First things first, this is a combat/defense deck.
Support of the Eagles combined with Eagles of the Misty Mountains has always been one of my favorite combos to pull off. In my mind the biggest flaw is that Support of the Eagles and other combo pieces don't always come off of your deck.
I have designed this deck with Galdor of the Havens to get eagle combos in play with an almost guaranteed success rate. I have included Daeron's Runes, Heed the Dream, and Master of the Forge to make it nearly impossible for the cards you need to not show up.
Boromir is meant to be the target of Support of the Eagles because Support of the Eagles lasts until the end of the phase, Boromir can defend or attack multiple times. (Not both unless you place two copies of this attachment on him.)
With this deck you might even be able to get Support of the Eagles on Mablung as well.
Other attachments like Captain of Gondor, Horn of Gondor, and Mighty prowess could go on either Boromir or Mablung.
I have included A Burning Brand, and Song of Wisdom because I plan on taking this deck into quests with nasty shadow effects. These are again meant for Boromir.
Mablung and Horn of Gondor are in the deck to provide some extra resources as you engage enemies. Mablung also gets Wingfoot.
I do realize that Horn of Gondor requires an ally to be destroyed but it should be easy enough to use the cheaper allies in this deck as chump blockers to trigger this effect.
Wait no longer, is here to help engage enemies.
Sideboard
Rather than go into detail about what could be changed in this deck I will just say that the core eagles strategy in this deck could remain the same while having almost everything else changed out and tweaked. Keeping Galdor of the Havens as one of the heroes will however make this deck type much more consistent.
I hope you enjoy this deck as much as I do.

Feb 19, 2017I just played this deck last night along with a Rohan deck against "The Thing in the Depths." I managed to beat the quest after failing a few times with other decks. Galdor's ability to discard and then draw up more cards did exactly what I needed it to do. If you have played The Thing in the Depths you know how nasty the shadow cards can be in it. I managed to attach Song of Wisdom and A Burning Brand to Boromir and this proved to be key against this quest. Heed the Dream and The Eagles are Coming also proved their worth. If I were to change things about the deck I think I would reduce the number of high cost eagles such as Descendant of Thorondor, Landroval, and Gwaihir to just one copy of each and substitute in other cheaper tactics allies with engagement abilities. I would also remove Meneldor's Flight and put in Tireless Hunters. |
Feb 21, 2017I know about those nasty shadow cards in The Thing in the Depths, but I got by with Hasty Stroke plus recursion. Those deck changes sound good, are you posting a 2nd version? |
Nice deck, I have memories of playing Eagle decks where I had Eagles of the Misty Mountains built up but waited round after round for Support of the Eagles to be drawn. It looks this deck has a good solution for that though.
I do wonder if Tireless Hunters might be a better option than Wait no Longer, since it lets you engage an enemy that engaged someone else whereas Wait no Longer pulls an enemy from the encounter deck. Would be nice to have a little engagement control since this deck has little in the way of ranged attack.
