The Three Hunters quest. Aragorn defends, Gimli soaks and counterattacks, Legolas cleans up. Yes, Gimli with 3 Citadel Plates and a War Axe is OP. Yes, you should try it.

Two thirds of this deck is either Restricted attachments or card draw, so it's not uncommon to play 3 or more on the first turn. Take advantage of the contract's discount on as many heroes as you can each turn and you'll never want for resources for long. Contract is usually flipped by turn 2 or 3. By 4-6, you're questing for 15-20, Aragorn is defending twice for 5-7, and Gimli is attacking in the double digits.

Card Draw x10: Ancient Mathom, Elven-light, Unlikely Friendship, Gather Information
Resource Acceleration x3*: Unlikely Friendship; Forth, The Three Hunters!
Action Advantage x9**: Armored Destrier, Light of Valinor, Unexpected Courage, Feint, Hour of Wrath
Encounter Control x5: Test of Will, Armored Destrier
Threat Reduction x3: Galadhrim's Greeting, Double Back
Healing*: Forth, The Three Hunters!

*Forth, The Three Hunters! provides consistent resource discount from turn 1, and healing once flipped.

**Aragorn and Legolas each provide readying abilities for either a resource or a card

===== The Armory (22 Restricted Attachments) =====
Aragorn (5):
Ancestral Armor* x3
Armored Destrier x2

Gimli (5):
Citadel Plate* x3
Raiment of War
War Axe

Legolas (5):
Mirkwood Long-knife x3
Silver Circlet x2

Anyone (7):
Celebrían's Stone
Dagger of Westernesse x3 (replace with Valiant Sword when available)
Gondorian Shield x3

*These can technically be played on any of the 3 heroes

Sideboard: If anything here looks enticing for your quest, you can try dropping a couple daggers/shields, I left them both at 3x for general consistency.

First off, this deck is amazing. The speed and consistency of getting questing, defense, and attack up and running is remarkable.

A question, though: given the synergy with Aragorn, Gondorian Shield, and Elven-light, why no Steward of Gondor; perhaps instead of a copy or two of Unlikely Friendship? I realize it's overused, but it turns into "free" readying of Aragorn or Gimli (through Legolas).

Thanks @LepcisMagna, glad you enjoyed it! I've been fine tuning it pretty much since the contract and Golden Belt were first announced. Steward of Gondor would make a solid addition, as in most decks. I'm a sucker for theme though and am always excited to create a competitive deck without it.
