Mr. Underhill 4161
I built this deck for the COTR Elfhelm and the Mounts fellowship. The goal of this deck is to turn Éomer into a 10 attack murder machine with the following formula:
Éomer + Firefoot + Elfhelm + Gúthwinë + Bofur / Westfold Outrider = Ownage.
Chad was also kind enough to pass me 2x Dúnedain Mark, so I had Eomer attacking for 12 by the end of our game.
Strategy
The majority of cards in the deck are here to get Eomer up and running reliably.
-
Arwen Undómiel can quest for 4 with Steed of Imladris. Combining her with Elven-light and Steward of Gondor provides plenty of card draw and generates 4 resources a round. This is enough to put Bofur into play repeatedly.
-
Halbarad is here because he allows you to optionally engage two enemies to get the most out of Firefoot. I give him Steed of the North so that he can quest and ready (if not engaged with an enemy), and then defend for 3 thanks to Elfhelm. The fact that he is a Dunedain allows us to run Heirs of Earendil too.
-
Mulligan for either Elven-light or Steward of Gondor, then grab the missing piece with Gather Information (BGamerJoe's first side quest with Thurindir).
- You'll probably need help from the other decks to defend enemies, but don't be afraid to chump block with wimpy allies since this helps to power up Éomer.
The deck has a lot of fun combos which you can see in the YouTube video:
-
Use Westfold Outrider to engage enemies in the quest phase or combat phase to trigger Eomer's attack boost.
-
Bofur or a good old Sneak Attack + Gandalf can also boost Eomer.
-
Use Gúthwinë to pull the Westfold Outrider or other cheap chump blockers back from the discard pile. You can also discard an ally to Arwen / Steed in the early game and then grab it back later.
-
Another nice recursion combo is Grimbold to cancel an attack, and then Gúthwinë to get him back.
- The final (and best!) combo is to engage two enemies with Halbarad, then Quick Strike with Eomer + Firefoot. You can kill a weaker enemy and trample the second one with Firefoot. We killed a Hill Troll in one hit with this :D
Thanks for reading and watching our game!
Have you thought about using Armored Destrier on Halbarad? That way you can have him defend against the two enemies he let's you engage. You could still include a copy of Steed of the North to ready him when you aren't already engaged with an enemy.
