Mithrandir Deck

[hrcho]

But if Gandalf's Cart gets discarded, you are boned.

Well, that goes for pretty much anything, but I believe there will be other possessions that pose a more immediate threat to the shadow player which he would like to discard... not many cards actually allow the Shadow Player to choose the Free Peoples possessions to discard. Most popular such card is Corsair Marauder and I really think he would rather get rid of Aragorn's Bow than Gandalf's Cart for example.

Isengard Smith is the one card I can think of that can take out Gadalf's cart in fellowship block.

Do not underestimate Beauty is Fading.

[Sam, Great Elf Warrior]

Theoretically, Such a Little Thing could work as well, though the situations in which you could actually hit a loaded Gandalf's Cart with it are very rare.

Someone please make a Mithrandir decklist and post it here. A 10 strength, damage + 1 Gandalf is to awesome to discount.

You should try to include Roll of Thunder and TotGR.

TotGR = ?

Deck looks fun, thanks Legolas3333.

[Mythdracon]

Cool, thanks. What movie block sites would you recommend? Or Fellowship sites/TT/ROTK sites?

It always depend of the shadow you will use.

[Imrahil]

Well you could play with Borne Far Away and make BOTH Aragorn and Gandalf in phoenixes! :-0

Just to add to the implausibility of this deck...

A couple copies of Intimidate wouldn't hurt either, but it's your call.

[Mythdracon]

Borne Far Away is fun, yes. It would be nice to resurrect other chars...I think aside from that card the only one that can come back from death is Gandalf.

I just found this topic and I used to play a Mithrandir deck.  I decided to use his wounding ability to help me, so I gave him Shadowfax and ran a bunch of Threw Down My Enemy.  I used Behold the White Rider too, to add some wounds for TDME.  I cycled these back with Fireworks and Barliman.  I can't remember the exact decklist, but it had both Sent Back and Moment of Respite to keep him alive with all the wounds.  It worked pretty well actually.  I might try to rebuild it and post the decklist here.

Looking forward to it

I couldn't find my old decklist, but I put this together in order to keep that theme.  It's 39 cards, but with Fearless Marksman and Moment of Respite I think it shouldn't be too bad.
