Ok, another try
« on: June 20, 2010, 06:43:35 PM »
Modified version, as NBarden suggested (still haven't playtested it yet):

Frodo, Resolute Hobbit with The One Ring, The Great Ring
Denethor, Last Ruling Steward (starting)
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver (starting) (Don't know why you put it here. The combo pulls with swordthain, and having it early game is cool. Besides, I'm not assuring any minions roaming. But well, I will test this)
Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien x4 (muuuch better now)
Aragorn, Thorongil
Merry, Swordthain x2
Rohirrim Guard x2

Daddy Twofoot, Next-Door Neighbour

Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade x2
Sting, Elven Long-Knife
Rohirrim Mount
Gondorian Blade x2 (it's actually better to have these since Denethor removes them)
Armor of the White City x2
Bow of Minas Tirith x2
Shield of the White Tree

A Light In His Mind x2
Hardy Garrison x2

Unheeded x4
No Visitors x2
Community Living

It looks a little thick, but only trying it out will tell.

Houses of Healing seems out of place. Farewell To Lorien might be a better option.

I would use A Light In His Mind instead of Home and Hearth.

Rohirrim Mount instead of Riders Mount.

Armor of The Citadel is too expensive, go with Armor of The White City or Footman's Armor (they'll just be ditched with Denethor anyway).

I would also add a Leowyn or two or three.

Maybe Birthday Present or Daddy Twofoot to bring back unheeded, also looks like a perfect deck for shadowplay.

Yeah, just realized HoH only heals gondor guys. But I think there is soe better healing for this deck other  than FtL. Anyway, I'm putting that in.

Thanks, THAT was the horse I was looking for! That's so much better! Leowyn could be nice, too.

Daddy Twofoot is awesome, thanks. I thought about Shadowplay, but I don't know what to take out.

Anyway, thanks. Edited the list.

Ick. Better idea than Boromir, but needs some work. Lemme go through it.

Frodo, Resolute Hobbit with The One Ring, The Great Ring
Denethor, Last Ruling Steward (starting)
 (starting)
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver (starting)

Legolas, Fearless Marksman x3
Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien x4 (+1- draw her fast and heal)
Rohirrim Guard x 2 or 3 (Running both bouncing hobbits = lose initiative 3 times in one turn- Hardy Garrison and A Light In His Mind?)
Aragorn, Thorongil
Merry, Swordthain (x2?) moved- The combo you're looking for is Eowyn's Sword (nicely done) and Riddermark Javelin(s?). Plus, if you draw into another Merry, you can always pull a bounce/pitch with Rohirrim Guard trick.

Robin Smallburrow
Woodhall Elf

Daddy Twofoot !!!!!!

Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade x2
Sting, Elven Long-Knife
Rohirrim Mount
Gondorian Blade x2 (don't have any extra Andúril)
Armor of the White City x2
Bow of Minas Tirith x2 (again, I don't have another Ranger's Longbow)
Shield of the White Tree x2

-Meh. I'm going for decidedly mediocre here. I guess its enough for Denethor to play around with.

A Light In His Mind x2
Surrendered Weapons x2 (worthless)
Hardy Garrison x2
Farewell to Lórien x2 (running a card like this when you're only running 1 elf? Plus you should drop Legolas for Rohirrim Guard anyways).

Unheeded x4
No Visitors at lest 1 or 2.

Mebbe Knife of the Galadhrim?


AAAAAAAAAANDDDDDDDDDDD

For kicks and giggles maybe even Gandalf, Powerful Guide with Brooding on Tomorrow.

Surrendered Weapons worthless? That's the only way I can assure to discard the weapons so I can use the combo each turn, instead of 1 or 2 times.

EDIT: Yeah, playtested this, and the 3 card combo is not worth the slots. It actually did pretty good, won 2 matches out of 3, but it was DIFFICULT. Now I'm changing the list to the one you suggested and gonna test it.

Minions are roaming at the start of the game, so you can actually ninja minions off the RB if you want to. Then you draw into your companions, start to set up, voila! Merry comes into play about the time you've got the combo ready to go.

Cut Gwaihir, your chance of drawing into Gandalf soon enough to use him effectively is not that great. In fact, since you're running 35 cards before No Visitors, you may just need to drop the Gandy package. Its more for kicks and giggles anyways, not really reliable enough to run if you're over deck spaces, and No Visitors is absolutely 100% totally more worth it (this is actually part of the reason Pippin can kick butt early game). In fact, I would toss in a Community Living to ensure you can get Twofoot earlier (and its better than another copy of twofoot because it thins your deck). So drop the Gandy package, toss in Community Living and 2 No Visitors. Now you have a 35 card deck still, but its cool because you're running this with Rohirrim Guard.

Ok. Well, too bad for Gandy, I really wanted a deck in which to use Gwaihir (NOT Horn, in fact, I got Gwaihir for it, but nobody wanted to play against me :D)

Changed the list. Gonna test this on Friday after Chile vs Spain.

Now its looking sweet. BTW, the Pippin combo I was looking at is Daddy Twofoot into No Visitors, cancel Pippin's skirmish, win Denethor's skirmish and bounce to kill off a minion with the RB. Assuming, of course, you topdeck fast enough to get twofoot in play. If not, pitch No Visitors via Guard/discard at end of turn, they're more help in your discard pile until you get Twofoot out.
