frozen has a newer deck inspired by this one: Misty Mountain State Eagles

This is the second deck in my thematic fellowship for taking on the Ered Mithrin cycle. I wanted to use the new heroes and the more full fledged Eagle archetype. This is obviously the combat deck.

Mulligan for Radagast's Staff or Word of Command. Having a cheap Eagle in our opening hand is ideal. Opening turn would be either playing the Staff, or playing a cheap Eagle so that Radagast can quest without exhausting, then playing word of command at the end of your turn.

Combat can mostly be handled by Grimbeorn the Old (there's an Expected Courage for him in the other deck), but obviously the Eagles help out tremendously as well. With Radagast's discount, bouncing even a 4-cost Descendant of Thorondor in and out of play isn't too painful, and that's basically the whole strategy - play cheap Eagles and overwhelm orcs with your absurd stats.

Loyal Hound can also be discounted with the staff and supplies additional attack boosts plus damage cancellation.

The only card I'm not perfectly happy with is Lore of Imladris, I'd rather the other deck handle healing with Lembas or something but there's not enough room. Nothing immediately comes to mind as a replacement either.

For healing, some options that wouldn't bend the theme too much might be Dale Messenger, Daughter of the Nimrodel, Galadhrim Healer, Waters of Nimrodel, and Song of Healing.

Also, depending on the quest, The Long Defeat could work.

Those are good suggestions, thanks! I wish I owned Land of Sorrow!

Since I'm using this deck as part of a fellowship, I was hoping this other deck could handle the healing as part of its more supportive role, and I think Daughter fits well there, I just don't know what to remove from that deck, and then what non-healing cards I would put here, unless I just swap like Wizard Pipe over.
