Deckbuilding Challenge

[chompers]

Here's my idea (for FOTR block) - choke like crazy with Aragorn HTTWC, Bill the Pony, NSTTS, Deft in their Movements, A Talent for not being seen. Use We Must Go Warily ot increase cost of minions. Use Galdor to increase their hand size (get rid of minions), and Change of Plans to shrink it. Increase the move limit with Gift of Boats triggering off Galdor and Elrond.  Elrond heals Galdor and draws more cards. Pathfinder to get river sites. Hobbit Stealth to get out of trouble. Sting for inside information about their hand before deciding to move.

Starting Fellowship:
Frodo RA w/ The One Ring IB
Arwen DOE
Sam SOH

Fellowship:
1 x Aragorn HTTWC
3 x Boromir LOG

Rest of deck:
2 x Sting
3 x Change of Plans
3 x NSTTS
3 x Pathfinder
3 x We Must Go Warily
3 x Deft in their Movements
1 x Galdor CFTW
1 x Elrond LOR
1 x Gift of Boats
1 x Blade of Gondor
2 x Flaming Brand
1 x Gwemegil
1 x Ranger's Sword
1 x Bill the Pony
4 x Hobbit Stealth
1 x A Talent for not being seen
1 x O Elbereth Gilthoniel


Can The Tale of Gil-galad deploy on an Ally? If so i would put this in deck and play on Galdor.

Will it work? Can i improve it? Seems like it might be a bit big but i already cut 10 or so cards from it.

Do you know the errata for We Must Go Warily?

Makes it pretty worthless.

yeah, dump it for like Gondor's Vengeance
do you really think one aragorn is enough? in fotr block you are likely to run across decks that thwart the prancing pony i usually don't use it because most people rely on it to get aragorn, as well as decks that bid high.

[legolas3333]

oh yes master of healing could be a nice addition as well

Sweet, you've inspired me... I think I know just the ticket to make a killer deck.

It would involve something like:

What Are We Waiting For x3
Last Throw
Durin's Secret
Change of Plans
Out of the High Airs

Each turn. I know a good way to have these in hand every Fellowship phase.

Stay tuned.

Yeah - exert twice to increase cost by 1 - not as good as it used to be - but if i reduce cost of the shadow on sites by 5 (NSTTS, BTP and ATFNBS) and perhaps even more with DITM hopefully the shadow will be so low I will face at best 2 or 3 decent minions per turn. Galdor gets rid of one of them before i move.

Looking at the deck a second time - i think Change of Plans is unecessary for this deck - it won't be reliable help. We Must Go Marily is also probably unecessary- better to stock up on more cards that reduce shadow, increase the cards that get rid of the few minions in the regroup phase, increase cards that increase move limit.

Would love to fit Master of Healing into the deck as well.

Deck is no longer valid for deck-building challenge. I think Change of Plans only has a use in Movie block.
