Created this deck (, ) to beat the angmar campaign in true solo. Works very well, lots of card draw thanks to Erestor and Círdan the Shipwright. Added flexibility with Silver Harp. Ressources are no problem thanks to Steward of Gondor and Arwen Undómiel. Once you got your Noldor allies in play, play Lords of the Eldar for the final blow to an enemy or a quest. Will of the West for safety because you can easily empty your deck.

Looks great so far, but i would prefer 3x Will of the West in case of drawing it to early.

I believe To the Sea, to the Sea! should be core in an Erestor deck, because it provides you consistency paying for allies. You effectively start the game with 6 + 5 (discarding 1) cards, so it is very possible with 3 copies of it in your deck to draw it for your first turn and pay for a high cost ally. Even in later turns you prevent waisting dead cards in your hand which might be to expensive or not useful in the moment.

How about Imladris Caregiver? It seems you have no healing and his passive healing is very effective and it's another way to get rid of dead cards.

With Cirdan & Arwen in this group you don't even need Erestor to be honest. you could substitute other Lore characters for better value to compliment the already large card draw. Maybe a capable defender to help you survive the early rounds?

Some key elements missing (including as stated above)

  • Healing (of any kind) Caregivers, Daughters of Nimrodel, or Ioreth are all easy inclusions here
  • Light of Valinor for Cirdan (then make him your attacker or defender too)
  • More threat reduction, as you start at 31 and only Elrond's counsel x 3 for threat is aggressive.
  • If you really must go the Narya route on Cirdan, then include some sneak attacks and Gandalfs for flexibility with threat
