VultanH 8

VultanH has a newer deck inspired by this one: Turn 1 Go Go Treebeard Rangers!

Used in a Campaign, the idea is for you to be Player 1 and have Frodo for his Ring Resource. Try to mulligan for Treebeard turn 1 so that you have 4 heroes. Then the deck is about building up and maintaining a strong board state while healing yourself and others.

If you do not get Treebeard after the mulligan, this deck should have enough card draw and sustain, to hopefully get Treebeard out soon (via Beravor, Gléowine, Elf-stone, Entmoot or Deep Knowledge

good alternative choices that got suggested was changing Glorfindel with @Pippin and Drinking Song for lower threat and even more card draw to get Treebeard

How are you getting Treebeard turn 1? Only way I can see it happening is there's already an active location and you play and clear Elf Stone...

This could theoretically work if you force engage an enemy during setup, otherwise, @Marctimmins89 is right -- you can only play allies during the planning phase and in general Mablung's ability will trigger only during the encounter phase.

Thanks for commenting guys! I should specify that we play campaign, so the idea is that this player is Player 1 and has Frodo with his extra Ring Resource in order to afford Treebeard in Turn 1. If not, we should have enough card draw to get Treebeard out relatively quickly, via Beravor, Deep Knowledge Elf-stone or Entmoot

nice strat for saga, good use of ring-res.

would play with Faramir instead of Glorfindel then you benefit double of engagement (mablung and free readying on Treebeard)

the 1-point-healing of Glorfindel is not very effective a all.

If you add Faramir, I think Pippin would be a great final hero, adding more engagement fun. I know I have seen a deck with that hero lineup. Plus, Drinking Song would increase the chances of hitting a Turn 1 beard.

Thank you @doomguard and really good point on alternative heroes @NERD. Sadly my friend who I'm campaigning with is running a hobbit deck with Pippin and Drinking Song but if not then definitely a great idea. I'm a bit nervous about tricolour decks though, trying to use Faramir might require a big rebuild. Thoughts?

as said, adding 3 Errand-rider and if its not enough either a few songs (battle or wisdom) or Envoy of Pelargir and no other adjustment is needed. the res o faramir will either go to another hero or he becomes a song. so only 3-6 cards must be replaced. and, or Treebeard it makes no difference because he is neutral. replacing the 3-6 cards i would choose 1-2 Elf-stone 1-2 The Long Defeat and 1-2 Thrór's Map

ah interesting thank you @doomguard, sadly I'm missing some of the song cards but can make a tricolour with Faramir
