This deck is designed for teaching the game to new players. I had five goals in mind:

  1. Include the simple cards, leave out the complex cards with longer text boxes.
  2. Reduce the number of different cards in a deck by including 3x often.
  3. Mono-sphere.
  4. Give the players a clear flavor of what defines that sphere. (Lore has card draw and healing, Leadership has resources, Spirit quests and cancels, Tactics kills everything etc.)
  5. Make it a decent deck.

The only advice I would give the player is to try to get Gondorian Shield and Citadel Plate on Beregond.

I’m open to feedback, let me know how these can be improved for teaching!

i like the deck, but vereran of nanduhirion makes no sense, he's a bad card and the fact he's entering with damage means you have to explain the reasoning behind the mechanic. Add Rumil instead (imo), there's a decent amount of ranged and he can also quest.

Including a couple of Rohan Warhorse could also be worthwile, instead of the Veteran of Nanduhirion you could think of using some Riddermark Knight.

@MadaoMadao thanks for the feedback! I chose Veteran of Nanduhirion initially because he’s a high attack-value dwarf ally with a simple text box (who can use the included Boots from Erebor and Dwarrowdelf Axe). I thought about Rúmil, but I decided against it because it’s a more complex textbox for new players to wrap their head around, which was my primary goal to avoid with this deck. I might instead include Grimbold since his textbox is basically the same as Feint which is included...

@Alonewolf87 Sadly I do not own Riddermark Knight :(. I like Rohan Warhorse as an option, it’s ability starts just like Legolas’ textbox so should be easier to understand. What would you substitute for it?

I would exchange them for 1 Bow of the Galadhrim and 1 Citadel Plate
