Another deck I built as soon as I got Flight of the Stormcaller. This deck is mostly centered around Círdan, who's using Narya to muster a great force of Noldor elves. The strategy is simple. Light of Valinor and obviosuly Narya go on Círdan. Protector of Lórien, Unexpected Courage and Burning Brand go on Erestor. Now probably the most important attachment to play first round is To the Sea, To the Sea! since thanks to Erestor and Círdan you see 11 cards in your starting hand, which means you'll probably see To the Sea! and one of the big G's (Gildor, Glorfindel, Galdor, Guardian of Rivendell). With 8 cards to discard, it's very easy to play one of these first round for 1, as they're the source of most of the combat capability in the deck. You'll also want to play an attachment or two, such as Light of Valinor or Narya. Also, since you see so many cards, it's likely you'll se both A Good Harvest and Steward of Gondor, or you can even play Steward with Narya, by discarding a card to add 1 resource to Círdan, then play Narya with Erestor and Arwen's resources and you can play Steward on Círdan. Allies like Gildor and Glorfindel and even the Guardian are basically heroes, and with Narya you can get high attack, defense and lots of actions out of them. Drawing 5 cards each round means we'll run out of cards quickly, but by then you should have a considerable force of big hero level allies. And the best thing is that when you do run out, you can play Lords of the Eldar each round or, worst case scenario, start sacrificing Glorfindel to big enemies with his second combat action and play him from your discard over and over. Let me know what you think!

Victory against Wastes of Eriador first try! Took me a while to get set up, I lost To the Sea! to a shadow card and could not play Gildor for a while, but thankfully I had played Steward in the first round. The forced effect on 2B wasn't actually that terrible as I discarded Glorfindel and just played him the next round. In the last battle against the wolves I engaged the Pack Leader, Hunting Pack and Northern Warg (and had to exhaust 3 chracters), nothing to sneeze at. But thanks to the Narya and Glorfindel's ability I killed the pack and the warg, and the next round played Lords of the Eldar, quested for a bunch and easily destroyed the Pack Leader!

Victory against Journey to the Crossroads! This is my first time beating it actually, as I think this is the hardest quest in that box. By the end I had 2 Oliphaunts and one Soldier of Harad engaged with me, for I had to put 2 non-Oliphaunt enemies under the Black Gate due to shadow effects. I had finally travelled to the Crossroads but had to sacrifice Glorfindel and the Caregiver to these monsters. Thankfully, by then I had a decent army of Noldor and was playing Lords of the Eldar every round, so even if I could not replay Glorfindel the last round I still managed to explore the Crossroads thanks to the +1 willpower in everyone. I love how smoothly this deck runs!

Victory against Shelob's Lair first try! My threat was at 48, both Arwen and Erestor poisoned, but I managed to destroy Shelob with Galdor, Glorfindel, Gildor and Guardian of Rivendell!

Oh, and the forced discard effects in that quest mean nothing to this deck!

My boardstate at the end of my first run through Helm's Deep with this deck. I was lucky, but I did lose my Caregiver to Poisoned Counsels and had no way to retrieve him. Not taking this one through the campaign though! Saruman scares Erestor.
