I've been thinking of a way to use Rossiel for a while and in particular how to use her alongside Silvan Tracker (or preferably many Silvan trackers) to get healing every round. A key element to this is the unloved Elven Mail that both gives the hit-point safety net required with the excellent bonus of providing sentinel - a key factor as this is not going to beat many quests solo. With a icon now required and the Silvan trait preferable there is only one choice for the next hero - Legolas. He turns out to be a perfect fit for what this deck will try and do.

This is namely to sit back and control what the encounter deck throws at you and pick away at it from a distance. As such I decided to bring secrecy into play enabling Resourceful and with so few allies Strider which are key cards to mulligan for. I would prefer to see Strider as it is not an expensive deck. Out of the Wild is also a great card to see straight away to get Rossiel questing hard without exhausting for 6 often turn 1.

After that it is about drawing the right part of the tool box at anyone time which can be achieved with Daeron's Runes, Foe-hammer or Keen as Lances.

This is a support deck with healthy early and mid-game questing, a fantastic defender with sentinel (Rossiel will have 4 with 5 shaddow cancellation and healing 1-3 every refresh) and a well equipped ranged attacker.

Not a power deck but fun to play and has a real sense of playing secrecy without mustering an army of allies.

Could use a Magic Ring for untapping. I like this idea. It's cool. I would like to see another paired deck that also plays Out of the Wild and Keen as Lances and handles more of the questing burden.

Hi I would put in master of the forge to get your attachments out when you have most of them chumplock with him. So that you dont devaluestrider with allies .

Thanks for your suggestions!

@pokieMagic Ring is definitely an option here as the deck is lacking in actions. I really like the idea of a paired deck with Out of the Wild and Keen as Lances to really take the sting out of the encounter deck and making Keen as Lances free a lot of the time. Two decks running three of the same card is not an idea I've come across much (as a typically solo player and aside from staples such as Daeron's Runes) but I did run a game with this deck and another having 3 Keeping Counts. Legolas ended the game with 9 counters on his meaning other heros were attacking with + 9 from a free card. I'm going to put further thought into what deck(s) to pair with it.

@OlanderI've definetly considered Master of the Forge and have used them with Strider decks before as you suggest. I guess it is mostly thematic reasons why I didn't include it here but I can definitely see the benefit.
