Infinite Erlrand with an Elven twist!

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Here is is.

 Starrting:
 Gandalf, Bearer of Obligation w/ The One Ring, The Ruling Ring
 Erland, Dale Counselor
 Merry, Swordthain
 Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver
 Smeagol, Poor Creature
 Galadriel, Lady Redeemed

 Fellowship:
 2x Radagast, The Brown
 2x Gimli, Unbidden Guest
 2x Rumil, Elven Protector
 2x Orophin, Lorien Bowman
 2x Gandalf's Hat
 3x Endurance of Dwarves
 4x Inspiration
 Gift of Boats
 3x Glimpse of Fate
 2x Brooding on Tomorrow
 3x A Light in His Mind
 Memories of Darkness
 4x The Shire Countryside
 A Talent For Not Being Seen
 2x Vapour and Steam

 Basicly usual Erland deck, but better. Once you get one of the Elven allies drop Glimpse of Fate. Now, IT DOESN"T MATTER if you don't have a companion in your hand. Every time you lose initiative a minion is strength -4. If you have a companion in hand a minion is strength -7 or 8. Use Gift of Boats and Radagast, The Brown to run. But this deck also has a Dwarven loop. Use Endurance of Dwarve + Memories of Darkness to make an infinite strength Gimli!

 Any questions?

Uh yea, questions coming up:
1. How does this deck work?
No I'm jking, pretty sweet deck.

[TheJord]

Yeah more Open decks.

The major concern in Open is always a fast setup as Shadow hands in this format are designed to end you quickly. This makes me think that Smeagol is a good idea as you can use Something Slimy to pull conditions quick. So throw that in, because The Shire Countryside and A Light in his Mind are ESSENTIAL

[GarrisonofGondor]

 I was actually thinking of puting it in. Any other suggestions?

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Delay the poo poo. O0

[Vroengard]

much more important..why Merry, Swordthain??

[TheJord]

He needs 2 companions for A Light in His Mind

[ElvenSpearman21]

 OH, I need to make this deck.

[Gate Troll]

Funny, these kind of decks always get crushed by the Open loop decks.
Yes they're nasty, but not as nasty as Fruit loops and Fiend decks. 

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Open loops?

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Amen to Gate Troll, Fiend ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

[Elrohir]

  Another Gandalf deck, which I can not imagine to play for myself....

I did not tested it, but which cards will you discard for Gandalf? Why using Gandalf as ringbearer in this deck?

I like the initiative theme - I will try this soon. 

[GarrisonofGondor]

 Gandlf is there because you need burdens and he adds them. He is also there because you need him for Inspiration.

[Elendil!Urukfear]

Open loops?

They must seriously not see me or something.  . . .
actually that's kinda cool.

Funny, these kind of decks always get crushed by the Open loop decks.
Yes they're nasty, but not as nasty as Fruit loops and Fiend decks. 

Fruit loops is just there to show off. Its way too slow. It doesn't go off until turn 3, and in the regroup at that! That gives Fiend 2 chances to kill you, which it usually does quite nicely. Pretty much, you need something to pair with Fiend. Like Horn.

Yeah, this deck is too slow. I'm not exactly sure how to speed it up.
