Premise
This is a deck mostly focused around the Noldor trait and the strong resource generation To the Sea, to the Sea!, Arwen Undómiel, Denethor and Steward of Gondor offer you. With these tools, you should be able to pump out allies quickly (some of them very powerful like Glorfindel ot the sons of Elrond), sustain the swarm with A Very Good Tale and then play 1-2 Lords of the Eldar lategame to boost your army quite nicely.
How To Play
I look for as much resource acceleration as possible in my opening hand. Steward, Gather Information, To The Sea, A Very Good Tale and Magic Ring are cards I almost never discard for Galdor of the Havens' ability, most other things usually go to the bin to filter for those key cards.
Considerations
Elrond, Double Back, The Evening Star and Unexpected Courage (which you don't need but someone else might profit from) are all worth a look in multiplayer, especially with cards like Henamarth Riversong losing value. Hasty Stroke is a great tech card for quests with punishing shadow effects, since your starting defender (Denethor) is quite vulnerable. Later on, when your allies might take over defensive duties, it is still very useful.
Enjoy!!!
