Éowyn's always been crushing on the all-noble Aragorn, so it's only a matter of time before she asks him out. Unfortunately, she's had this recurring problem with the stalker who's been chasing her all around Rohan. The man's obsessed. So when she and her dream man finally get to go out... Grima's there to create all kinds of drama. The worst is that Aragorn's a king, so when her much-desired date goes wrong, there's upwards of FORTY PEOPLE who see it all go to hell.

Poor Eowyn.

This is a maximum-willpower deck. Get Sword that was Broken and Steward on Aragorn, then slam as many allies as possible. A Very Good Tale gets you more allies, and Galadhrim Weaver shuffles away your Great Tales. The worst is when you realize that all those Good Tales are about how horrible Eowyn's date was. Frickin' Grima.

I love the description! Poor Eowyn, she never can catch any breaks, can she?

I like that you're using the Weaver and the Prospector as forms of recursion; About how many times per game do you get to play Tale? Do you think you'd find Hidden Cache to be a good fit for this deck?

I like to use Erebor Hammersmith for decks like this, although I guess you don't have many attachments to bring back.

You should add at least one copy of Arwen Undómiel to add to the awkwardness.

@AuthrawBuilding this deck was strange because I forced myself to exclude a lot of the "auto-includes" I have with certain heroes, Eowyn in particular. All of these cards are ones I'd normally include in this deck, had I not given myself the arbitrary condition of including 40 allies, Sword that was Broken, and AVGT:

A Test of Will, Elven-light, Hidden Cache, Keys of Orthanc, and Rod of the Steward. Now maybe Rod of the Steward is worth including despite the fact that it'd cut into my ally count, but since I wanted to build as close to an "all allies" deck as possible, I left it out. I was desperately looking for a card like Erebor Hammersmith that brought back events, since it'd always hit Tale... but alas that card doesn't exist, so Prospector and Weaver will have to do.

@kypatzerThat's brilliant! I tend to avoid unique allies whenever possible since I'm so likely to run into hero conflicts (especially with popular ones like Arwen). But you're totally right, this deck needs Arwen Undómiel.

@kypatzer At least it has Faramir, Eowyn's future bride, to add to the confusion.

Not bride, groom. Typed too fast.
