This deck is all about taking all the threat gained by everyone during the game and reducing it to nothing. The engine relies on getting the pipes (mulligan for pipes/Bilbo!!) on all the hobbits, and love of tales for some resource acceleration. Then each turn you can play a threat reduction to draw 3 cards and once you get Song of Eärendil out you can start taking everyones threat for them.
Merry is the ideal person to stack the extra songs on to get a big benefit from Fireside Song. Friend of Friends should go on Frodo and Merry. 2 of the fast hitches should go on Merry so you can Quest, use his ability, and then attack for 2 (from Friend of Friends bonus). Frodo gets the other fast hitch to be able to quest then block/attack.
You can take 2 attacks with Frodo blocking for 4 (friend of Friends + Arwen) and then 1 undefended and raise your threat with his ability. You can kill small enemies with Sam, Merry, and the Gaffer/Pippin if needed.
Ideally this deck is played with other than can help with the enemies with big defense since you can't muster a bunch of attack power in a single turn. This deck is also weak against quests that do a bunch of Archery or has treacheries that do damage across the board.
Overall I had low expectations when I first played this deck but then engine got rolling and it was an absolute blast! I was sucking up my entire 4p games threat from all card including doomed and would still end the game in secrecy.
Have a blast and let me know what you think!

Oct 06, 2019Nice deck! Wouldn't Peace, and Thought be better than Master of the Forge here ? |

It's an interesting thought about Peace, and Thought but depending on the situation I think you need the fast hitches to make sure you can still quest/have defenders/use Merry's ability, etc. I'll try to test it today and report back on how well it works! Thanks for the suggestion! |
Oct 07, 2019IDK, this could be good, but these vaping hobbits didn't save us from the Nightmare Wargs of Eriador. They must have been attracted to the LEDs |
Oct 07, 2019Peace and Thought is always better. ;-) |
Oct 08, 2019Nice list, Splice! I think I'll have to wait until the Fellowship event to have 4 players to team up with, but I'm looking forward to leaning hard support. |
Oct 08, 2019I played Dale across from this list for a 4 player game of Nightmare Across the Ettenmoors. I only raised my threat by 3 points the entire game. AND these hobbits ended the game with 0 threat! It was kind of nuts. |
Oct 08, 2019I had a similar experience, played across the table from this deck a few times and after a few rounds you just... stop touching your threat dial. We could engage the high threat enemies at our leisure! Makes a really fun partner deck. |
Oct 08, 2019Watching this deck in action is very calming. 10/10 would ride hobbit coat tails again. |
Jan 12, 2020Hah, yea I was that someone ;). This desk is super fun. I swapped out ringsdb.com for ringsdb.com and much prefer the former. I’m not playing the deck with an appropriately built complementary one, though. |

Jan 12, 2020Who do you generally put Love of Tales on? Do you wait until you have Song of Wisdom and play it on Merry? |
