Durin's Secret Society of Dear Friends

[legolas3333]

site 7 is the only one that won't hurt you, Osgiliath Channel, your aragorn I think is King in Exile or Driven By Need, if it is driven by need then you must use never to get rid of threats and maybe Pippin, sworn to service to add them. You obviously remove burdens in skirmish due to your comment at the beginning, so i would say 1x NFFATROD, your gandalf might be mithrandir, probably is if you can heal 30 wounds every turn... thats all the guessing I'm doing now

EDIT: changed my mind, there's no way you would do something as crazy as what i mentioned above, therefore i stick with Gandalf, Mithrandir and Aragorn, King In Exile

Go ahead and post it. I am curious enough.

You are right about Site 7. NFFATROD ruins my plans for Birthday Present, since there is one other Shire event in the deck I need each turn besides Dear Friends. Mithrandir sounds fun, but I don't really need a strong skirmish companion... and there is still a better option.

Almost all Gorns are useful, so I'll just reveal him as Ranger of the North (P).

Okey dokey.

[legolas3333]

WAIT! do you use not the first halfling? i bet you do cause it's one of like 5 cards in movie that makes a minion strength -2

[Kralik]

Yes. That was Pepin's idea. Working on the first post now.

[legolas3333]

ok after seeing the decklist only one question, why Legolas, Greenleaf (P) the original has a much better picture
and with his name in the title and everythign we couldn't guess durin was in there, oh well

[Kralik]

I like the Promo picture better and I have it in GCCG?

[ket_the_jet]

Awesome! I completely forgot that Gandalf, Greyhame existed. I suppose my only question is:

Why no Barliman Butterbur, Prancing Pony Proprietor?

May be nice in a pinch.

Space and Rule of 4 with Birthday Present.

Hey folks, tell me of the weaknesses you see! My plan for Saruman's Power is Bilbo + Elrond early... Easterling Polearm + Easterling Captain + Small Hope is also a threat. Roll of Thunder, Not the First Halfling, and Suicide Frodo (to "remove" 2 burdens) are my ideas there. Triple would be hard, though. Glamdring helps me plan a bit.

Could you give a basic, by-site estimate of the twilight this deck generates?

Seems like an early Sauron could really mess you up.

Site 1: Very little (Beneath the Mountains, maybe one or two cost conditions like TSC)
Site 2: Depends on whether I used Birthday Present at site 1.

First site after Birthday Present: Lots
Next site: Lots and Lots and Lots
Next site...

Site 9 last game I played: 42 twilight left

Yes, Sauron could be a problem. One of the reasons I go for Preparations and Greenleaf first. But after I get set up (and have Eowyn LoI), big minions are the best! I try not to play 6 companions until I have Slaked Thirsts ready. The first Birthday Present usually grabs TSC, A Light In His Mind, Preparations... not sure if it would be enough to play Sauron.

Kralik, don't play it too often, cause that would be frustrating to others, other than that, most will be in utter amazement with the creativity!

Great deck. I also love your shadow.

Kralik, don't play it too often, cause that would be frustrating to others, other than that, most will be in utter amazement with the creativity!

So perhaps I should alternate this deck with my discard deck?

Great deck. I also love your shadow.

I stole the idea... *cough* *cough*
