Forth, Thorongil! 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

This solo deck is supposed to represent the youth of Aragorn when he was known as Thorongil in Rohan. I think it's also a funny way to play a Forth, The Three Hunters! deck with only 2 characters.

The doomed gameplay is used to quickly stuff Thorongil and Elfhelm with their attachments. Snowmane and Raiment of War are supposed to go on Elfhelm. Note that you only need one copy of Raiment of War on Elfhelm to fulfill the condition of the contract as far as he is concerned.

Hopefully Folco Boffin is discarded in turn 2 and the contract is flipped in the refresh phase of turn 2. It's best to play Tighten Our Belts and Peace, and Thought during the first refresh phase. Note that you can't play all the doomed cards in a single refresh phase since you would hit 50 threat. You could still play every doom card except one copy of The Seeing-stone if your threat didn't increase in the first quest phase.

I suggest to exhaust Elfhelm and of course Folco Boffin on Peace, and Thought, because Aragorn will surely be stuffed with Strider and Celebrían's Stone in turn 2. You could also play Unexpected Courage on Elfhelm during turn 2, given that Strider Aragorn can do without UC in early game.

Once your board of attachments is setup, you can quest for 15 without having any hero exhausted, have Aragorn defend once for 12 without shadow, and have Aragorn attack once (possibly with Roheryn) for 14 . Note that the deck doesn't take into account the spoiled erratum on A Burning Brand since it's not official yet. If you need to face multiple attacks, Elfhelm can be a good secondary defender since he could defend twice with an UC for 4 and has 6 hit points.

The deck passed Escape from Umbar twice in a row. Feel free to give it a try and comment it!
