Foe-Háma 1.0

• 1.0

This is a fairly straightforward solo deck that gets some willpower and attack down on the board, and uses weapons to buff attacks/defence and work with the associated event cards for card draw and extra damage.

Willpower/Questing - Eowyn is the main player here with her mighty 4. She is supported by Arwen (who also boosts defence), Ethir Swordsman and Galadriel's Handmaiden (who also helps with threat). There is also a copy of Necklace of Girion in there for bonus willpower (and resources). Arod is also in there and can go on any hero for some pseudo-questing. Followed is also in there to help out in this regard. Windfola goes on Eowyn of course for a little extra push.

Combat - Beregond will do the brunt of the defending, with a Gondorian Shield and a Spear of the Citadel (EDIT - nope, Spear can only go on a Tactics Hero so replace it with a copy of Round Shield). Get an Unexpected Courage or two on him and you are good to go. At a push Azain Silverbeard can do a little defending if need be, but Beregond should do most of the work for you, especially if you can get the Mithril Shirt on him - this is surprisingly invaluable as there is no healing in the deck. Attack-wise Hama is your main man. Kit him out with Mighty Prowess, Spear of the Mark and Warrior Sword for enough oomph to see off most enemies. The remaining allies are in place to support Hama. All straightforward enough, just stick the Bows of Yew onto the Warriors of Dale if they show up, or put one on Hama if you're low on weapons. Another Unexpected Courage can go on Hama for multiple attacks. This is all backed up with the events which are all focused around weapons. Foe-Hammer will get you loads of card draw, Goblin-Cleaver will get you bonus damage, Open the Armo(u)ry will fish weapons out for you (as will Bofur), and Swift and Strong will get you extra attack. Use Hama's ability to get back the event cards you want as and when you need them. if you're low on cards then just keep recycling Foe-Hammer.

Resources - Necklace of Girion gets you extra resources, as does Horn of Gondor for if you lose some allies to chumping. Horn can go onto Eowyn to help pay for all those tactics card, but try not to throw too many allies under the bus. A Good Harvest can also be used should you need to get some extra spirit resources out, especially in the early game.

Threat - Galadriel's Handmaiden is the only threat resuction in the deck, but you will get plenty from Beregond as once he is up to 6 defence with some Unexpected Courages on him you will be defending without taking damage left, right and centre.

Sideboard - Grappling Hook will see you through when you need to get some extra willpower. Herugrim is handy on Eowyn for if you need to get some extra attack in. Outmatched is handy for a bit of extra readying, and Sterner than Steel will sort out any nasty shadow effects.

And that's it. All very straightforward. This is by no means a top tier deck, but it should see you through a good number of quests if the cards work in your favour. Have fun!
