The Unloved Misfits 1.0

As the orcs advance, they see three figures crest the top of a hill in the early morning light. At first, they ready their weapons and prepare to fight, when a sinister laugh begins to ripple through the hordes at seeing...

Dori, Glorfindel, and Pippin.

The laughter grows as the "heroes" advance, and just when the jeering is about to start, it fades as large Beornings appear, Outland Swordsmen canter up to one side, and a lone Silvan takes point on a nearby boulder to scout the area.

Maybe they've faced better, more efficient teams, but that doesn't mean this will be a complete pushover.

As the orcs tighten the grips on their spears, Dori asks, "Seriously... is there any reason you 2 shouldn't be using your other counterparts, which are obviously better and give the same spheres?"

"At least we have them," Glorfindel mutters.

Smirking, Pippin replies, "Isn't it obvious?" With confident bravado, he rests his fishing pole on his shoulder. "Because someone has to catch the fish for the Giant Bears."

Playing these heroes, you'll wish you had swapped out for the other Glorfindel and Pippin... and dropped Dori for just about any other hero. However, with strong cards, allies, and luck, you'll have a chance against some quests. And when you win with this team, it feels great... even if it doesn't happen quite as much as you'd like.

With higher threat and not a ton of resources, Elf-stone and Beorning Skin-changer are your friends as you need allies. In a pinch, if Dori has wounds you can't afford to heal and you have beefy allies to attack, Dori can use his ability on Glorfindel, giving him 4-6 . Asfaloth and Henamarth are also key.

Winning with this team has felt both fun and strange, but shows how powerful the card pool has become. (Of course, so have the quests... but let's not tell that to these three.)
