Last light's secrecy 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

This is a Secrecy and Encounter's Scrying deck that goes fine solo in several different missions. The starting threat of 19 allows to use Risk Some Light, O Elbereth! Gilthonial! and Out of Sight in the very first round. Mantaining the threat low is easy with Elrond's Counsel, The Galadhrim's Greeting, and Gandalf. For encounter's scrying and control use Out of the Wild Risk Some Light, and Rumour from the Earth (generally it's wise to pay for returning this card when there are no others copies in hand).

A good first hand after setup must come with Light of Valinor and Fast Hitch, or the Master of the Forge. The Secrecy cards are also important ones to have at the first round.

The deck relies on Light of Valinor (on Glorfindel) and Fast Hitch (on Frodo Baggins) in order to consistently quest every round with Bifur. Use Master of the Forge to find these cards. The Escort from Edoras and Northern Tracker can help the heroes to quest. Use The Riddermark's Finest to cope with some nasty revealed locations that demands only two progress tokens.

Frodo Baggins is the main defender, attach more than one Fast Hitch for more defenses every round. Use Arwen Undómiel to improve Frodo's . You can use Master of the Forge for chump-blocking when needed, mainly if there are no more attachments cards to draw.

Attacking isn't the main strength of this deck, so with the threat low maintain the enemies in the staging area until you have sufficient power (with Glorfindel, Haldir of Lórien, Mirkwood Runner, Northern Tracker, and The Riddermark's Finest). If the game make enemies engage you, Out of Sight can be used to avoid attacks. Use the Forest Snare and O Elbereth! Gilthonial! to cope with the big guys.

Finally, use The Long Defeat and Ancient Mathom for card draw. The Master of the Forge helps to bring attachments also.
