"For though the Stones be lost, they say, still the Lords of Gondor have keener sight than lesser men, and many messages come to them."

A deck dedicated to support, primarily through the scrying offered by both the Palantir and Denethor (with Unexpected Courages attached). The three card scry of the Palantir, on top of letting a group of decks quest for the exact amount they need (be it to clear an active location or a side quest, or simply to avoid questing unsuccessfully), can also inform their decisions in the Planning phase, as to whether it's a good time to play Ranger Spikes, whether or not to save resources for A Test of Will, Secret Paths or The Evening Star, and so on.

Further from my comment on your blog -I also like how cheap this deck is! Nothing above two cost with potentially 4 resources a round is going to be amazing.

Why three Halfling Bounders with only two side quests?

Feb 14, 2017 Qwaz 404

Makes sense to me. The side quests don't disappear from the victory display when you use a bounder...You'll get three cancels from your three bounders assuming you can get a SQ into the victory display, making 6 cancel total...pretty strong i'd say.

Yeah, the number of side quests doesn't matter to the Bounders, I only need one. As noted in the blog post, Gather Information could be a decent addition to the deck, and that'd increase the consistency, but with the amount of draw I can get from Master of the Forge/Palantir/Daeron's Runes/Deep Knowledge/Elven-light I should find one of the 2 most games. That's also partly why everything is so cheap @Qwaz - drawing that many cards I can't necessarily afford expensive things, though Gildor's Counsel could be a decent option in keeping with the general idea of the deck.

Ok. My only concern was that they would not be consistent enough. I forgot how much draw you put in.
