This is my first deck on here, and I'm super not experienced at this game, so I'd love some insights. I've only played twice recently, with one loss and one win against the first Scenario (I played a few times using the Core Set a few years back).

My main focus for this deck is to have fun with Legolas's special ability.

My usage of the other two heroes and all of the Leadership stuff is primarily because I had success with them in my previous game and I thought Steward of Gondor would be good to put on Legolas, since he's the only Tactic's hero in the bunch. I'm also planning on putting Unexpected Courage on him.

I've only opened a single Core Box and the Hills of Emyn Muil AP (for the Song of Travel mainly), so that's all the cards I'm using in the set. (I'm hoping to not open any more boxes until I've beat the quests I currently have available, with the possible exclusion of the final Core quest, since I've heard it's pretty much impossible at first.

Any suggestions? Especially suggestions for which 2 cards to cut to bring me down to 50?

I would cut the 2 Silverlode Archer completely to be at 50. Then swap 1 Citadel Plate & 1 Swift Strike for 2 Feint & have that be the baseline for playtesting. I like this build a lot & reminds me of things I tried early into my buying. Do you find the spirit cards easy to access? I didn't want to pull away from what you are trying to do but the single Celebrían's Stone seems hard to find in this build.

I get the songs help but again the amount of spirit seems like it could lead to some cluttered hands. I am not sure how I would redistribute the spirit choices or change them without some info regarding how this build currently plays out.

"Do you find the spirit cards easy to access?"

The one time I played this team, I ended up with both Aragorn and another hero (don't remember which) producing Spirit, and Aragorn had the Steward of Gondor, so Spirit-able resources were quite plentiful. That being said, that was that one play through of it, and as you mentioned, my hand did get a little cluttered, since by the end, I had found all three songs (I gave my first one to Aragorn, since he had the Steward of Gondor, but then ended up also giving him the Celebrian's stone, for the willpower boost, making the song mostly irrelevant).

@SuperLucas I think I would still look into restructuring your spirit cards. I think 2 Northern Tracker & 2 The Riddermark's Finest along with Unexpected Courage would be correct. This hero line up is so much fun.

Have you had the pleasure of having Legolas end up with both Blade of Gondolin & just smash every Orc you come across? It's beautiful.
