Azain! Azain! 1.0

Just as the title says, this deck is about getting multiple uses out of Azain Silverbeard by triggering Faramir's readying ability when Aragorn pulls over enemies.

In a typical round you setup the following scenario: Enemies come off the encounter deck damaged by Thalin, and their lowered by Aragorn. Aragorn and Azain Silverbeard then destroy the weakened enemy, triggering Azain Silverbeard's response to drop even more damage on another enemy (sharing a trait). The second enemy, now with 3 damage, is pulled over by Aragorn's response, readying Azain Silverbeard for another attack and more direct damage. If you dont draw Azain then Legolas is a nice backup to trigger multiple times.

Defense is handled by Faramir with Gondorian Shield. Card draw from King Under the Mountain on Thalin. Events are about generating resources for the expensive allies and Azain's ability.

Early on the deck needs help with questing, but once you have Sword that was Broken on Aragorn and a few of the 2 allies out it can pull its weight easily and still wreck a lot of enemies. Threat can also be a problem in some scenarios that you might have to adjust for. This is mostly meant for multiplayer but can be played solo if you shore up quest ability earlier in the game.
