new trial for escape from dol guldur NM with eagles:

this time with semi-faq-rules (or it is official? perhaps someone can quote) and we use it to our benefit. encountersetup before herosetup, so, we capture Sméagol before we had to shuffle #stinker into the ecounterdeck.

mulligan for Resourceful and Strider

if you have Resourceful use the contract Keep It Secret else do not use it

with Éowyn our thread lowers to 21 if using Keep It Secret you reach secrecy and have discount for Resourceful and A Lesson in Caution

if not you might have Strider and therfore a decent chance to make it

if both not consider restart, perhaps try it, if you have Captain's Wisdom using with Éowyn can pay for an Eagles of the Misty Mountains

strategy is simple, play 1 cheap eagle every round and use A Very Good Tale when u can perhaps supported by an expensive ally put into play by Sneak Attack. its overall a longterm run, but thats possible because of the low startingthread. both quest for solid 7 wp if u get lucky and draw a Strider its for 9 and Éowyn can take care of an early enemy if needed. could even work without secrecy.

your only carddraw are The Eagles Are Coming! and Gandalf

your res-acceleration are Alagos and a possible Resourceful

consider to include Steward of Gondor and perhaps do not aim for secrecy at all

it is everything than save but i think it have a shot. perhaps would never play it, but its fun to tinker around ;)

if playing with the Golden Crown it is perfect to get the 1-cost eagles paid back and attach to Eagles of the Misty Mountains (who later should defend the nazgul or with Feint )
