I recently had the pleasure of playing the quest "Flight of the Stormcaller" for the first time. I knew it was popular and after playing it I can understand why it is so beloved by the community. One of the things I really like about this quest is that you have a major choice in how to win. You can either race past the Stormcaller, or you can try and sink it. I have only tested this deck solo, but after three wins I find it to be pretty consistent.

This deck's sole purpose is to play 15 allies and sink the stormcaller without ever engaging it using Hail of Stones. I know what you're thinking, "couldn't an Outlands deck easily quest past the Stormcaller and win?". The answer is yes it could, but that's not as fun. You mulligan for Steward of Gondor and Lord of Morthond. Denthor's resources typically go to Hirluin so that he can play out of sphere allies and draw cards. You should take Dawn Star as your ship so that you can draw additional cards. Sneak attack Gandalf for cards in the planning phase is a move worth doing because you really don't need Gandalf's stats. Your deck is 68% allies, so Messenger Raven will be drawing you a card 2/3 times if you name ally. Gildor's resource is often used to draw a card. You will have plenty of characters to commit to sailing test so you should never be off course. Once you get to the third stage you should be very close to having 15 allies out. Obviously you must play Song of Battle at some point. Once you have 18 characters out and Song of battle attached you are ready to throw some rocks. Play Hail of Stones and sink that ship!

would be interesting if that strategy works with carn dum ;) if u test it, tell plz.

would perhaps add strength of arms and use hail of stones twice, then it could be possible with 8 characters.
