The BGamerJoe 4851

This deck was designed to beat The Battle of Carn Dum in a solo setting. It has around a 1/4 win ratio but I did finally get a recorded win on YouTube. The Contract isn't a huge boon, but it does open up some fun options and, most of all, it renders many treacheries and shadow cards harmless. This doesn't make Carn Dum easy, but it is possible!

Check out the 16 minute playthrough here.

Did you consider Hama for this deck even with the errata he could be interesting

@WolfOfWinter That would be fun! For a less demanding quest than Carn Dum… but I’ll try it!

Yes indeed

What's the plan for Behind Strong Walls? Only targets I can see are Defender of Rammas or Defender of Cair Andros? Seems unlikely to be useful, unless I'm missing something. (I've not played Carn Dum, so very possible).

intersting idea combine monotactic and Council of the Wise

@Marctimmins89 it can be used for Hirgon but i do not know if its worth, most times he should quest to gain his ability, but it can be used.

i would do some minor changes:

  • Golden Shield is to good not to include
  • Hidden Cache is aoutoinclude for the contract. either it replaces itself or you can use one of the other options
  • Book of Eldacar is autoinclude for me for mono-tactic
  • Magic Ring helps a lot i think
  • Gandalf
  • Keen as Lances (both are very flexible for cards or threadreducing
  • Envoy of Pelargir
  • Horn of Gondor (depends on testing, but if including gandalf and keen, i can imagine it helps, enough dying would be there ;) ) it seems you go very hard on chumpblocking, for my taste evrything that cost more than 2 its to expensive, so i would think about all allies that cost more, if they are worth it.

i would discard:

would perhaps change:

i found sidequests very helpful in carn dum to stay longer on the first questcard without risking thread or go to fast, so i would include:

and for better questing consider Steward of Orthanc his ability seems not bad in a council-deck

and as overall swissknife the good old Treebeard

@doomguard I like (most of) those suggestions! I haven’t messed w Council of the Wise enough yet.

The Seeing-stone would be useful for fetching Close Call or Reckless Attack. Also, Worthy of Remembrance seems useful. You can also add The Eagles Are Coming! as another flexible cantrip -- at the very least, it replaces itself.
