Quick deck I put together for Quest of the Week. The core set quests are a prelude to The Hunt for Gollum so I went with Aragorn and Gandalf. Aragorn gets Rune Master as the starting title which can be readied with his innate ability, allowing us to play many signals for ‘free’ twice per round.

Haleth provides a little flavor as a woodman and also helps the deck run by searching for attachments.

Gandalf does Gandalf things with his Gandalf attachments.

The deck draws quite a few cards, about half the deck in 5 rounds. I had some fun with in in Passage through Mirkwood but Gandalf is probably going to be replaced with a cheaper hero due to the impending Hill Troll in next week’s quest.

Let me know what you think!

Nice deck! With Wizard Pipe, Celebrían's Stone, and all the attachment searching, I think you can run some off-sphere cards to buy with Gandalf, such as Arwen Undómiel or Estel. Also, where is Elessar? Consider cutting a few copies of the worse signals, Flame of Anor, or Strider.

Thanks for chiming in, @NERD! Great point about branching into some off-sphere cards given Gandalf's engine. Arwen Undómiel and Estel are easy adds. I considered Elessar and Andúril but they didn't make the cut because of thematic reasons. Those two came along at a later stage in the story.
