Nenya has a newer deck inspired by this one: Wrath of the Noldor

My goal was to build a 100% thematic Noldor deck that was still powerful enough to play solo, while giving a few lesser used cards some much needed love. After relentlessly testing it against Journey Down the Anduin, I can honestly say that it destroys this quest virtually every time.

Although it doesn't initially appear to make good use of the sphere, Foe-hammer with Rivendell Blade is essential for attack and card draw. Further resources are used to pay for Guardian of Rivendell and to aid in questing once you place Song of Hope on Elladan (ideally with Steed of the North).

By using mostly inexpensive cards, coupled with enough opportunities to discard extra unique cards, I am quickly able to play all the cards in my hand. This gives the lowly Eregion Survivor the same stats as a 9 Threat Hero and makes for a truly powerful ally.

Since you start the game with 3 exceptional Heroes, the best set-up hand involves cards that allow you to use your Heroes more than once. Mulligan for Light of Valinor, and/or Steed of the North with Miruvor as an excellent emergency back-up. After these, Imladris Stargazer is your next best friend as she maximizes your draw deck. Use her to prioritize Arwen Undómiel to make Elrohir a truly formidable defender.

If different quests require cards like Hasty Stroke, Revealed in Wrath and/or A Test of Will, Elrond's Counsel can probably give way, but I found that a well-timed Dúnedain Remedy can solve most problems.

For other minor adjustments, Necklace of Girion, Elven Mail, Magic Ring, and Rune-master were tough to leave out to keep the deck at 50 cards. Erestor and Lindir are potential luxury cards that could give way.

Hope you enjoy this deck as much as I do and please feel free to leave comments and constructive criticism.

Good fresh take on a tried and true archetype! This hero lineup would be downright scary with the new Three Hunters contract.

@Wandalf the GizzardThank you! I already made a tiny adjustment to deal with problem enemies in the staging area by adding Bow of Rivendell and Hands Upon the Bow in my 2.0 version, but I am looking forward to trying the Three Hunters contract.
