Skeffington has a newer deck inspired by this one: Mining for Relics

This deck is making use of an old favorite card with Imladris Stargazer and Dwarf and Noldor discard mechanics to control the top card in your discard pile to boost Gaeronel and Noldor allies. Relic of Nargothrond is very powerful to boost Gaeronel or Warden of the Havens and just the consistent attachment card this deck archetype needed.

Controlling the top card in your discard pile:

Boosting your questers (Event card on top):

Arwen Undómiel and Wandering Exile can drop a event cards from your hand at the right timing. Elven-light is preferred for that. This boosts Gaeronel and Sailor of Lune.

Boosting your defenders (attachment on top):

Relic of Nargothrond really is the primary card for that. You usually drop at least one to boost a defender for the rest of the round.

Boosting your attackers (ally on top):

Together with Imladris Stargazer you can use Thorin Stonehelm reaction to drop an ally in the discard pile and boost also Gaeronel and Mithlond Sea-watcher. One copy of Wandering Spirit should never be used to revive an ally to use it during the endgame to put itself as an ally on top.

i think, you need 1-2 Will of the West if you use all your descard-mechanics, miner and A Very Good Tale your deck will be empty soon.

ally Glorfindel would fit perfectly.

then, consider Faramir or The One Ring with Power of Command the willpowerboost with discard-top-event is maximum 5 if i count correctly, and the most of the allies have 1 willower.

to get the most of Gaeronel i would give her a Unexpected Courage or (because you play without it i asume intentionally) then some Miruvor, that on top gives you more options (if need an attachement on top you can discard Miruvor every time, even after shadowcard is revealed.

This is a neat deck! You could probably throw in The Last Alliance if you wanted to...It would definitely help you with resources, though I don't know if you'd use it on anything. Maybe it could let Wandering Spirit grab Dwarves as well.
