Elessar010 542

Elessar010 has a newer deck inspired by this one: Elessar, Undimmed

I recently finally obtained Strider and wanted to take it for a spin.

It plays all of Aragorn's artifacts to get him towered up. Arwen is here for access to main Spirit stuff and to boost resources for Aragorn. He can play Steward of Gondor and a Celebrían's Stone or etc. turn one with her giving him that 2nd resource.

All stacked, he'll be questing without exhausting for 7 and Arwen can quest for 4 without exhausting if you get Light of Valinor.

Treebeard is here for a solid defender, and Galadriel's Handmaiden for at least one more questing character, but I've played it mostly without her included. Galadriel is instrumental in getting more attachments into play, and can quest for 4 for the turn she's in play. She also can soak some direct damage, good for a turn of Archery since she goes away anyway.

Roheryn with some of the attack boosting attachments allows Aragorn to kill wimpy enemies that show up, and then you can focus on the stronger ones while keeping the number of attacks to a minimum.

Opening hand I have always taken a Mulligan for Steward, and Strider.

I've tested a lot against Journey Along the Anduin and Escape from Umbar, but I'm still thinking of quests to go up against. I've done that solo, by the way. Other than Steward and Arwen, you could also get away with this in multiplayer, I bet, also.

UPDATE: I've definitely opted to include 2 Gondorian Fire and remove the two Daggers of Westernesse. Also, I'm experimenting with 2 copies of Blood of Númenor as well. I am not sure how to update the published decklist to reflect those changes.

Awesome deck! Heir of Mardil would synergize perfectly here. Roheryn and Steward of Gondor might also make Gondorian Fire worth the card slot.

@Wandalf the Gizzardooo good call. I will add them to my sideboard and work on swapping them in for some other cards and see what works out. Gondorian Fire could make him kill almost anything with Roheryn lol

Tale of Tinúviel is a fun card in this theme.
