This deck is not creative at all, it is a crowdsourced Noldor deck.

My procedure was as follows -- I analyzed To the Sea, to the Sea! decks to see what the most likely hero lineup would be. After settling on Erestor/Arwen Undómiel/Círdan the Shipwright, I then looked at 24 decks using that lineup from different creators to see which cards were used the most, and what the median ally/attchment/event count was. You can see the raw information here:

To turn that information into a deck, I then used the median count to apportion card slots to the most popular choices in each category, trying to use the most popular count for each until I ran out of space (I did lower the count at the end of the ally list so I could fit cards with same approximate selection). I also limited the cards to a single core set.

The end result should be a stereotypical Noldor Deck -- one that only includes cards that others have used the most (by percentage, not raw count) in their own Noldor decks. If you want the typical Noldor experience, this may be a good fit -- and if it's not, don't blame me, blame the committee!

Strategy is pretty straightforward -- with Erestor, you use it or lose it. Put A Burning Brand on Gildor Inglorion if you can, he's your best lore defender (especially if readied by Narya), if not put that and Protector of Lórien on Erestor. Mulligan for To the Sea, to the Sea! so that you can start discounting allies ASAP, and use Silver Harp to retain A Test of Will. If you actually run out of cards and copies of Will of the West, just play Lords of the Eldar every turn. Light of Valinor goes on Cirdan so he can both quest and ready allies with his ring.
