Premise
Building a deck around the Mount trait proved quite tricky to me, I am quite happy with this end product however. Forth, The Three Hunters! seemed like an obvious choice for the deck, providing some much-needed cost reduction. Amarthiúl is great as a hero choice alongside Elfhelm since he has an inherent sphere-gain that doubles the bonus he gets through Elfhelm. Arwen Undómiel provides sime critical draw (through Elven-light) and questing.
How To Play
Seeing Elven-Light in your opening hand is often great because it straight-up doubles the cards you draw each round. Apart from that, Armored Destrier is great to see for Amarthiúl (and later for Elfhelm), as well as some willpower (especially in solo) to avoid questing unsuccessfully.
Considerations
Arod, Steed of the Mark and Tireless Thoroughbred are good options for multiplayer, as are Feint and Well Warned for events. Keep in mind that Elfhelm's bonus is global, so raising the amount of Mounts for multiplayer to give out to other players is something I really like doing.
Enjoy!!!
