Intro: My goal was to build a deck around Aragorn and combing with to get use of great attachments like Sword that was Broken and Celebrían's Stone.

Strength:

• Fantastic quest progress, once I got hold of Sword that was Broken and few allies like Arwen Undómiel or Erestor the gets easily in double digits
• I've intentionally added expensive Leadership cards (Silverlode Archer, Erestor, Sword that was Broken) and was betting on Glóin or Steward of Gondor to increase the resources, it worked well.
• Getting to useful cards was crucial and Daeron's Runes, Erestor or Gandalf with Sneak Attack helped in that greatly. Despite the need to discard cards, I could easily get rid of extra Light of Valinor or Sword that was Broken.

Weakness:

• The deck was struggling mainly with combat. The goblins of Khazad-dum expansion greatly exploited that weakness.

Best Combo/Cards:

• Sword that was Broken & Aragorn
• Light of Valinor & Glorfindel
• Aragorn ability was crucial, some games I would lose without it
• Warden of Healing helped Glóin to get more resources

Medium/Low Cards:

• I've found all the cards very useful

Final thoughts: The Shadows of Mirkwood cycle was easily won, but with the Dwarrowdelf cycle the deck struggled. Despite that it was fun to play.
