The minute I opened my copy of Shadow and Flame, I knew I would have to build a deck focused in Elrond and his Ring of Power. Little did I know how powerful he truly is. I just can't wipe that gleeful and impish smile from my face that comes from playing a deck like this.
Mulligan for Imladris Stargazer, Master of the Forge, or Vilya. Eventually you'll get the combo of Stargazer and Vilya going and Steward of Gondor, Light of Valinor, Burning Brand, Unexpected Courage, Warden of Healing, and Asfaloth will fall into line in quick succession.
If that's not enough, you have double duty healing from the Wardens, incredible combat power from Beorn, silly amounts of willpower from Faramir, card draw from Erestor from your excess uniques, and total control from Henamarth.
Enjoy! And please bring back stories of defeat to keep me humble.
Update: beat Attack on Dol Guldur solo with this deck
