Unlikely Ithilien Rush

Description

With careful management this Fellowship can push through Into Ithilien and win and 3 turns (sometimes 4). It's janky, as we like to say, but it's surprisingly reliable. The basic idea is to produce huge with a combo of angry Éowyn, yelling dwarves, cheap Eagles, angry ents and maybe even a traitorous wizard. It's very feasible to quest for 30 on turn one and jump straight to stage 3.

Stage 3 is the hardest to muster the necessary to complete in 1 turn, but Théoden helps out in the willpower department and hopefully Treebeard and Protector of Lórien are able to push the numbers high enough to go straight to stage 4. When you hit stage 4, you'll need some Feints or chumps to defend the enemies that will engage you. You will certainly be Siege questing as your threat will likely be in the 40's already. Go for broke and hopefully you have some Defender of Rammas and/or Winged Guardians to dash past the menacing mumaks! If Treebeard isn't maxed out on damage, he can help out here at the end along with Defender of Lorien.

See the individual decks for more detailed game play. Try it! It's kind of weird but very fun!

Mr Underhill and I collaborated to create this Fellowship.
