Poète du troglo 22

Poète du troglo has a newer deck inspired by this one: For the gourmets only

A deck built around hobbits heroes, mono spirit and threat management.

[Update 09-25-2024]

Sam is the MotK.

Attach the The One Ring, Inner Strength, Unexpected Courage and Hobbit Pony to Fatty Bolger ; Unexpected Courage and Hobbit Pony to Merry ; Unexpected Courage, Mithril Shirt, Hobbit Pony and Hobbit Pipe to Sam Gamgee.

Fatty Bolger's ability pairs well with Sam's ability and with the threat reducer that is Merry.

Typical Strategy:

1) Thanks to the Hobbit Ponies, you may only engage Merry, Bolger, and Sam after the Reinforcement Step (which avoids such unpleasant betrayal, a waste of Willpower points, or an opportunity cost).

2) Reinforcement Step:

2.1) If an enemy is revealed, tap Merry to trigger his response. Your threat level drops by X points. (If the enemy has Reinforcement, wait to see what new card is revealed before choosing to tap Merry or choosing which enemy he triggers his response for.)

2.1.1) During the action window following the reinforcement step and preceding the quest resolution:

2.1.1.1) Straighten Merry with his Unexpected Courage

2.1.1.2) Tilt Bolger, Merry, Sam and their ponies, to engage these hobbits in quest

2.1.1.3) Straighten Bolger with Unexpected Courage

2.1.1.4) Tilt Bolger to trigger his action: increase your threat and therefore return to your level before 2.1). Spend 1 resource to straighten Sam if you can and wish. Sam will quest at 3 on this turn.

2.1.2) Resolve the quest by canceling the threat of the enemy revealed in 2.1)

2.2) If a treachery or a location is revealed, Merry will not be tilted to trigger his response. He may or may not engage in the quest after the reinforcement stage and before the quest is resolved. He may then intervene again, during the combat phase (to attack or defend against a small attack), by inclining Unexpected Courage.

3) Combat: Sam (who is upright) can intervene twice thanks to Unexpected Courage, by attacking at 2 and defending at 2 (and canceling 1 damage thanks to Mithril Mail). If Bolger did not exhaust for questing or using its action, then he can defend at 3 (2 + 1 with Inner Strength).

This is obviously not the most effective combination in absolute terms or the easiest to manage, on the other hand it is thematic (the Hobbits advance cautiously!), very fun and at the same time educational (learning to play with the timing of the stages and action windows).

Prince Imrahil is a safety in case Sam or Merry (the most vulnerable) disappear early.
