After my deck on how to place a lot of direct damage on enemies (http://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/1277/i-ll-damage-you-directly-1.0), I wanted to try to do the same for locations. To do this, I worked on a Scout/Ranger Silvan/Dunadain deck which will make short work of any locations in the staging area.

Legolas is here to get a few key cards out of the sphere that will help in placing progress when enemies are killed. This includes his own ability, Arod which can be placed on Legolas and the Blade of Gondolin which can be placed on all heroes to place more progress once enemies have died. The Rivendell Blade can make this easier since the reduction comes in quite handy against most enemies. The two Songs that are included, will help Legolas to pay for the other sphere's since there aren't a lot of cards in this deck.

Idraen brings the Dunadain and side of the card pool to this deck with Warden of Arnor, Northern Tracker, Greyflood Wanderer and Lórien Guide to place a lot of progress on locations in play. The sphere also provides this deck with some threat lowering, readying effects and more location control with both Thror attachments (Key and Map).

Haldir of Lórien tags along for the sphere with some key events like Distant Stars and Expert Trackers to help with locations. Lore also brings some good allies to the board, even the Ravenhill Scout isn't all to bad in this deck, so I wanted to include him to see if his ability helps in shifting some progress around. Wingfoot was a must-include for this ranger deck since it can ready both Haldir of Lórien and Idraen is she isn't readied by her own effect. Healing is also included and some Silvan cards to help bring the more expansive Lórien Guide to the table. Asfaloth will also help in placing 1 token on a location each round, this could make the difference on some locations.

I am eager to see how this deck can be improved when the new APs come out since there are many new Scout cards, but with the current cardpool, this is the best you can do to completely evade the dreadful location lock of some quests.

How would you edit this deck with the current cardpool?

@Turgon This is a deck I haven't touched in a while! I suppose that the new Woodmen archetype would be better suited for placing more progress on locations and benefit more when clearing them. I suppose this deck still works, though I'd change Idraen with Aragorn. You might have to look at the past three cycles and see what cards slot in better with the deck.
