This was the deck list I used to complete The Ringmaker Cycle. Closing out Cerebrimbor's Secret and The Antered Crown.

Most of the allies are for favour with the Bilbo Baggins, Galadriel, Imaldris Stargazer, Master of the Forge and Gildor Inglorian all assisting to dig for the key pieces of the deck. I continue to enjoy the use of Envoy of Pelargir in this cycle but hope to move away from her as I enter The Lost Realm.

This is just another take on the common Elrond Vilya decks that arose since cycle 2 of the game. I must admit I find it interesting that this powerful combination has yet to be disrupted but I definitely enjoyed the additional wrinkle of what Gandalf brings to the table.

As my first time messing around with him the sheer amount of flexibility and combination potential with different cards to manipulate the top card of the player deck is a rather special experience. I really like his staff and pipe and appreciate that many of the allies included can help find them faster. I also enjoyed using cards like The White Council to give emergency ready potential as I dug for my 3 copies of unexpected courage.

Daeron's Runes is my favourite card draw when running so many duplicate copies of unique cards. In the future I hope to find alternative solutions and enjoyed how consistent expert treasure-hunter was in practice.

The Ringmaker cycle was fun, I can't wait to go a different direction with deck building with the next cycle of cards now opening up to me (I play progression via cycle rather than via pack).
