Trunk & Disorderly: Quick Tactical Guide

Overview

Trunk & Disorderly is a slow-starting, high-impact Ent deck. It's built around Lore/Tactics heroes Treebeard, Quickbeam, and Beravor. Survive early threats, then dominate mid-to-late game using a heavy Ent lineup backed by tactical support and healing.

Quick Tactical Tips

• Mulligan for: Entmoot, Wingfoot, Beravor, or early questing support.
• Haldir of Lórien shines in multiplayer or staging-area-heavy quests.
• Coordinate Feint, Forest Snare, and Infighting to neutralize enemies until Ents are ready.
• Use Beravor for card draw early, and Wingfoot to transition her into action advantage later.
• Let your Ents take their time — by turn 4+, you’ll be rolling over enemies and locations alike.

Single-Player Strategy

Early game (slow start):

• Prioritize Entmoot, Daeron’s Runes, or Wingfoot.
• Use Quickbeam's self-damage for early action economy.
• Treebeard handles big attacks or pushes quests when needed.
• Forest Snare delays dangerous enemies until you stabilize.

Mid-to-late game (power spike):

• Stack Ents: Beechbone, Skinbark, Derndingle Warrior.
• Use Wingfoot + Beravor for double actions and draw.
• Heal Ents with Lembas, Healing Herbs, and Lore of Imladris.
• Infighting redistributes damage for finishing off tough enemies.

Multiplayer Role

• Excels as a combat control deck.
• Absorbs early aggro with high-HP heroes and defenders like Derndingle Warrior.
• Haldir of Lórien adds ranged staging control or covers vulnerable teammates.
• Beravor supports table-wide draw if your hand is solid.
• Healing and threat control spread across the table with Lore of Imladris and Woodmen’s Clearing.

Key Synergies

• Entmoot: Speeds up Ent deployment.
• Wingfoot + Beravor: Generates free card draw or defense.
• Wellinghall Preserver + Ent Damage: Keeps Treebeard and Quickbeam healing passively.
• Infighting: Converts damage into a precise kill tool.
• Forest Snare: Stalls major enemies, combos with Infighting.

Managing Threat-Heavy Openings

• Expecting Mischief and Feint reduce early damage.
• Strider’s Path helps skip locked locations.
• Woodmen’s Clearing triggers after exploration for threat relief.
• Focus on surviving turn 1–2; once Ents arrive, you control the board.

Sideboard Substitutions

Use these based on scenario demands or table needs:

Heavy Combat Quests
→ Sub in Defender of Rammas or extra Derndingle Warrior for more blocking
→ Consider Beorn for burst combat power

Staging Area Enemies
→ Add Descendant of Thorondor or Forest Patrol to clear them pre-engagement
→ Use Expecting Mischief x3 if you expect low-HP enemies

Slow Quests or Multiplayer
→ Add extra Wellinghall Preserver or Ghan-buri-Ghan for pacing and longevity
→ Beravor becomes a team draw engine with Wingfoot

Off-Sphere Cards
→ Watch resource balance when using Gandalf or Descendant of Thorondor

Version Corrections

This version fixes a core rules conflict: the original list used Quickbeam (Ally) while also including Quickbeam (Hero), which is illegal by deckbuilding rules.

Haldir of Lórien was added as a ranged attacker to fill the role, offering more multiplayer synergy and long-term value.
Additional flexible allies like Defender of Rammas, Descendant of Thorondor, and Ghan-buri-Ghan were moved to the sideboard for tactical use based on quest demands.
