An attempt at the new Bree archetype. The goal is to get Barliman pumped up on hit points as quickly as possible which is pretty easy with the Ponies, Spare Pipe, Ring of Barahir. Once he is at about 8-10 hit points you are pretty set as you can keep cycling the half-pints, Drawing them them with Nob and he readies himself. Then you just play out various allies to help with what you need, be it more questing or attack.
The fast hitches are in to provide Nob as a card draw engine in-case you don't hit items and still want to use him for questing.
The seasoned forager can be exchanged for Miruvor. You can use Nob's discount to play it for free, give someone a resource and put it on top of your deck. Then you use Nob's ability to draw it back up and ready him (or another bree if you have fast hitch on him, letting you get an attack out of Harry). The down side is you will cut into you ability to cycle the half-pints as much so if you dont need as much healing, this can be a good strategy.
Deep Knowledge can be swapped out with Mithrandir's Advice (or just cut) depending on how the group feels about doomed cards.
Hope you enjoy and if you test it and make any changes let me know what you think! Hoping to build a partner deck to bring it through the Saga.
