Rohan, meet Dúnedain 1.0

I wondered if Silver Lamp would start to show up in more decks now that Armored Destrier is in the card pool. This deck looks really fun!

Nice deck. Dunedain Remedy seems like a great sideboard card, to help with quests that feature a lot of direct damage. Other than that, this seems to have everything covered.

I really like these write ups. They are very helpful when trying out new cards and decks.

Nice deck. I've been playing with Marty and Elfhelm a lot lately and really like them paired with both Eowyn (for the lamp, Snowmane, and Horse-Breeders) and Damrod (for the traps, card draw, and Dark Knowledge). You might also consider adding a Golden Shield so Eowyn can defend for 6+ if you need her to.

I'd add another copy of Snowmane since it is so good and you can always discard the extra. I also like Stand and Fight to allow extra plays of the horse breeders.

You could also add a copy or 3 of Sarn Ford Sentry. They are a great use for Sneak Attack if you don't have (or are bored by) Gandalf. If you include the Stand and Fights, you can also discard them with Eowyn and stand them into play.

Cool idea! But since I've played the game (for about 3 years now), solo decks without Lore or any other means of healing make me nervous. But I'll try this deck for sure!

@teamjimbyThanks for the suggestions. With this deck I actually like UC on Eowyn a lot more than Snowmane, because that way Eowyn can have both Steed of Imladris and Herugrim. Snowmane is here mainly for Elfhelm, so that he can quest then ready and defend with the third destrier. It's nice, but not necessary, hence the 1x. As for the shield, it just compounds the problem of Eowyn's limited restricted slots.

The Sarn Ford Sentries were in an early version of the deck, but I found that to sneak them in over Gandalf you'd want them to give you 4-5 cards, at which point you're already established and probably drawing consistently with Elven-light anyway.

@BeornI can see the Remedy being an amazingly powerful card. You're right that it should definitely be in the sideboard here to shuffle in against certain quests.

Sorry it will sound like a dumb question but which card is Dunedain remedy? is it a spoiled card? thanks Really nice deck by the way :)

@RysonYes it's coming up in the Drowned Ruins: boardgamegeek.com

I took this deck up against the Antlered Crown. The Elven lights and Wardens were on the bottom half of my deck so I really struggled with card draw and questing. I ended up threating out, but I had no trouble with the enemies. The Silver Lamp - Destrier combo works beautifully.

I bear Nightmare Ford's of Isen with this deck. Trying to go through the whole cycle in nightmare: this was my first success.

I tried it against the second and third quests of Flame of the West... but because the deck takes some time to become efficient (and it is a good deck!), it was took too many turns for the second quest and it could not beau the 3rd quest (I ended up twice with 7 or 8 ennemies too early).

@Morgothsfoot Awesome! I am always happy to hear success stories with my decks.

@LecitadinHave you tried being more aggressive and killing some enemies rather than letting them hang around?

It was too late, I got surrounded! ;-)

@Seastan loving this deck. Pretty new to the game but trying lots of decks and so far this is my favorite. Cleared Dwarrowdelf cycle and Nightmare Watcher twice.

It's pretty consistent but struggles in top deck mode because drawing multiple mounts/breeders/heirs isn't great. Looking to put a couple more draw effects in. I agree that Sarn Ford isn't the answer but there are many choices!

Nice build man, I already took apart two others yet this remains and will for a long time I think :)

@ Erestor, was considering Erestor. The deck doesn't struggle for Leadership, he can quest, chump, is another for Elven Light and at worst redunant combo cards.

@Trizzo134Welcome to the game! Glad you like this deck. Erestor ally is a good option for card draw. Another option is Ancient Mathom.

When I play this deck I normally use Sneak attack + Gandalf, and Elven-light + Eowyn/Steed of Imladris for card draw.

Would you consider swapping Arwen Undómiel for Éowyn? Then Snowmane and Herugrim would not work. However, those seems like they are more for fun than power.

@NERD You can try, but I recall relying on Herugrim to take out bigger enemies quite often.

I think that Fair and Perilous would have a similar effect. Plus, the opportunity for Tale of Tinúviel would help with final bosses.

What would you do if you only have all the reprint stuff? I am missing Herugrim, Dunedain Warning, Silver Lamp, and Snowmane.

@rockclimb3r Herugrim and Snowmane will be in The Two Towers box. The only shadow scrying alternative for Silver Lamp is Dark Knowledge. Even if got it played with some resource smoothing then you likely wouldn't see enough shadows to be as efficient with Armored Destrier as Silver Lamp would allow. Hasty Stroke might be the best available replacement for the potential game ending shadow.

Dunedain Warning you can probably replace with Gondorian Shield and/or Captain of Gondor. You won't get as high of total defense, but it should do for many scenarios. When Ered-Mithren gets repackaged some other options will be available.
