The Oath of Eorl Fulfilled 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

Simple and clean. A standard mesh of Core, Defenders of Gondor and Riders of Rohan starter cards.

I designed this deck to collaborate with my wife's three-sphere Leadership/Spirit/Lore deck who's primarily focused on questing and support. That being said, despite this deck's weaker questing potential, it has fared fine for me in most solo play scenarios.

Strengths:

• With Beregond and Eomer, it can consistently handle just about any enemy cards that come your way.
• It boasts decent encounter deck counters and drawing power.
• It is relatively quick to set up

Weakness:

• Lower questing potential

Guide:

Eomer is quite simply a solid striker, hitting for 5 every turn if Lothiriel can send someone out. Beregond is obviously the dedicated defender with a massive 4 Defense to start.

Lothiriel will be consistently questing and sending out free allies for their enter play effects (and proccing Éomer).

• Escort from Edoras for additional questing
• Envoy of Pelargir for additional resources Westfold Horse-breeder to fish for Firefoot and Rohan Warhorse which will make Eomer a one-man army. With both horses, he will be able to hit twice per turn with an Attack +7.

Gamling can recycle those handy allies like Escort from Edoras for more consistent questing (Between Lothiriel and Escort from Edoras, you'll be putting out 7 quest per turn)

Ancient Mathom will help you or your team mates with some big draw power, at least until you get the Horn of the Mark. Once you've got Horn of the Mark (or two) on Lothiriel, you'll also be consistently drawing 2-3 cards per turn simply by sending out a retrievable ally.

Thanks to Beregond's badass ability, the now free Gondorian shield puts him at 6 defence (enough to tank just about anything), and the discounted 2 cost Citadel Plate makes him a juggernaut with 8 HP. You will have an excess of tactics resources by mid-game, so additional copies of these attachments can go on allies like Guthlaf, Riddermark Knight, Westfold Lancer, Defender of Rammas, or Gamling.

Though unnecessary for success in most scenarios, Unexpected Courage will be the overkill, allowing Eomer to attack 3 times per turn, and Beregond to block twice per turn (Don't forget he's Sentinel as well to protect your squishier team mates).

Captain of Gondor is a flexible stat boost to either Beregond or Eomer, depending on your needs at the moment.

Lastly, A Test of Will and Hasty Stroke will ensure you've got enough safeguards against nasty encounter and shadow cards; of course, Dwarven Tomb can bring them back again if necessary, or Unexpected Courage if you lose it for any reason.
