Hi, I just built this deck with the new contract "Forth, The Three Hunters !" that is not available yet on the software. That contract allow me to put 3 restricted items on all 3 heroes and boost by 3 their willpower leading to gigantic quests point for a solo deck without allies. (it also heals by 1 all heroes each turn which is kind of nice cause I usually take a lot of undefended attack early game)

It's not a very competitive deck in solo but it passes Journey along the Anduin and those kind of quests pretty well. Though, it's really fun to play and it has great synergy with decks that can lower the threat and cancel shadow/When revealed effects (Caldara decks for instance)

The point of the deck is to have a lot of restricted attachment on all 3 heroes, They all quest, then they all readies for the combat phase. Aragorn with Gondorian Fire + 2x Sword of Númenor + Roheryn strikes in the staging area. Then Gimli tank with 8+ armor and 8+ health up to 3 times with Unexpected Courage (Gondorian Shield + Blood of Númenor ...). And then Legolas strikes.

I always put Steward of Gondor on Gimli in order to generate enough ressources to pay for Roheryn Dúnedain Mark Dúnedain Warning, to ready Legolas after defending but also to pay for Heed the Dream which allows to me to get my restricted items.

2x Unexpected Courage on Gimli and Magic Ring + 1x Unexpected Courage for Aragorn usually.

In the early game I use Silver Harp on Legolas in order to ready Gimli after the quest phase without discarding cards. Then I replace it with Rivendell Blade for extra damage. I also replace Celebrían's Stone with a third Sword of Númenor on Aragorn in the lategame (When I no more need ressources and when the contract is on phase B)

If I have lots of ressources but I am unlucky with the card draw I use Keen as Lances to draw 3 cards. I also like to use Well-Equipped to buff Gimli if required (extremely usefull in first turns against big enemy such as Trolls)

For the Mulligan/first hand I always try to have Steward of Gondor obviously but the "perfect hand would be : -Steward of Gondor -Unlikely Friendship -Roheryn -Magic Ring -Gondorian Fire -Silver Harp

This deck lacks shadow/when revealed card effects but I don't really know how to fit those into the deck.

I hope you'll enjoy ! Don't mind asking questions or give suggestions ! It's always appreciated. :^)

I like this! Many Three Hunters decks focus on setting up to flip the contract asap, so have almost all restricted attachments, but yours has several non-restricted, which I'm thinking of doing too. Probably cuts consistency in first couple of turns, but I'm generally fine with if it means stronger later turns. Also, another thing I considered for later-round consistency is Bartering, which would allow a free swap with discounted early attachments with better stuff later.

The only worry is that there are a number of Tactics cards but only one Roheryn to give the Tactics access. Would more Roheryn help?

I’m glad that you enjoy my deck :^) I think those 3 hunters decks are usually weak in the late game. Therefore I’d rather have on purpose several fail questing turns early on to keep my heroes ready for combat phase and sustaining the early Game then reduce the threat with Aragorn THAN having consistant early game but not being able to win easy quests such as Conflit at the Carrock that require strong lategame set up

I didn’t though about Bartering I will check it out thank you for suggesting it :)

Actually with 3x Heed the Dream it’s likely I am able to get Roheryn in first turns so I’m fine having it x1

Also in the early the Most important thing for me is to have a huge Gimli with Unexpected Courage :)

But I guess this is a matter of Personal preference
