My current best deck, and as close as I'll get to a One Deck, for now.

Strategy is simple enough, get Vilya out ASAP, use Wizard Pipe to put expensive allies like Boromir, Beorn, or Landroval for free, then use Narya for maximum value on your allies.

I find that, in most cases, Elrond gets the first Unexpected Courage, and Gandalf gets the second one that you draw.

Main defenders are Defender of Rammas, Beorn, and Boromir, with Elrond as a good last resort, especially with A Burning Brand. Narya is just icing on the cake for defense, as well as Arwen Undómiel.

This deck defeated all of The Hobbit saga adventures, changing out The One Ring and it's event cards with x2 Veteran of Nanduhirion and x1 Galadriel.

Thank you for reading. May the cards be ever in your favor.

I don't play singlehanded but it seems to be a beautiful fonctionning deck with 4 spheres ! Waow, I'm impressed, havind difficulties to make two-spheres decks function correctly... Does it win on battle/siege adventures like in the against the shadow cycle ?

@Malfaireit has defeated the entire Hobbit Saga, which has BoFA, but I haven't tested it against everything, so it may be out of it's depth in some of the siege quests. Glad you like the deck!

Cool, looks powerful. Might I suggest Shadowfax? Extra readying is always appreciated.

@TruckI'm glad you like it!

Yes, Shadowfax would definitely be a good card to put into this deck. I'd drop Northern Tracker or Son of Arnor for it. Other options could be drop the One Ring and it's cards entirely for Shadowfax and Will of the West.

This deck was published before I had Shadowfax, which is why it's in the sideboard, not the deck.
