My best attempt at a secrecy deck given the card pool. I left out Resourceful by accident in the actual build so this is speculative. Hopefully the abilities of Gandalf, Aragorn, and Elrond's Counsel can keep the threat below 20 while resource and card advantage are accrued. Obviously a turn one Light of Valinor is very important, so I would look for that or Steward of Gondor in a mulligan decision.

This line-up is a good idea. But I think you don't need those leadership-cards, because you have Resourceful. You could also use copys of Ithilien Lookout and Celduin Traveler. When you play solo Henamarth Riversong is great to plan the questingphase. Ioreth could give you cheap healing. With Aragorns ability you can switch to the hobbit Gandalf.

Thanks for the comment -- note this a Progression Series deck (only cards up to FoS) so some of those cards are not yet available. The main reason to play leadership is to include Timely Aid since it is the best available Secrecy card and I'm trying to make it work here.

ahhh you're right! My fault!

Could you inlude more than 15 allies? i guess 15 is not enough to play Timely Aid optimally. As Benedikt said Henamarth Riversong would be great and Arwen Undómiel too. What about Dúnedain Wanderer ?

Yes 18 allies would reduce the failure rate from 15% to 9%, so that seems worth it. The risk is that with just two powerful heroes there is a lot of benefit to getting strong attachments early and having access to cancellation, compared to allies which can be slow and less immediately impactful. It kind of shows the weakness of the secrecy archetype at this point in the card pool. However all three of those allies are good choices, and if I revisit this deck I will boost the ally count. Maybe Ancient Mathom is not necessary.
