Big Four 1.0

Four heroes and only 27 starting threat! I really like this contract...

This deck is some kind of an allrounder:

Mulligan for Light of Valinor. Attach this and Asfaloth to Glorfindel. Being an excellent quester and attacker, he can also take some archery-damage or an undefended attack with his big pool of hitpoints. If he‘s riding his horse, you even have location-control.

Thranduil is your primary defender and gets a Cloak of Lórien (the other copy can be attached to a Defender of the Naith or a Greenwood Defender), a Round Shield and The Elvenking attached to him. Thanks to his ability, you can play the ally you need the most in your situation (or simply didn’t have enough matching resources for) every combat phase.

Bifur and Éowyn are your main questers, though Éowyn can use her ability and kill a really nasty enemy (or battle-quest for one round). But with Glorfindel and many other attackers in the deck I often find myself not even needing it.

With Defender of the Naith being ˋsentinel´and many characters being ˋranged´, you can help your friends in combat when playing multiplayer. Raiment of War can be attached to any warrior-character of the deck, but I like it most on Defender of the Naith.

Resourceful can be attached to any hero of this deck, thanks to Thranduil‘s resource smoothing ability and A Good Harvest in the deck. Resourceful could easily be replaced with Host of Galadhrim.

Island Amid Perils, Galadriel's Handmaiden and maybe Gandalf are there for threat-control.

A Test of Will and Quicker Than Sight might cancel the worst treachery cards and deadliest shadow effects.

For card draw you have Gandalf, Steward of Orthanc, Legolas, Galadhrim Minstrel and (kind of) The Tree People.

If you need healing, consider using Daughter of the Nimrodel instead of for example Henamarth Riversong.
