My go-to Harad deck 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

Have you thought about maybe having Thalion since you have a few side quests?

That would be a good idea, except I don't own him. :)

Ahh that’s a shame haha

Yeah, but I would put him in if I did own him.

I like how this deck looks though! I've always wanted to make a harad deck but never really got it to work, so i'll try this out :)

Thanks, I haven't ever lost with this deck. The main priority is to get the big allies (Jubayr, Yazan, Firyal) out quick.

If you have multiple core sets, I would either add more threat reduction, because that could turn out to be a problem. And drop Henamarth Riversong because we have enough scrying through Denethor and Firyal.

Yeah when I played a it with it I never really used Henamarth Riversong’s scrying, I found I had more issues with card draw than threat so added it a little more of that to find the big Harad allies faster

Sadly I only have the one core set hahaha

Yeah card draw was a bit of a problem at times, but all my Sneak Attack and Gandalfs were for card draw, so it wasn't terrible. But it could be if you need gandalf for his damage instead of the draw.

Also, I triggered the ability of Steward of Orthanc every time I played an event, because I had lots of threat reduction. And that worked fine as card draw. If you get Steward of Orthancs out quick card draw should be fine. :) Also, can I ask which quests you tried this against?

i played against journey down the anduin since that's what i had set up at the time, so i needed the big allies fast haha, i'll probably give it a go agsinst some others later on

Nice. I was taking the deck through the Harad quests. The ones I have at least. I will probably update this deck once I get the last Harad character, though.

Yeah I added in the Southron Refugee when I tweeked it since that seemed to make sense, thinking about it I forgot to add the Haradrim Spear haha

Yeah, I just ordered the Black Serpent and beneath the sands, so the spear and the refugee are going to be added to my updated harad deck. I'm curious what cards you cut for the refugee.

I think I cut the Steward of Orthanc since I hardly ever used his ability when I actually got him out.

Since you say you used his ability a lot, I'd probably cut the Envoy of Pelargir and maybe one of the Steward of Orthancs, so you still have a couple to use for card draw.

I also switched out We Are Not Idle for Daeron's Runes if you have that, I think that's a better card draw option, and I added in Heed the Dream to help find the allies faster.

Yeah, the Envoy isn't particularly useful, but can provide a little resource smoothing. Yup, Daeron's Runes is really good (I do own it ;) ) it was originally in this deck, but I found that since card draw wasn't great, the discard from Daeron's Runes was something that I couldn't afford at times where I had 3 cards in hand. I don't own Heed the Dream but it's a really good card. Also, I just updated my profile so if you click on my name, you should be able to see the cards I have to work from.

Looks like you have a decent collection, a lot of dwarf cards in some of those if I'm remembering right hahaha

A ton of dwarf cards! I gets a little tiring sometimes. Not that I don't like dwarves or anything, but since it feels like all the cards boost dwarves, it convinces me to go with at least 1 dwarf hero about every time I play.

Yeah I used to play dwarves a lot cause of how good they are, but then I wanted to try out other stuff

Yeah, they're kind of meh.

I managed to beat Journey up the Anduin from the Wilds of Rhovanion for the first time with a the deck I made based on this :D

This is how it ended up looking ringsdb.com

Cool deck

Thanks, the main reason I switched out Éowyn is that I actually wanted less willpower for the particular quest I was doing. Denethor was a life saver for it though, you came up with a really nice hero team for the deck :)

Yeah, no problems whatsoever for this deck (at least against the quests I played it against). Unfortunately, I don't own Arwen Undómiel, but I imagine she would've been just fine here, and would help get the more expensive allies out because of her resource generation.

Yeah her ability helps to get Jubayr out quicker I’ve found, who is the one I usually want to find first.

But she also helps get resources to Kahliel with the Errand-rider.

Yeah that's true, she's one of my favourite heroes. She combos really nicely with Elven-light to give card draw too!

Very true
