Synopsis

Step right up and hear a tale about a group of sea-faring castaways. Climb aboard and head To the Sea, to the Sea! to get out key allies on turn one.

Design

Use the discard mechanics to discount pricey allies via To the Sea and get rid of cards to trigger Galdor's card draw.

Use Galdor to pitch all cards at setup in order to get to To the Sea. If Gandalf is in the opening hand, he might be reserved for a strong turn 1 play.

Typically turn 1 will feature one of the four bigs hitting the table, but on occasion there is enough juice to get two in play if you can get Glorfindel in your discard pile and a 4 cost ally in hand.

The real aim here is consistency and Galdor is just brilliant with the way that he can help craft that all-important starting hand.

Performance

Handled Wastes of Eriador just fine. Did not do well on a handful of other quests. This deck starts off great but it's momentum can stall. The deck really needs cards for the discard so Deep Knowledge is a good addition here, particularly when playing solo. Lords of the Eldar might work here as well with the high number of Noldor allies, but it also might be a win more type of effect.
