This is part of my "cycle progression" playthrough, where I get access to all of the cards from a cycle at once, in addition to the prior cycles. For the Against the Shadows (AtS) cycle, that includes the core (Core), Shadows of Mirkwood (SoM), Khazad-dum (KD), and The Hobbit (TH).
The goal of this deck is to clear all three locations and avoid quest stages 2 - 4. Mono tactics avoids several nasty cards like The Master’s Malice, Orc Vanguard, and Orc Arbalesters.
Stage 1 is siege questing, so we lean heavily into that with a total starting hero defense of 8 on Beregond, Boromir, and Thalin and cheap, high defense allies like Defender of Rammas and Vassal of the Windlord. If you get lucky and draw a Gondorian Shield, the free play on Beregond is a nice start.
Envoy of Pelargir gives you a chump blocker at a net cost of 1 and Boromir gives you the ability to siege quest then defend/attack on the first round if the reveal isn't to your liking. Give the man a Gondorian Shield if you draw a 2nd copy.
If you can make it directly from stage 1 to stage 5 with all 3 locations cleared, you roll right into battle questing. Beregond isn't great but Boromir and Thalin can do work. Add in your Vassal of the Windlords and buffed up Eagles of the Misty Mountains and baby, now you've got a stew going.
In hindsight, I'm not really sure what Knight of Minas Tirith is doing for this. Probably worth a change.
From my plays, the direct damage from Gondorian Spearman and Spear of the Citadel didn't make a huge difference but Thalin made some of the high and enemies just killable. At a minimum, Spear of the Citadel is there to enalbe Foe-hammer and Goblin-cleaver.
