Here is V3.0 as promised of the new Lanwyn hero. I have made a few adjustments to make the sphere easier to access.

The hero line-up was quite easy as I wanted to have mostly Scouts in this deck. I wanted to focus the deck on Lanwyn as she is Brandnew to the card pool. She is predominantly used as a quester while hoping to also ready via her ability every once in a while to make use of her Ranged alongside Haldir of Lórien. If she isn't ready, you can always use items like Lembas to ready her if the need is dire. She is worth it to keep her in the quest as you can get a solid chunk of out of her is certain quests with a lot of surge. To prevent nasty treacheries still getting their effect off after they surge, A Test of Will is included to help the deck cancel those.

Idraen was included because you can't make a Scout deck without her. She has an in sphere match with Lanwyn which lets this deck pump out a lot of solid questing characters early. In this deck she should ready a lot since there are a lot of cards in the deck that can shift progress tokens around. Since there is no limit to the amount of times you can ready Idraen, I chose her to fill the defending role in this deck. She can get Sentinel with Arwen Undómiel's ability, she is of true Blood to help her defend for some more and when the Song of Wisdom hits the table, you can slap A Burning Brand to her so she can defend most attacks on the board while negating any shadow effects. If by any chance she is still ready after the defence round, her 3 can be put to good use.

Haldir of Lórien ended up to be the last hero added, giving the deck access to and provided beneficial cards such as Expert Trackers, A Burning Brand and a couple of allies who can easily take care of locations. Light of Valinor on him provides some more whilst keeping Haldir of Lórien ready. If you can't find the light fast enough, Wingfoot can help to ready him sooner. Henamarth Riversong can make sure that Wingfoot hits all the time, while also looking for any surge cards. His 3 and Ranged is what you end up using him for. It is also possible to exhaust him for Expert Trackers to ready Idraen another time.

Allies included are mostly to place progress tokens on locations in the staging area which in turn would ready Idraen. Surprisingly, some Dale cards also made the list which means that the trait is slowly coming to fruition. Other allies can help in questing some more and make sure that the questing phase goes off without a hitch.

Some threat reduction was included because I found that 29 starting threat was a bit on the high end of the threatmeter.

Silvan synergy was included to make The Tree People get your more expensive Lórien Guides out quicker. Henamarth Riversong would be a good target to retrieve when he has used his ability before the questing phase for Wingfoot. Some healing was also included as the heroes aren't really designed for the combat phase.
