I've had this deck for a while, but never got around to doing a deck analysis on it, so here we are!

This has been one of my favorite decks to play recently because of how efficient I found it to be in multiplayer. Given the hero lineup and allies, it's obvious that this deck is not meant for questing, but that's okay! It's great for killing things and helping other players with their enemies.

Thalin is along for the ride for his direct damage ability when questing, and he pairs nicely with the other direct damage cards in the deck such as Gondorian Spearman, Goblin-cleaver, and Spear of the Citadel.

I shouldn't have to talk about how awesome Grimbeorn the Old is given his popularity, so his role is simple: grab at least one Rohan Warhorse and maybe a Spear of the Citadel, and wail on the enemies when declared as a defender. Beorn's Rage can help modify enemy stats and Raiment of War can easily be swapped with Rohan Warhorse if you feel like he needs the attack and defense boost.

All of the other goodies go on Haldir of Lórien to make him a (mostly) unstoppable sniper when the opportunity arises. Play the first 2 Bow of the Galadhrims and/or Rivendell Blades to get the most of his Silvan trait, and you can also stack Rivendell Bow on him since it's not restricted. Lastly, you can toss Black Arrow on him to shoot those boss-like enemies. Since Haldir of Lórien likes to gear up before starting a hunt, he'll usually have at least one weapon attached where you can deal damage to an enemy using Goblin-cleaver or benefit from your foe's demise with card draw from Foe-hammer.

Along with being awesome at combat, this deck also has several medics that are useful in combat-heavy quests. Since we have Haldir of Lórien and his nifty Silvan trait, we can put Lembas on Grimbeorn the Old in case he gets damage, or on Haldir of Lórien so that he can ready for another attack. Other typical healers are Warden of Healing and Ioreth, which both make sure that Haldir of Lórien's resources don't go to waste.
