First deck. Not playtested.

I'd recommend to add a 3rd copy of Gandalf. The combo with Sneak Attack is one of the best things you can do with cards from the core-set.

To find the space in your deck, you might want to drop 1 copy of Celebrian's Stone, Gleowine or Henamarth (quite redundant with Denethor on the table), as they are all unique.

Thanks for the feedback. After playing through passage through Mirkwood last night, I completely agree. I drew sneak attack twice and never Gandalf. I'll cut Henamarth, as I didn't even want to add that card in the first place. It was just filler to get me to 50 and to cheapen my resource curve.

@Taurelin, what do you think it's worth cutting two other cards to get Radagast's Cunning and Secret Paths to 3 copies? Maybe 1 Ever Vigilant and 1 Gleowine?

To be honest, I don't think that Radagast's Cunning and Secret Paths are good enough to put them in a deck at all. Their effect is only temporary and hardly relevant in those quests that you want to play with core-set cards. Cheap allies or the full set of Faramir are universally stronger, imho.

In your deck, if I had to change things, I think I'd go for more card-draw (+1 Lorien's Wealth and/ or Valiant Sacrifice), maybe even use Beravor instead of Glorfindel.

For Journey along the Anduin, you might also consider Son of Arnor. It has a nice synergy with Forest Snare. You can engage an enemy (i.e. the Hill Troll) in the planning phase and trap him before he ever attacks.
