This is probably the one deck with the most fun slash power value out there. What makes it especially entertaining is the fact that almost every time one draws a card, it is useful. And almost every game feels different and fresh.
The Storm Comes is almost always the choice of a sidequest, then Prepare for Battle as second. With Thurundir’s ability, there is a good chance to have two sidequests at the start of the game. Once the Storm is cleared, and with the great hero lineup it should be right away, allies will show up quickly and strong. The saga quests make this even more fun, having five resources to begin with. Both Éowyn and Glorfindel are great at Quick Strike, or Oath of Eorl once you have someone from Gondor (in which Steward can help). Options for card draw can multiple quickly, starting with Gildor Inglorion (who’s the best Steward candidate with Heed the Dream in mind).
At the first glance, defense seems to be the biggest weakness of this deck, given the fact none of the heroes can defend effectively. But there are many ways to overcome this and it works very well with many sturdy allies. Hold the Line is amazing in this deck, against any big foes, and the bonus for reading often does not have to be applied with many allies readying themselves (Vigilant Dúnadan, Treebeard or Boromir).
