doomguard 1976

The Burglar's Turn is perhaps the weakest and less played contract of all. it gains effectivity with the alep-hero Widfast, because you can now travel to 2 locations and therefore have potential to get 2 of the treasures hidden.

the rest of the deck is a mono-spirit-mining deck without attachments. for discrding and protection the spiritdain is perfect.

little advice:

if Dáin Ironfoot is needed elsewher, you can replace him with Aragorn. then you should add 3 Tale of Tinúviel from th sideboard into your deck.

if arwen is needed elsewhere, for the Elven-light-discard, Legolas or Éowyn can also be used. it would slow up the deck because less res, but more options in multiplayer(she will do her best in the other deck)

I think Silver Circlet, Silver Lamp, or Citadel Plate would be better in the loot deck.

Surprised not to see a bit of further location control here, such as West Road Traveller, Thrór's Key, or A Watchful Peace. And what about some Ancient Mathom?

Another thought -- would this be better with access to ? That opens up a lot of new options for location manipulation. Particularly, this contract is very dependent on getting locations in play, and outside of multiplayer you may hit a drought of locations without something like The Hidden Way to pull more.

I think Forest Road Traveler would be a great addition in a Lore version or with Stand and Fight. I think that Spare Hood and Cloak is just bad, and Thrór's Map doesn't work well with Widfast.

it was well chosen by me. monospirit, because many allies cost 3. so most times , 1 per round @kjeld u know the contract?

yes Spare Hood and Cloak seems not worth it, but its is hard to get refreshing into the game. attachments can only be items or artifacts, so no courage, no horses,..... only way cloak, miruvor and ring all only allowed once in the pile. glad to hear better refreshment under this circumstances.....

Thrór's Map map is independent of Widfast you can use it easily after using #widfast to get an location with attachement in the staging and clear them with Rhovanion Outrider and Northern Tracker

Forest Road Traveler are not better than my other allies that would quest or 2. and go away from monospirit makes Emery worse and my good allies harder to play.

Maybe I am not understanding the rules correctly, but wouldn't Forest Road Traveler quest for 3 if there were two active locations, each with a loot attachment?

Jan 18, 2023 doomguard 1976

i think you are right. but is it worth to replace a spirithero with lore-hero?

you cannot play

within 1 round and

Emery is not secure anymore

if you get them safe, i would say it could be worth it, but 3 of them in the deck and perhaps never see one, is not worth the flaws.

i think i would play them in a woodman-locationdeck, that could perhaps be combines with Widfast and it is perhaps even better than this one, but it is a different concept. and woodman is not very good as The Burglar's Turn because you want to play attachments from your hand.

keeping it The Burglar's Turn which hero do you want to replace and with what?

playing solo, it could make sense, replace arwen or dain with elrond, he can pay or both spheres recording to allies, but in multi it would be an under-use of elronds potential.
