Spirit, Tactics, and Lore are so far (Core x3 + Shadows of Mirkwood Cycle + Dwarrowdelf Cycle sets) my favorite spheres to build tri-sphere decks with. Maybe part of it is my peevish desire to not include the seemingly 'most-powerful' leadership sphere resource ramp, but in any case here we are.

The inspiration for this deck came from a desire to further synergize with card draw, fast/consistent resource management and general threat/enemy control. I also just love the built-in Eagle synergy combo when running the full 15 card combo with The Eagles Are Coming and all the non-unique eagles from Shadows of Mirkwood.

Being super light on attachments has it's pros and cons. On the plus side enemies/treacheries that attack your attachments almost don't matter. (The do hurt the Eagles of the Misty Mountains a little). On the downside it basically means you are an ally/swarm deck, but so far it's cruised through the Redhorn Gate, and Road to Rivendell.

You might think only the single copy of Will of the West is pushing fate. But just keep track of how many Dwarven Tomb you have left in your deck and reserve 1 for that. Dwarven Tomb + Stand and Fight also just love Zigil Miner and mean you can pitch basically any allies into your discard without being worried that they are 'lost'. (Any allies except for Radagast of course).

Between Radagast, the Miner, and Good Meal it's hard not to draw into some form of resources acceleration. And once you get out 3-4 solid allies + a Will of the West you are fairly set. The largest gap I've seen so far is that enemy shadow affects can be punishing, so I may try to find room for some Burning Brand's to address that. Brand might seem like a bit of an odd choice. But his 2 willpower is particularly meaningful for this deck as it could feel willpower light without every hero/ally who can able to chip-in. The only other option for Tactics with equal willpower for me at this point would be Gimli, but I'd rather keep the threat down, and Brand has good enough attack so far.

Suggestions welcome. Just please keep in mind I'm still self-limited to Core x3 + Shadows of Mirkwood Cycle + Dwarrowdelf Cycle sets. :)
