With plenty of resources, Na'asiyah can get huge numbers but that's not always very useful as few enemies require much more then 8 to destroy. That's why I thought to pair her with Firefoot so she can destroy 2 enemies with just one powerful attack. This is especially powerful if you can attack a small enemy to deal direct damage to a high enemy. It's even more fun when you can destroy 2 enemies with a Quick Strike before they can even attack! Most attachments in the deck go on Na'asiyah and help with her offensive prowess.

Denethor is a very good 2nd hero as he can pay for a turn one Steward of Gondor on our main girl and pass 1 of his resources to her when it's needed later on. He also become our primary defender once he has a Gondorian Shield (and Armored Destrier). The third hero is a bit more up in the air. I chose Lanwyn because I like her versatility and access to spirit for Westfold Horse-breeder (to help fetch Firefoot). A number of spirit heroes could also fill the bill (I put Beregond and Frodo Baggins for more defensive options but other powerhouses - like Arwen Undómiel or Glorfindel - could also work well). Another option would be to include less spirit cards and Háma to recycle Quick Strike.

With the heroes capable of handling most of the combat, that frees up the allies to mostly quest and help get the cards you need. Still, this deck might struggle a bit with questing when playing solo so it's better in multiplayer with more quest focused decks.

I've been trying to make Na'asiyah work for a while, too. In particular, I tried Arwen Undómiel + Elf-friend and Secrecy + Resourceful, but was never completely happy.

Your idea of using Firefoot, though, is just brilliant. The main advantages I can see are:

  • you only have to spend the resources once, because it is basically just one attack
  • you don't have to include numerous readying effects
  • the extra-damage ignores the enemy's shield (which makes it much easier, for example, to destroy ships by just hitting pirates).

Your choice of additional heroes looks interesting. But I'm thinking of putting her in a Dunedain-based shell, because that archetype likes being engaged with multiple enemies at the same time, anyway, and Na'asiyah herself can even "pay" for Dúnedain Hunter.

As soon as i'm done, I'm gonna post my list as well. Thank you for the inspiration, and have fun playing the deck!
