This is my Solo version to try to use as best the dunedain strategy. For this you need to get engaged with enemies. To perform this at best pair it with trap is a good idea. So we have a full ranger deck with trap gondor and dunedain.

Follow me! is a proxy of followed and ranger of the north is Emyn Arnen ranger. You can see them here: https://images-cdn.fantasyflightgames.com/filer_public/2a/c0/2ac0c45a-fc0b-48b6-8889-dc42605d2b26/mec61_cardfan1.png

Some minor points:

  • I think 3x Emyn Arnen Ranger is better
  • Gondorian shield is not needed. Strong enemies get Snared or Feinted. Or, if Aragorn has Brand and Destrier he can block a week enemy and let Guardians of Arnor with 5+ defense defend the strong enemies.
  • Without an ability to search him out, I do not like 1x Warden of Healing. Ether include more to make healing more consistent or take him out and make the rest of the deck more consistent so you don't need him. Personally I don't run into healing problems with Dunedain for 2 reasons: 1) Dunedain allies have several hit points. 2) Galadriel is a great archery target.
  • I have not tested this, but I have a feeling that Sword that was Broken will no longer be needed with Followed and Emyn Arnen ranger.

So if I follow your advice I will do something like: -2 gondorian shield -1 sword that was broken -1 warden of healing +1 Emyn Arnen Ranger and two others cards, may be 1 dunedain pipe and 1 coney and a trap

I will do my first test with my original list but I will keep in mind your idea so if I got the same feeling I will change it right away. Thanks.

If you are playing solo, making those 2 cards Henamarth is probably a wise choice so you can always play him. Too good not to have in general, let alone a trap deck.

I make my first 2 games of playtesting with this deck and:

  • It is less powerful that it seem to be: trap are even more complicated to setup that I thought it was, not that many enemy at the beginning. I want to continue to play it but it will never be one of the powerful deck that I can play against the major part of nightmares.
  • 3 followed is probably too many. The second one can be pretty bad.
  • Emyn Arnen Ranger is usually powerful enough only at the end of the game so 1 mablung + 2 emyn seem good to me.
  • Sword that was broken really help me a lot with the boost, it could be even better with the leadership sphere if steward is in Aragorn
  • Armored destrier was really really good
  • and gondorian shield wasn't bad, since it give +2 on the hero who keep steward and be used twice per round with armored destrier

Merci pour ce deck, je galère à faire un bon deck Dunedain, et mes decks pièges sont rarement efficaces en solo. Je te le pique !

@Vincentluc14Fais-toi plaisir ;). Ca reste un de mes moins bons decks solos, mais c'est le mieux que j'ai réussi à faire sur le sujet et il passe quand même plein de scénarios. Ma liste la plus à jour est ici: ringsdb.com
