Premise
My preferred Vilya deck for a 2-player game. I tried to heat a sweet spot between the flexibility of my solo version(s) and the specialized questing/support power of my multiplayer ones. You should be able to cover all the support, almost all the questing and a decent chunk of combat, rendering this deck to maybe my most powerful deck for a 2-player-game.
How To Play
With Bilbo Baggins as your Messenger of the King grabbing you Wizard Pipe, the only tool left to get will be gotten is Vilya. Therefore mulligan hard for it and if you don't find it, keep looking with all the tools at your disposal. Starting with a 46-card deck helps with that of course. From there on, it is assessing what you and the table needs most and adjusting your play accordingly.
Considerations
[Rhovanion Outrider](/card/12062) becomes very useful if you need more location control, [Yazan](/card/17004) is an amazing attacker if you are worried about the attacking side of things. [Shadowfax](/card/143014) is a great sub if action advantage becomes an issue. [Narya](/card/11015) is a card that is useful for you but in mind only makes the cut if someone else is running very suitable allies for its ability as well. [Helm of Secrecy](/card/22090) can provide the ultimate flexibility if needed.
Enjoy!!!
