DECK NAME - Fury Road

https://youtu.be/vIvxyY8krwM

OVERVIEW - This quest really creates the feeling that we are desperately defending Arwen much more so than the original. This is one of those quests in solo where you build the best deck you can and hope for the right card interactions and timing. Beorn and Legolas can attack and kill any enemy in the scenario while Frodo Baggins' response keeps objective Arwen ally alive. I've put as much card draw as I can in the deck. This is a great example of how difficult a nightmare quest can be. This deck is above a 50% win percentage but not really sure what exact percentage. I'd guess that it wins 2 out of 3 usually.

HEROES

  • Beorn - take early hit rather than use Frodo's response if possible
  • Frodo - always quest and take undefended damage as "overage" can go on Arwen due to shadow effects
  • Legolas - attach weapons and leave ready to attack with Beorn

STRATEGY

  • SETUP - make sure your opening hand is one that can get you going out of the gate; A Test of Will is nice to see
  • Generally, try and kill each enemy as it comes into play; cancel attacks early with Feint and The Wizards's Voice even against lower enemies; this gives you time to get your board state going
  • Always try and have at least one cheap eagle ally out for taking treachery damage or exhausting a character
  • Don't needlessly attach weapons to Legolas as he can be forced to discard them. Only attach if you have Foe-hammer or Goblin-cleaver in hand
  • CARD DRAW - - Gandalf, Ancient Mathom, Foe-hammer, The Eagles Are Coming!
  • THREAT REDUCTION - Gandalf and Elrond's Counsel (can only play when Arwen is under our control)
  • Goblin-cleaver - primarily used to kill Goblin Trapper; if you kill it during quest phase it doesn't contribute its threat
  • A Test of Will and Hasty Stroke - primarily save for Sleeping Sentry
  • Just know that sometimes you won't be able to win (e.g. Orc Ambush treachery returns 5 orcs to staging); this quest isn't fair; deck wins some, loses some
  • FOLLOWED BY NIGHT - don't forget you can chose option B even is there are no enemies engaged with you as "all" can be 0
  • ORC RAIDERS - This card annoyingly forces you to discard 2 attachments we control. That could include weapons on Legolas as well as Ancient Mathom; to combat this, we can discard attachments on Eagles of the Misty Mountains or even a Rivendell Blade we may have attached to Arwen
