Shards of Narsil combo
« on: December 26, 2010, 08:10:21 AM »
I don't know if anyone else has mentioned this before or not, but here it is:

The cards you need are:
-The Shards of Narsil
-A Light in his Mind

Go down to 4 cards, then stack one on TSoN to lose initiative, take it back for 1 twilight token and repeat to remove all burdens. Since it takes only two cards to set up, it is pretty easy to assemble, but I want to build a deck around this.

So, I'm looking for cards that can be activated multiple times for burdens, and something that lets me discard cards in the fellowship phase. If I find both Birthday Present can become very very helpful, because it adds burdens and gives infinite cards you can discard (of course at the cost of infinite twilight).

Even if there is no way to create a worthy infinite loop with this combo (but I really hope, that with the talented players on TLHH, we can work out something), it still can be pretty helpful with The Great Ring and for example Resolute Hobbit. Maybe there are some better options in movie/open/casual with The Shire Countryside

Any suggestions?

EDIT: Just realized that there may be some problem with the rule of 4. Is it forbids you from using TSON more than 4 times, or is it forbids from drawing/taking cards into hand from your deck only?

EDIT#2: the rule of four is g@y... can't go infinite with this one :(

The rule of 4 is there specifically so you can't go infinite.

The great ring works really well with a deck like this but you don't need Resolute Hobbit as you would have very few burdens to begin with.  The only problem with it that I can currently see is that you can only stack Gondor cards on TSoN so you would have to put in a ton of crappy gondor cards or something.  Unless you were to put A hobbit in your starting to have that card in constant effect and make a gondor deck with everything else.

Obvoiusly, the deck would be Gondor/hobbit. I can't see why do I have to put tonnes of gondor cards into the deck, because I can stack/unstack the same card during the entire game (it can be some unique character/possession for example).

I really hoped, that the rule of four only limits me from taking cards into hand from the draw deck, but as it stands right now, I absolutely won't use this combo in expanded, maybe in movie block...
