This is my Original Elrond Vilya deck I made waaaay back in the Dwarrowdelf cycle before most of you were even born.

The Hero cast is the same. Most of the cards are the same, but it has been updated slightly to fit more modern sensibilities. (See the mod list below) I could make it even stronger but I refuse. Besides I already beat Carn Dûmb with this deck. (single-handed)

The Vilya Engine™

  • Vilya The great summoner ring! Summon forth an army worthy of Rivendell! Use every turn.
  • Imladris Stargazer Elvish astronomy is needed to see the road ahead. Lest we summon A Test of Will by mistake. Nobody wants that except Sauron. Rig the top deck for Vilya!
  • Master of the Forge You want to thin your deck of attachments and control the top five. If the top five sucks then you need a reshuffle. This guy solves both!

Timing consideration for dem lovable noobs: Trigger Forge and Stargazer after the quest phase/staging to avoid disappointment. I like to do it before the refresh phase, so they exhaust and then immediately refresh. I will normally always fire Forge before Stargazer to thin the deck and order a reshuffle unless the top 5 are too good. This also rigs the top five before the draw phase so you can plan the card you'll draw versus the card you summon for free with Vilya. This is the only deck where I almost wish I could skip drawing a card and only do controlled drawing with Erestor. (After the engine is complete of course doh)

Location Destruction

  • Asfaloth The best targeted Location destroyer in the game still. Asfaloth eats locations, or tramples them mercifully with his(?) hooves. Trigger after staging before resolution.
  • Northern Tracker The classic fire hose for clearing out droves of locations.

Enemy Murder Implements (mostly Eagles)

  1. Legolas
  2. Black Arrow
  3. Support of the Eagles
  4. Eagles of the Misty Mountains + 7 (maximum number of eagles that can leave play to boost)
  5. ?????
  6. Profit! (or 17 attack) (and Glorfindel too! 20 attack!) (And Elrond with 3 Unexpected Courages 22!!!) (What about Treebeard not to mention his friend Saruman? 31!!!!!!!!lllllllllololol Check to see if there's anything left to bury)

MISC

  • Sword-thain is paid for by Vilya and goes on whoever, my preference is a Lore character but to be honesty this card is extraneous and I just threw it in because hey.
  • Elf-stone Surprisingly good with Asfaloth in play. Lets you drop a powerful expensive ally you accidentally drew into your hand. (No Wizard Pipe!)
  • Unexpected Courage Elrond wants at least 2 of them. Legolas could use the third.
