Gondorian Valour 1.0

• 1.0

The Valour archtype is one that I havent seen utilized very often. This could be in part to its combat-centric orientation. Many valour cards fit very well into a deck dedicated to combat, but are less useful in a do-it-all solo deck. With this in mind, here is my attempt at a truly solo compatable valour deck. As usual in combat decks, questing is the biggest weakness. However, with multiple Knights of Dale or Veterans of Osgiliath, along with Faramir, this deck can easily put out 12 to 18 willpower per round. Another weakness is card draw. With all the resources being generated, your hand can sometimes be depleted quickly. Now I have Legolas in the sideboard because I dont currently own him, but ive found that the deck functions just fine without him. Always use Gandalf for card draw, and supplement that with Valiant Sacrifice and Rod of the Steward. In addition, many of the allies and events are high cost, leaving fewer wasted resources. The key is to get one of the two doomed events in your opening hand. This will give you enough resources to play either Knight of Dale or Farimir turn one, as well as even a Giant Bear using Hirgon. Because the deck starts with relatively low threat, you may be able to play multiple doomed events. Sneak attack is very good with Gandalf of course. Again, use his ability for card draw. All in all, this deck is not a super power, but its fun amd a little different, amd can handle most standard quests.
