Next in line for a single hero deck is Rossiel with her abilities all focussed on the Victory display. But since she is the only hero in the deck, secrecy is way easier to maintain and you can therefore stock that Victory display with all kinds of cards to boost her stats. This also makes events like Keen as Lances easier to get going. That card is particularly good in this deck since you'll need either the resources, cards or the treat reduction.

The mainstream Victory events are included to make it easier for this deck to remove any nasty cards in the encounter deck. Scout Ahead can also help to achieve this before it goes to the victory display itself. Further included cards are mostly tied in with Secrecy, Silvan or Victory synergies.

To get your resources going, you'll again need as many Resourcefuls as humanly (elvenly??) possible. This will help you to pay for the slightly more expensive cards as the game progresses. To help get out your more expensive allies, The Tree People is included to get cards like Haldir of Lórien on the table for perhaps the cost of a Henamarth Riversong after he has checked the top card of the encounter deck. Additionally, Leaf Brooch is a card that I haven't used for most of my solo hero decks but is worth including in this one because the many events that aren't free, even whilst in secrecy. With 23 events, you should be able to play all events for free (except Keen as Lances while the encounter deck is still empty) as long as it is the first event you play each round.

To make Rossiel defend some more, I added Cloak of Lórien and A Burning Brand to make her defend ideally for 6 while discarding all shadow cards.

Readying effects are limited but Lembas supplies with a little bit of it. Card draw acceleration is included with Daeron's Runes and Deep Knowledge as they basically replace themself making it likely that you come across many of the events in this deck. The Doomed from Deep Knowledge can possibly be helped with Needful to Know to lower your threat a bit. Try to scry first for optimal effect.

To help Rossiel in the attacking and questing phase, some allies are included, mostly Silvans to make The Tree People go off hopefully as many times as possible. Quickbeam is included to help attacking, Galadhrim Minstrel can help draw you even more events.

All in all I enjoyed making this deck to fill the victory display with cards and denying them screentime in my games. Which Hero should be next?

What's the difference between this version and 1.0?

I took out the Hidden Cache and replaced it with some card draw in the form of Deep Knowledge.

How is Rossiel going to defend with 6? Cloak of Lórien is limited to "1 per character"!

@pirinisz thabk you for the question. Her ability grants her a +2 when defending against an enemy that shares a trait with an enemy in the victory display. It takes some set up, but combined with 1 Cloak of Lórien she will be able to defend for 6 against some of the enemies.

Right, thanks for the quick respond. This is a really interesting deck and I plan to test it on my own!
