locationbane 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

i think this is one o the most efficient anti-locationdeck, that can also be played solo. without sideboard, it is original, with sideboard you can pimp it with some alep-cards.

if you want to go against trolls or such heavy battlebeasts, include The One Ring + Inner Strength in multiplayer that should not be necessary.

why the heroes?:

• Haldan, because he synergies with many explored locations (with attachments).
• Glorfindel, mainly because of Asfaloth but the sphere and low thread are very useful
• Elrond because he can pay for lore and spirit-allies

the most effective allies against locations are:

• Rhovanion Outrider
• Northern Tracker
• Mirkwood Explorer

effective other synergies with locations have:

• Ghân-buri-Ghân
• Haleth
• Súlien
• West Road Traveller

all have maximumcost of 4, so everyone within 2 rounds playable.

efficient attachments to explore locations are:

• Asfaloth
• Steed of Imladris
• Explorer's Almanac
• Woodmen's Path
• Map of Rhovanion

the 3 Westfold Horse-breeder helps to get the horses (and can chump after, if necessary).

the other Attachments for location are for their own benefit and/or to carddraw and readyness of Haldanan.

Vilyaa can be played blindly if Asfaloth is NOT in play, after that with very little chance to whiff. it is a bonus and not necessary for the strategy of the deck.

NOT in this deck, because of lack efficiency are the considered, but decided against:

• Lórien Guide
• Meneldor
• Woodland Courier

mulligan keep startinghand if either Asfaloth or Vilya or Gléowine is in.

playing advice:

• try to get the expensive allies with Elf-stone
• play as much attachments for locations as possible, you get a card as soon as they are explored.
• defend weak enemies with Elrond (+ possible Cloak of Lórien and perhaps Inner Strength, chump the big ones.

playing with alepcards, consider replace Elrond with Widfast + her falcon (selected and bonusplayed 1. round) the res generated by the bird can go to haldan or widast (so flexibility of lore and spirit is also given)

finishing thoughts i think it is the best antilocationdeck, you can do, but i would enjoy your proposals/opinions. yes it need Elrond but can play alongside decks with Gandalf that not use him (or even with gandalf-vilya using the alep-version)
