Ents + Wizards!
« on: March 13, 2013, 08:39:30 AM »
I haven't played this deck yet so it is untested but I'm really excited to try it out!

Starting:
Frodo, Mr. Underhill (P) (0P67)
The One Ring, Answer To All Riddles (4R1)
Huorn (9R25) x2

Fellowship:

Gandalf, Defender of the West (7C36) x3
Gandalf, Defender of the West (P) (0P26)
Radagast, The Brown (9R+26) x2
Quickbeam, Bregalad (6C33)
Treebeard, Keeper of the Watchwood (10R18)
A Wizard Is Never Late (1R87) x3
Saved From the Fire (8R20) x2
On Your Doorstep (8U19)
Fireworks (3C32)
Sent Back (9R27) x2
Trust Me as You Once Did (3U35) x2
Ent Draught (9R24) x2
Enraged (6R26) x2
Enraged (AI) (6R123) x2
The Tale of the Great Ring (10U116)
Out of the High Airs (10R17)
Glamdring (1R75)
Sting (1R313)
Narya (3R34)
Gandalf's Staff, Walking Stick (4R91)
Radagast's Staff (P) (0P57)
Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad (3R13)

Strat: Starting with the 2 Huorns you want to pull either A Wizard Is Never Late or a copy of Gandalf and play him. Saved From the Fire is for use on the Huorns but you can also use it on either wizard if you have to because Sent Back allows you to just replay them again. Gandalf can die over and over and still come back, hes 9 strength base because of all the Gandalf culture characters and makes sure everyone wins their skirmish with Trust Me as You Once Did (which isnt hard when Treebeard is regularilly 16 strength because of Enraged). This deck is designed to double move lots because of Radagast, The Brown, Radagast's Staff (P) (0P57) and Out of the High Airs (10R17) as well as all of the pumps that stay on the table like Enraged (6R26) and Trust Me as You Once Did (3U35). If things go sour in the double move, let a wizard die since you can play him again next turn! All those conditions can be played out of your discard if killed using Treebeard which also gives you condition removal as well! With Fireworks, On Your Doorstep and Saved From the Fire you get extreme deck control and guaranteed early setup but at a high twilight cost. Plus the awesome coolness factor of using only Wizards and Ents to accompany Frodo on his epic mission!

I like the idea! Is Radagast's Staff movie legal? Is the deck in concept phase or have you had a chance to test it in games? What shadow do you combine it with?

Thanks for the positive reception guys! As for  Frodo, Mr. Underhill + Radagast's Staff both came out before set 11 and are promo cards and therefore they are movie legal (at least in my playgroup). If someone you play with #$&*@! about it you can easily swap Radagast's Staff for Wizard Staff and Frodo, Mr. Underhill for Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir (and then also replace The Tale of the Great Ring for Bounder) but that makes the deck less cool in my opinion. If you couldn't tell, I like using promo cards :P

As for the shadow I pair with this, check the triple culture burden shadow I posted same day as this deck. As I said before the deck is untested but I am eager to try it out against my friends! GEMP it up and tell me how you do!
