Shellin 2755

A while back, Seastan posted a challenge to beat a quest with a deck he had built that was specifically designed to beat one quest, while being incapable of beating any others (aside from a lucky draw on Assault on Osgiliath). His deck can be found here and is a pretty fun experiment to try to win with. I strongly recommend giving it a shot if you haven't already.

While playing recently, I had an idea to try to build another deck that stood a fairly good chance of beating one quest, while being woefully unprepared for any other encounter deck in the game. I definitely didn't test this deck out against every quest, but I did manage to get pummeled by a few others I thought it might be able to squeak by with some luck. I would love to be proven wrong if you can think of a quest other than the one I built it for to beat.

If you'd like to give it a shot, feel free to use rot13.com to scramble your answers and post in the comments below.

I forgot to include the contract in the deck prior to publishing, but this should include Messenger of the King for Ingold.

If anyone just wants the solution prior to trying it out for themselves, this is what I had built around:
