Money and Cards, what could go wrong?
This deck was designed to take full advantage of The Grey Wanderer contract. i've seen a lot of decks that take advantage of the resources but not the other abilities. since the contract says choose two, i wanted to make sure i always get the most out of the contract. so i decided i wanted a hero who can exhaust for a good effect so i could get those resources and the ready in the planning phase. I also wanted to make sure i had plenty of card draw, so where did that leave me? With fan favorite lore hero, Beravor! Beravor lets you exhaust her once per round to have any player draw two cards. this lets you get key cards fast and you can really move through your deck with this ability. now that we have our base idea of what the deck will do, lets discuss some tips for playing it.
so the 1 cost attachment you want to put into play is Strider, and the master card you want to get is Inner Strength. Now, after your mulligan if you have Strider in Hand, put inner strength into play and grab the master ring.
Most turns, you want to start by drawing two cards, and then you want to exhaust the contract to ready Beravaor and give her 2 resources. then you want to decide what to play. keep in mind the first non-unique card you play each planning phase doesn't require a resource match. So if you have Daeron's Runes you would want to either play it in the resource phase or after the non lore card you play in the planning phase. Now how do we play Steward of Gondor then? well thats what a good harvest is for. A good harvest is meant for steward but it can be used later to play multiple non lore cards in the planning phase. After that just keep playing cards!
beorning skin changer is here to help quest and be a damage soak initially and then transform into the giant bear to help handle combat. armored destrier is here to defend multiple enemies so your big allies can attack. the soldier of isengard is here as great solo ally who is very versatile. most of the cards here are self explanetory, but you do want to get some willpower down early to help quest and go from there.
anyway, enjoy!
Beravor is definitely a very good candidate for The Grey Wanderer, I really appreciate your idea.
I am not sure how you can play the Armored Destrier on Beravor though. You might play one out-of-sphere card with the contract effect (or A Good Harvest sure, but you still do not satisfy the Leadership or Sentinel condition of the Destrier.
