This is a decent all round deck. It Quests, Defends, Attacks and Heals so works reasonably well solo. Pairs best with a deck that can bring some cancellation to the table. Maybe an Éowyn deck as this deck has some spare uniques dotting around.

Mulligan for Steward of Gondor. Put on Elrond who can pay for all allies

Faramir's resources can be sucked up by Bifur as he cannot pay for anything other than Sneak Attack once Steward of Gondor and King Under the Mountain are in play.

Faramir readies the ents and Elrond helps with the healing

If you wish to play with Hero Treebeard to make full use of Elrond's healing and enable Entmoot out of the gate then swap him for Bifur and...

Remove 3 x King Under the Mountain 3 x Treebeard

Add 3 x Errand-rider (Ferry Faramir's resources to Elrond) 1 x Quickbeam 1 x Skinbark 1 x Beechbone

....beware your starting threat skyrockets to 37.

You can change out the We Are Not Idle's for Self Preservation's if you want to, however, leaving them in thins the deck (Even if they don't produce a resource without Bifur). Elrond/Wellinghall Preserver/Warden of Healing have the healing pretty much sewn up already.

I'm going to have to try this. I wish Faramir wasn't so I'll matched with Ents resource needs. Bifur is a nice solution.

Best of luck! Let me know how you find it :)

I would include at least 1 more copy of Quickbeam and maybe even of Skinbark. Maybe swap them out for the Spikes.

But Overall a fantastic Ent deck with a great choice of Heroes!

Thanks for the feedback! I think i personally prefer the spikes to help slow the encounter deck down early on before the Ents have had a chance to get established (Also i tend to cut down copies of unimportant uniques) but the sideboard is there if you prefer it another way :)

The only real thing i felt i was sacrificing with this deck was Boomed and Trumpeted as I had no sphere match to play it and Song of Battle was over committing deck space for the combo even if Entmoot can grab it :(

Ally Treebeard can pay for Boomed and Trumpeted since it's an Ent card.

lol, i completely overlooked that! In my head I made Ally Treebeard's resources for Ent allys which is completely not what it says!

Ok might have to do a deck revision but I do quite like the balance as is...Hmmm. Might have to try out a few things. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! :)
