After seeing @Seastan’s game-breaking combo, I think I figured one out as well. This deck works 100% of the time — problem being, of course, that your win condition is to pile up bad cards on your board, use objectively negative attachments on your friends, and then kamikaze your heroes ASAP. You have essentially 2 options:

1) Burn it all to the ground: Discard all your heroes during the first Resource phase, throw up the deuces, and leave your friends to their fate. Negative points if Boromir actually deals any damage.

2) Keep up the ruse: See how many turns you can convince your friends that you have a crazy amount of combo-tastic nonsense before promptly discarding all your heroes. The sideboard is there to conceivably try to disguise the dead giveaway of Caldara, but props if you can get it done anyway.

Note: My personal favorite thing that this deck could conceivably pull off, if it used any good cards, is Defender of the West on someone else’s really boss ally, then promptly play Follow Me!, get that ally killed, then discard your heroes.

Best. Deck. Ever.

Should have a few more Doomed cards to set things on fire before you leave!

Totally should bring this to the next Fellowship event :D

@foobarI really did consider that. But I ultimately came to the conclusion that playing no good cards was way more taxing on my teammates at the table. The Doomed cards at least give them cards and resources as a bit of a lifeline.

In short, I want no doubt that they’re gonna get boned :P

Understandable. Those might still be of interest:

@foobar, I kinda love the idea of playing The Seeing-stone and acting like you took all the Doomed cards out of your deck by accident.

Using The Seeing-stone to grab another The Seeing-stone is a classic grief move.

I would get rid of all those leadership cards. Useless cards are only good if you can actually cause mischief with them, not just clot your own hand.

What about some Dunedain Pathfinder? That way you can fill up the staging area a little bit before your departure. Out of the Wild might also be an option to ged rid of some harmless cards from the encounter deck.

One copy of Keeping Count - nice.

@Denison, glad you liked that little nod haha. The idea kinda started with that and Filli (with no way to play him) and no Killi along with all the heroes you can discard on demand.

If you really want to cause grief to your friends you should get some nice unique cards like Steward of Gondor out and repeatedly forget to use them then discard your heroes after they've discarded their copies.

Oh man just so many combos in this deck. Eg:

  1. Play Gandalf's Search for like 5 or 6 to make sure there is a Brok Ironfist on top of your deck
  2. Sweet talk another player into giving you a hero with their Desperate Alliance
  3. Play Taking Initiative
  4. Drown in pure value

Dark Knowledge could help your friends. I think that’s a problem.

May 05, 2018 tigormiti 901

How about Westfold Horse-Breaker ? Could ready a hero before he/she gets discarded.

Turn one win . . . for Sauron!

May 07, 2018 eldub 687

`@tigormiti, this could be a problem. I just hate that card haha.

May 07, 2018 eldub 687

@Aurion, I can’t help but think of having a ton of cards that are super terrible and also, quite literally, unplayable. I imagine nuking my heroes and fanning out multiple copies of garbage cards while laughing maniacally
