvements to the deck-I know that shire countryside is an option but I really don't want to use it. Any other suggestions would however be greatly appreciated.

I'm playing hobbits with a piece of Dauntless hunter for the xtra choke. Just starting with Pippin, Merry and Legolas. You dont even need to play any elven cards and you can kill him at any time if you dont need him anymore.

Shame on you :P

I'd say definitely add a boromir, SoD. If nothing else, he is a 6 str pump then fodder.

Thanks for the help, I am at the moment considering 2 different versions, the first is basically the previous deck with Boromir squeezed in:

Frodo, OBH
atar

Merry, From O'er the Brandywine
Pippin, Friend to Frodo
Sam, Great Elf Warrior

3 hobbit sword
1 Sting, botel
3 there and back again
4 a Promise
4 Everyone Knows
3 Hobbit party guest
2 Farmer Maggot, Chaser of Rascals
1 The Gaffer, Sam's Father
1 Rosie Cotton, Hobbiton Lass
2 Bilbo, Well-spoken Gentlehobbit
1 Horn of the Mark
2 escape
2 narrow escape
2 a talent for not being seen


The second option I have is to focus on merry and pippin, skipping sam and a promise to squeeze in ent draughts and quickbeam. Also swapped out the allies for shire countryside shenanigans for skirmish phase healing to combo with boromir and ent draught
Frodo, OBH
atar

Merry, From O'er the Brandywine
Pippin, Friend to Frodo
Quickbeam, Bregalad

2 boromir, son of Denethor
3 Hobbit sword
4 Everyone knows
4 ent draught
4 Shire countryside
4 NFFatRoD
2 Birthday Present
2 Horn of the Mark
2 escape
2 a talent for not being seen
2 bounder

any opinions on which you believe will work the best?

Mono hobbits really don't work that well in movie.  You either need Dauntless Hunter for the choke or Smeagol for the killing power and other tricks.

You should keep it all hobbit (very similar to your original). In fact, with all those hobbit allies as well I'm amazed you don't use Chance Observation (10C106)! Making any of your companions +11 Strength with a single pump? Yes please >:)
