Adjusted the deck. Figured since pippin removes a burden out the gate and sam can peel up to 3 I should be able to bid enough to go first. I dropped 1x
Hobbit Farmer (left 1 just in case) and added 1x Elrond and 1x
Vilya to the fellowship. That way in case I run into trouble with
Blade Tip,
DDotR or other annoying conditions I can somewhat avoid them with
Vilya. If not then at least Aragorn has some healing no if I have to abuse his bow. I add another
They Are Coming to the shadow to balance it out.
So far deck is 4-0, 2 wins vs Nazgul (one all twilight other a mix of twilight and normal) and 2 wins against Moria (one swarm the other archery). Im hoping that I can choke out enough (ATRNBS,
NSttS, and
Bill the Pony) to not have too much trouble with Uruk-hai, but not entirely sure. As for
I think I can out heal the direct wounding/archery guys and I can survive the burden guys easy I believe, but only playing against it will tell. The most pool I've given at a site before shadow generates their own has been 12 (once at site 9 and once after playing Elrond and
Vilya).
A site 5 Flame of Udun may cause some problems, other than that, it looks very solid. Possibly Thrarin DS?
I Have Aragorn with
Armor to deal with that. All he would need is either sword and his
Armor. Without a sword Merry can bump him for one fight and he can die in fierce if he has too. Not to mention I get setup up really fast (since i empty my hand each fellowship phase without giving too much twilight thus far and moria on the opposite side) and when I do Sam or Frodo can fight a Balrog if needed take the wounds and heal up on my next Fellowship phase thanks to ally power.
Biggest problem that I can think of right now asside from what I havent yet seen is going first not being able to bait the opponent into a double and moving to the site that tosses all my allies. If they do get ahead and don't play Moria I can easily stop a double from 7-9 with my site 8, save my allies and double myself
.
This is probably one of my favorite FotR decks right now, I have tons of fun playing it cause it keeps you busy and thinking each turn. Not to mention it isn't the over played Last Alliance of Elves and Men Archery Choke.
