Fantasty 2155

This deck is based loosely on a short conversation between Gimli and Éomer, just before they set out to ride for Helm's Deep:

'I will forget my wrath for a while, Éomer son of Éomund,' said Gimli; 'but if ever you chance to see the Lady Galadriel with your eyes, then you shall acknowledge her the fairest of ladies, or our friendship will end.'

'So be it!' said Éomer.

This conversation was a follow-up to the first encounter between Gimli and Éomer, where Éomer paid insult to Lady Galadriel, much to Gimli's dismay:

'Then there is a Lady in the Golden Wood, as old tales tell!' he said. 'Few escape her nets, they say. These are strange days! But if you have her favour, then you also are net-weavers and sorcerers, maybe.'

[...]

'Then Éomer son of Éomund, Third Marshal of Riddermark, let Gimli the Dwarf Glóin's son warn you against foolish words. You speak evil of that which is fair beyond the reach of your thoughts and only little wit can excuse you.'

What if Éomer set out to visit Lothlórien to meet with the Lady Galadriel and see with his own eyes if Gimli spoke true? What if great friendships and alliances were forged between the Riders of Rohan and the Lady as a result?

I thought about this Hero-Lineup too and I really like your interpretation. What would you think about some Healing? I would put in Ioreth or maybe the Warden of Healing. What do you think about a Silverharp to your Mirror?
