Support of the Last Homely House [deck - EMHR]

[Shelobplayer]

Hi everyone!

Haven't been playing a lot for the past year until last weekend of swinging cards at the kitchen table, which reignited my love for this game. So naturally I do what I always do when this happens. Try to build a new deck. And this is a spicy one, although admittedly the concept is yet in its infancy, and also uses Ever My Heart Rises, which is on the short list that even I consider NPE (althogh, I grown to hate playing against less and less).

The deck is a giant toolbox, thanks to all the insane interactions with the dwarf stuff. The aim is to get perfect info on the opponent's threats with Recovered Seeing Stone, then sequence the recusrion engine in a way that negates whatever the opponent has.
I put a lot of focus on the reursion of Support of the Last Homely House, as it negates most of expanded's nastiest threats. Fighting allies are extremely hard to deal with for a lot of strategies (Dark Horseman, Her Ladyship, Gollum wounding, nothing works against allies).
Greyhame can recycle allies vs Anduin Confluence, and against Corsair Lookout, Corsair War Galley has to be hardcore targeted (or just simply rely on GWBT instead of Elrond, corsair eventually fold to Blood Runs Chill spam too).
There is also a line of play that creates an invinceible shield from Thrarin, Dwarven Smith.
Other than that with Great Works Begun There, Dwarven Foresight, Preparations and Defending the Keep can get almost anything that solves the board.
The decision tree of this deck is pretty much endless.
