Over on Instagram @swordandboardgames started the #solosundaychallenge where people post weekly solo gaming 'challenges' and people share their experiences of playing it.
I was 'hosting' the challenge for 6th March 2022 and to celebrate the recent release of the Revised Core set I choose LOTR LCG and the core's 2nd quest Journey Along the Anduin.
I built this deck to be paired with https://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/26065/solosundaychallenge-monotacticstrollhunting-1.0
I deliberately wanted to build 'weird' decks and that forced me into a different playstyle. I'm still playing 'progression' (with cards unlocked from the first 2 cycles and 2 hobbit saga boxes) but I did use a couple of cards here and there from later sets.
I knew I needed to keep my threat low and to have some decent questing and control, to complement the more one dimensional Ranged Tactics deck I had paired this with. So Pippin came in, helped delay engagements and gives a little bonus for engaging enemies too. 23 starting threat gives plenty of time to set up before the Troll becomes a problem.
The deck ended up being a fairly standard Lore & Spirit support deck. Controlling the quest with Test of Will, Secret Paths and Radagast's Cunning. Helping in the combat phase with Hasty Stroke and Stand and Fight. Warden of Healing to keep people alive. Denethor and Henamarth scrying the encounter deck. Pippin, Eowyn and allies like Arwen and Escort from Edoras questing. And the deck can stop the Trolls and other big bads with Forest Snares too.
