This is secrecy deck 2 of 2. They are both spirit and lore and they are meant to be played together. The other deck is: https://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/52700/dream-chaser-arwengaldorsecrecyclearslocationsinstag-1.0

The 2 decks both focus on treachery cancelling using A Test of Will and encounter deck manipulation using Out of the Wild, Risk Some Light and Scout Ahead. Putting cards in the Victory Display using Out of the Wild takes out those pesky non-victory locations, enemies or treacheries.

The 2 decks also has the same focus on playing the cheap secrecy allies Celduin Traveler and Ithilien Lookout.

Dealing with enemies are not handled the traditional way as in enemy and player attack. Instead the focus is to kill enemies in the staging area with rangers Ithilien Lookout and Ithilien Archer with Ranger Bow. With all copies of Ranger Bow in play single enemies with up to 6 hitpoints can be killed in the staging area (assuming they are not immune to player card effects).

Threat reduction are available in both decks with Elrond's Counsel, Gandalf, Galadriel's Handmaiden and Double Back

Resource generation are available through Resourceful

This concludes the parts where the 2 decks are similar. The section below describes the specific focus of this deck compared to the other.

This deck features Cirdan who in addition to innate card draw has Narya which has two benefits:

  1. Access to Leadership sphere allowing for sneaking Gandalf for general utility.
  2. Multiple uses of the good allies like Warden of Healing from the other deck, Ithilien Archer to put even more enemies in the staging area if overwhelmed, Master of the Forge and Faramir and Gandalf

To make sure Círdan the Shipwright is not exhausted Strider is used, which can also be useful for early help in questing.

Card draw is available through Círdans innate ability as well as (MotK) Gléowine. If he gets that Unexpected Courage he can be used 2 times a round. Also a single copy of "Master of the Forge is included, but not as necessary. And if not needed for other stuff Gandalf can help with card draw as well.
