This deck is specifically setup with HON in mind. It's setup to engage enemies who may be sitting in the staging area or harassing our playing partners who have more important things to do like healing Grimbeorn the Old. The deck also employs various readying effects to keep the Beorning busy.

Éowyn is an important piece to this deck as she will provide her +10 attack strength on Turn 1 during the battle questing phase of the first two HON scenarios which have 2 downright nasty active locations that should be cleared ASAP. Her will power will come in handy later in every scenario.

Grimbeorn the Old provides the bulk of the defense and offense - at least initially. There are various events that require a weapon to exhaust so I would recommend using your mulligan to get a weapon into his hands as quickly as you can. A weapon along with a copy of The Eagles Are Coming! would be a great Turn 1 hand.

Mablung provides some much needed resource generation and his stats make him a great hero for the regular, battle, and siege questing we'll see.

Thalin Is a sideboard option for scenario 2 of HON - Into Ithilien. While testing this deck the combination of Forest Bat + Lost Companion was devastating and Thalin solves that problem very nicely. However, his presence means Mablung will likely have to go which means we lose his resource generation ability plus the use of Proud Hunters. That double whammy will prove difficult to overcome. Too difficult? I don't think so but ideas on how to tweak the deck with Thalin in it would be appreciated.

The rest of the cards are pretty straight forward but I do want to make special mention of Winged Guardian. That +4 defending stat is huge for siege questing and I'd recommend keeping a copy of this card in your back pocket for whenever siege questing comes up. Defender of Rammas is another card you might want to add somewhere as well. Those two allies are way more valuable as questors rather than defenders in HON.
