Asfaloth, Swift BlossomI assume, many of you know the various loops with
Gil-Galad, HKOTN, and this one is not much different either, I'm just using
Uncertain Future +
Secluded Homestead instead of multiple copies of
Namarie to fuel it, and I have different goal (normally, it draws your whole deck, creating the perfect hand). I added
Songs of the Blessed Realm + a pair of tales, enabling me to remove all burdens in the regroup. Aside from the loop, I pack a few situational targets for
SFTF that protect against some specific strategies, a threat removing engine, and
Forearmed to win skirmishes.
This is the
raw list, and I'm not sure how it'll work out. I'll probably add a more in depth explanation later, when I get a chance to playtest and refine it. I'm not sure what shadow side I'm gonna pair it with, but forestguls seem to be a nobrainer for it, as
Secluded Homestead requires some forests.
I really wish I could fit in 4 x
Something Slimy and a Smeagol, but
SftF feels like the more powerful setup card, and it loses a lot of its power if you play a tall deck (this one is already taller than I like my
SFTF decks to be). Also I'm planning to build this with real cards, and since I don't have access to a playset of Gil-Galad,
SftF is the only way I can go (otherwise I can see a similar list working better with 4 x
Alliance Reforged and 4 x
Something Slimy).
I eventually want this to be the core of my first non mono
BoO deck, as this engine would gives a perfect solution to
BoO's weaknesses (not being able to run and/or self curroption if the opponent plays no minions).
I welcome any critiques and suggestions
