There is a six card combo in the game that allows you to never raise your threat, draw two additional cards each round, and deal one damage to each enemy engaged with a player every single turn. The combo cards are Háma, Théodred, O Lórien!, Elven-light, Pursuing the Enemy, and Galadriel's Handmaiden. Here is how it works.
Hama and Theodred are in play as your two principal heroes, with Arwen helping out in the background and providing access to Spirit. During planning, you will exhaust O Lórien! to reduce the cost of Galadriel's Handmaiden by one. You will then play her and reduce your threat by one. You will also discard the Elven-light in your hand to Arwen to give her a resource, then pull it back with the resource you got to draw a card.
During the quest phase, you will quest with Arwen, Theodred, and the Handmaiden. Theodred's resource will go on Arwen.
During the encounter phase, get an enemy engaged with you if you don't have one currently engaged. If you do, try not to engage any other enemies. One is the magic number.
During combat, play down a Pursuing the Enemy and deal one damage to all enemies engaged with, say, the Dunedain deck across the table. Choose to return the Handmaiden to your hand.
Defend with Beregond because you will force your partner to defend for you. If you feel bad about doing that, defend with Defender of Rammas with Raiment of War attached.
Attack with Hama, returning Pursuing the Enemy to your hand and discarding Elven-light. Pull back the Elven-light with the resource Arwen got from Theodred earlier in the round.
Rinse and repeat. As much as you want. Your threat will never go up conventionally because you are playing the Handmaiden every turn, and you will never run out of resources because Arwen will get her normal resource and one from Theodred, so she can pay for both the reduced cost Handmaiden and Elven-light. You could scrap O Lorien! and Theodred for Steward but it's nice to let someone else have it for a change.
Any part of the deck not devoted to the combo is devoted to finding it. There is lots of card draw in the deck, including Valiant Sacrifice, which can be played when the Handmaiden returns to hand. There's also some copies of Legacy of Númenor for an early game resource boost. You can put your threat back down with Elrond's Counsel.
Enjoy the deck!

Jul 22, 2016Galadriel, now that's an idea. I think that the main benefit that the jank gives you is that it doesn't require any exhaustion of a hero and can therefore be run independently of Galadriel, giving another player access to her. If you want to (and I might do this in a version 2) you can sub in Galadriel for Arwen and basically have your threat consistently go down. The extra-janky potentential of having a second deck with the new Spirit Beregond (even more consistent threat reduction!) along with Defender of the Naith, Celeborn, and some other Silvans is one I might have to try out. |
Ha, that is quite the jank to accomplish something that hero Galadriel can do by herself :P Is Theodred even necessary in this deck? I feel like you could swap him for Celeborn and throw in a few more Silvan cards and it would be a decent non-traditional Silvan deck that also keeps your threat low. Defenders of the Naith with Raiment of War would be really strong if you are recycling Pursuing the Enemy every turn.
