would add at least 1 Fast Hitch for frodo, then he can be used for Hail of Stones

no Gondorian Spearman and/or Spear of the Citadel?

frodo= bilbo ;)

Do Bilbo Baggins and Argalad's abilities really work together like you said? I understand how you use Bilbo first to gain the spirit boost, then use Argalad to lower that same enemy's threat. But Bilbo's text reads "until the end of the phase he gains +X spirit", and Argalad's is "until the end of the phase that enemy gains -X threat" Aren't those conflicting then? When you resolve the quest, don't you have to take into effect the ;owed threat when deciding how much spirit Bilbo has (because it's a lasting effect??? ) Please correct me if I'm wrong!

@BlackArrow no problem, happy to explain. www.lotr-lcg-quest-companion.gamersdungeon.net Bilbo's willpower increase is a lasting effect that is triggered once and never recalculated.

There are two classes of lasting effects in the game: those created by player cards and those created by encounter cards. Each class is handled differently as follows:

A lasting effect created by a player card ability must be calculated at the time that the ability is triggered, and that effect is not recalculated if the game state changes.

A lasting effect created by an encounter card ability, is recalculated if the game state changes.

@TheChad thank you, this makes so much sense! This (and other situations similar to it) has always confused me, so this was really helpful!

On another note, I used a slightly modified copy of this deck and was able to beat Fate of the Wilderland with it (and now I know I wasn't cheating with Bilbo Baggins and Argalad ;) and it was such an epic game!

@doomguard sure, those would be fine in this deck. But I found there is a balance of how much direct damage you need. It's important to get Argalad's attack power up to 4. This is also a fast deck, where I need to get the pieces online quickly, spearman and Spears take a little too long to get going. Fast hitch on Bilbo is a great idea, I would probably just drop the record keepers and those also cost one lore resource.

Is Good Meal in here just to protect against Swarm of Bats? So you can still play the 1-cost tactics events when they pinch your resources?

@Marctimmins89 yes, and it's the only form of resource acceleration in the deck. You want to be able to play those events when the opportunity arises but you also need to get the Allies in play and weapons.
