I've been working on a variation on legolas's deck, except that I'm currently using Gimli as RB. You can get his resistance up to 9 pretty easy just by playing (mostly) cheap possessions on him, and with his
Gimli's Helm and
Dwarven Armor, you have a ringbearer who only takes 1 wound, and can't be overwhelmed unless he faces something like... 30 strength?
My other starting guys are the same, DH and
Strider. There are NO other companions in the deck, which was the objective I was going for. I have mixed feelings about
Strider, I hate adding that one extra twilight every time. Now thinking about
Gondorian Prowler instead... but will probably stick with
Strider. Thoughts?
My minion side is basically a crap ton of "onesies" (minions that cost 1), coupled with some
Teeth of Mordor, some
Siege Troop, and some Sauron. Just when you think it's weak-arse swarm... BAM Sauron and
Siege Troop!!!
