Casual Gandalf RB Site Path Control Freeps Only
« on: May 14, 2010, 06:47:10 PM »
Starting:
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings
Gandalf, Bearer of Obligation
Radagast, The Brown
Smeagol, Scout and Guide

Cards 34
Inspiration x4
Servant of the Secret Fire x4
Speak "Friend" and Enter x4
Barliman Butterbur, Prancing Pony Proprietor x1
Erland, Dale Counselor x1
Gandalf's Staff, Ash Staff x1 (Used for the Muster)
Glamdring, Foe Hammer x1
Narya x1
Shadowfax, Unequaled Steed x1
Follow Smeagol x1
Poor Wretch x4
There's Anouther Way x4 (Regroup Ability comes in Handy)
Ranger of Westernesse x4
Sam, Son of Hamfast x1

Ok So the whole point of this Freeps is to play the whole site path. This deck is used with a Troll Swarm deck so having the site path be all Underground is key to winning. The only problem I can see is that my hand might get clogged with all of the Rangers and Insperations. Note that I dont have any cards sides Ages End past Bloodlines. Also this deck is casual and my playgroup area doesnt use archetype decks.

Thanks!

Gandalf, BoO self-corrupts too easily. You have way too many non-Gandalf free peoples cards in the deck. To have any sort of chance of surviving with Gandalf, BoO you nearly have to run a straight Gandalf only freeps in order to have enough cards to discard per move to avoid burdens.

.. like ents!

Seriously, I believe Ents are the only way to build a serious Bearer of Obligation Deck. Especially with cards like Fireworks and all those "put-on-the-bottom-of-your-draw-Deck" ents.

You also can play Pipeweed Hobbits (together with some Ents though) with it and [Gandalf] Men and a Theoden/Aragorn (only Theoden, aragorn and their swords will be non-gandalf cards though). Theme is also optional.
