Premise
My preferred Rohan deck for multiplayer. This deck is built around the very decent starting willpower of your heroes as well as the various swarming tools at your disposal. Aside from very decent questing, you also have some combat capabilities, early on largely thanks to Éowyn, later on through your allies.
How To Play
Your main swarming tools are Legacy of Númenor, Steward of Gondor, The Muster of Rohan and A Very Good Tale. Seeing as many of them as possible early on is key, I try to have at least two of them in my starting hand (keep in mind though that Steward is not as great without Legacy or someone else's resource support round 1). From there on you swarm aggressively, until you have played most allies in your deck.
Lategame, you can recycle an ally every round (which usually ends up bein Éomund, but can also be Grimbold or Háma if need be). Keep in mind to adjust your Steward-hero accordingly - if you plan to recycle Éomund for example, I would usually put Steward on Théoden.
Considerations
Gandalf and especially Sneak Attack have some great synergy here but just missed out on the cut.
Riddermark Knight and Snowbourn Scout are the next allies to include (especially if you want to push your ally count to avoid frustrating experiences with AVGT ot Muster). Feint would be amazins here but it just missed out since I wanted to push the ally count as much as possible (to avoid said frustrating experiences).
Enjoy!!!
