This deck is part of a two-deck Fellowship used to play The Old Forest for the Cardboard of the Rings Quest of the Week.

The Fellowship description contains details of the quest playthrough and campaign mode information.

The Old Forest includes a lot "disruption" type effects and a constant stream of locations, which are necessary to explore in order to advance the quest.

As a campaign deck, the hero choices are were largely already made, although I did swap Aragorn into the Hobbit deck and thought his version was more appropriate for a location based quest.

Since this quest is not too challenging and Fatty Bolger was staring at me from his card art, I thought I'd try out a Pipe deck. Thanks to the Hobbits it's easy enough to get a good number of Pipes and there's plenty of card draw as well to get the engine going. The ultimate goal is to use Pipes to help lower threat and draw lots of cards, wtih Smoke and Think to help put big expensive allies into play.

Since I was already looking at running these allies anyway, it seemed easy enough to throw in the Fellowship conract too, so the deck could close out the game with real force.

This deck does include Asfaloth, another card that begs to included for location control, since it can be played on Glorfindel in the partner deck.

I've added Salvaged Supplies into the sideboard as a stand-in for a potential swap for Good Meal, although you could choose your favourite resource accelerator. When I built the deck, I must have thought I could use Good Meal to help pay for cards, the deck's most expensive sphere. Obviously you can't without a Hobbit hero, oops. This was somewhat mitigated when playing due to Frodo Baggins' ability, but I know the deck could do better with more help.
