frozen has a newer deck inspired by this one: Hobbits and their Helpers

This deck is a pretty standard Black Riders Hobbits deck (and can be even more standard with the inclusion of cards from the sideboard like Faramir), but I tried to twist it a little to make it more thematic for the Saga campaign. So I tried to only include people that specifically helped out these heroes throughout their journeys, hence the potentially unusual inclusion of Galadriel, Halbarad, Mablung, 2 Boromirs, etc.

As usual the Hobbit heroes take center stage so it's all about attachments, and you know em well. Fast Hitch, Dagger, Friend of Friends, and Hobbit Cloak all day long. In fact the attachments are so crucial that despite the lack of theme, I've been recently tempted to swap out Elf-stone for Master of the Forge to try to draw them more often, nothing worse than having only one Friend in hand. Raise the Shire isn't super crucial as the only hobbit allies are unique, so it can be dead or it can be a 4th chance to get Rosie.

Of course other than the obvious thematic ties to the saga, Frodo also gives Merry that extra +1.

Because of the importance of the heroes, Condition attachments are important to remove, and this deck has no built in solutions for that, so you can tech that in or bring a 2nd deck. Miner is always a good pick, Elrond would be the thematic pick assuming you're not playing in a fellowship with the hero. Another slight weakness is location control, although there is a ton of willpower in this deck so you should be able to clear one location per turn.

Hope you enjoy!
