Standing in the line of fire,

Limit 9 will lead the way,

Questing over trench and wire

Treat your cards as if they're grey.


A desolate wasteland,

2 months pass while waiting for news:

The birth of a new way

Revealed June 18, 2019.


The first wave approaches

Shadow of the East,

In "Concerning Hobbits"

Breaking away, coming your way.


Standing in the line of fire,

Limit 9 will lead the way,

Questing over trench and wire

Treat your cards as if they're grey.

Standing in the line of fire,

Moving on and through the fray,

Questing over trench and wire

All of your best cards are grey.


The spell has been broken,

A new type of gameplay has come:

The future of design,

For all to be seen 2020.


The new world approaches,

Children of Eorl:

Contract design-space

Breaking away, coming your way!

Deck strategy: Frodo Baggins readies Elrond, giving you a reliable defender once you get A Burning Brand on him. Light of Valinor goes on Círdan the Shipwright, allowing him to use Narya to get extra uses out of your Fellowship boosted allies. Steward of Gondor goes on Elrond and can be paid for using the resources provided by Narya if you don't want to go without Frodo's threat reduction/readying. Vilya is actually primarily in here for the resource icon (A Test of Will, Hasty Stroke), though it's still as busted as ever. Lily Cotton acts as a mini-Narya for Sam Gamgee, who can be played again next round for only 1.

I think adding Galion, Gimli, Treebeard, and Henamarth Riversong would make this a great solo deck. Remove most of the duplicate unique allies.

Sadly, @LEGOlas, I know you're right; Galion and Henamarth Riversong would help flip Fellowship quicker, while Gimli has inbuilt readying and Treebeard... I'm sorry, Treebeard in a Fellowship or Narya deck is just disgustingly good. The allies you listed are, like Daeron's Runes, just too cost-effective to justify leaving out, unless you're deliberately trying to be contrarian like I was here.

Personally, I wouldn't cut the duplicates of the unique allies (because I'm a weenie and like maximum consistency in my decks) so much as swap some of them out, Lily Cotton being exchanged for Henamarth Riversong, Gandalf for Treebroken, maybe Sam Gamgee for Galion and Bill the Pony for Gimli. If you think cutting down on the uniques would help, feel free to; like I said, I'm just a weenie and like to have as many chances to draw them as I can. Alternatively, maybe see if there's a way to squeeze Erestor or Glorfindel in here to make use of the dupes, though I doubt the deck's space will allow for it, or that its cost curve could take it.

(Side question: Why doesn't Fellowship do what it feels like every other contract aside from The Burglar's Turn and Council of the Wise does and make it easier for you to make use of the deckbuilding restrictions the contract provides? Forth, The Three Hunters! provides cost reduction, The Grey Wanderer fetches you Strider and helps smooth resources, even Into the West, which honestly I have no idea what playstyle it tries to incentivize, fetches you the ally at the start. I understand that the boost it provides when setup can be huge (ha ha, 6 Treebeard who can attack twice with Narya go brrrr) but the way it provides no help at all in setting up to the required level irritates me, especially since it feels like the majority of contracts do so. Maybe "Exhaust Fellowship to reduce the cost of the next unique ally you play this phase by 1 (to a minimum of 1)", make it so that you don't effectively have to include Galion, Ioreth, and Henamarth Riversong in order to have a chance of flipping the contract within a meaningful timeframe?

@AlasForCeleborn my only answer to your last question would be that the restriction for building a Fellowship deck is less than those of the other contracts, or at least, it feels less, because you are still allowed a "normal" deck, so to speak. (This is just a guess tho). I do agree with you, it is somewhat strange, and I do feel that the contract can take some time to flip and is hard to keep on side B. Some acceleration would have definitely be nice!
