50-card challenge (Three Wise Men) 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

I've had a lot of success lately with 1-player decks that run one copy of each of the important cards in them. (See: Three Wise Men, A Lonely Friendship.) So a friend challenged me, just for fun: can you build a 50-card deck that has only one copy of any card?!

Yes!

To be fair, I had a good starting point. Removing all the duplicates from Three Wise Men gave me 35 cards to include already. I decided to switch to Frodo Baggins so that I could use Fast Hitch, and that led to some obvious choices.

Equivalent Cards

A lot of this serves the same purpose as similar cards in the original Three Wise Men. So, we have:

• 3x Vilya = 1ea Vilya, Word of Command, Heed the Dream, Gather Information, Elf-stone
• 3x Unexpected Courage = 1ea Unexpected Courage, Shadowfax, Fast Hitch
• 2x Flame of Anor = 1ea Flame of Anor, Cram
• 3x Zigil Miner = 1ea Zigil Miner, Ered Nimrais Prospector
• 3x Hidden Cache = 1ea Hidden Cache, Ered Luin Miner
• 3x Daeron's Runes = 1ea Daeron's Runes, Deep Knowledge
• 3x Elrond's Counsel = 1ea Elrond's Counsel, Double Back
• 3x A Test of Will = 1x A Test of Will (a serious problem!)
• 1x A Burning Brand = 1ea A Burning Brand, Hasty Stroke, Small Target
• 1x Asfaloth = 1ea Glorfindel, Sword-thain, Asfaloth
