Silvan and Noldor Siege of Annuminas

Description

Four decks aimed at defeating the Siege of Annuminas, mainly built around Silvan and Noldor traits, since our group has two of the Dream-chaser and Ring-maker cycles, but we're a bit light in other areas. Having flopped at Annuminas before, I've tried to include as much location control as possible, given our card-pool - hence Thror's Map and Thrór's Key, along with Legolas, Arod, Asfaloth, Northern Tracker, Woodland Courier, Blade of Gondolin and West Road Traveller. The point of the Traveller, along with the Map and Key, is to allow enough chicanery with locations that we avoid getting locked. We're also including a decent amount of heavy-questing heroes and allies to work through this as well.

Gandalf is present in large quantities, because Big G is amazing for doing basically everything. Sneak Attack Big G is still the equivalent of a wrecking ball, especially if you can use Círdan the Shipwright and Narya to ready him for double the fun each time he appears.

Without running Eleanor, I've included as much cancellation as we have access to, including trying to rig up Elrohir with A Burning Brand courtesy of Song of Wisdom from one of the other decks. I'm hoping that we've got enough Ranged and Sentinel characters around to survive combat, and that Silvan shenanigans with Celeborn will allow for some questing power-turns.

Thoughts and suggestions for improvements welcome. And yes, the larger part of each deck is shamelessly copied from elsewhere, although I've rejigged some of the heroes.
