Premise
A Noldor deck built around the amazing amount of card draw Erestor provides. You utilize your huge card advantage to swarm out a decent army of allies, boosting them (once your deck runs out) with Lords of the Eldar, which you can play twice every round due to having 6 spirit resources every round (two normally, 2 more with Steward of Gondor which goes on Círdan the Shipwright, 1 through the ability of Arwen Undómiel and the last one (if need be) with Magic Ring).
How To Play
Look for some form of resource acceleration in your opening hand, most notably To the Sea, to the Sea! or the Steward/Reforged combo. From there on, you want to play as many allies as you can to have a decent outlook for very impactful Lords of the Eldar later on.
Considerations
Elrond and Double Back become very attractive prospects in higher player counts, A Very Good Tale and Envoy of Pelargir are cards I recommend if you want to maximize your swarm potential (maybe against quests that need lots of stats/bodies early on). Will of the West can also be a solution to fix your lack of deck late on, I personally prefer going the Lords of the Eldar-route however.
Enjoy!!!
