Nightmare Saga: Five Bold Hobbits & Three Warriors of Rohan

johnleo 97

Description

Though the Hobbit deck requires a ton of setup, it can steam through some incredibly difficult encounters on its own. However, until that setup is done the deck is rather vulnerable - especially to enemies with extremely low engagement cost or who have the capacity to make extra attacks.

Enter: Fastred and Eomer, the Bash Brothers. Slap a sword, spear, or dagger in Eomer's hand and watch him carve up anything in the staging area. Unseen Strike for those who need a lil' extra.

During the encounter phase, have Fastred engage the enemy with lowest engagement cost, bounce it back to the staging area, and repeat.

Both decks are strong at questing and combat, with the Hobbits beging able to pump out huge bursts of either/or, while the Rohirrim & co. provide a steady flow of questing, defense, and attack.

Stats: Shadow of the Past, Nightmare: 1 Attempt (beat it twice in a row to make sure.)

Knife in the Dark, Nightmare: 6 Attempts

Flight to the Ford, Nightmare: 4 Attempts

(Introduce Rohan deck)

The Ring Goes South, Nightmare: 2 Attempts

Boons:

Tireless Ranger on Sam

Old Bogey-Stories

Mr. Underhill

Anduril & Glamdring in Rohan deck

Mithril Shirt & Sting in Hobbit deck

Burdens:

Gandalf's Delay

Panicked!

Thanks! I actually ended up beating the Nightmare Saga with this fellowship. The Hobbit deck barely needed any tweaking at all until the Mt. Doom quest :)
