Niuetron 14

I do not know how I came to this idea and of course is for the fun, but I think that the base of this deck is really good and could lead to a very good decks, as I saw no combinations like these on the page.

First we have two leadership heroes, both key, specially Elfhelm with his passive, and Amarthiúl, wich can do marvelous things in this deck.

Galadriel is maybe even more important as she can fill the gaps the other hero's have (willpower). Of course,a Mulligan for Nenya is imperative but not essential.

Strategy

Mulligan for Armored Destrier or Nenya. Both would be great as you could quest for 6 and defend for 4 two times on first turn! And you will only have to worry about one shadow card... (I love Armored Destrier btw)

From there, trying to maintain one or two enemies engaged all the time to fullfil one or two of the passives of Amarthiúl and get extra resources every turn is very important in order to build the table.

Both heroes are built the same way, Armored Destrier and Ancestral Armor, but as the armor has no restrictions, u can use one on Guardian of Arnor and equip one of them with a Warrior Sword. This will depend of course on what you need for the quest and what you have in hand, and in case u need to confront something a really hard enemy too soon, Feint is always a good help.

Galadriel is the most difficult hero to build, but when she is complete, she can reduce the threat by two and draw two cards every turn and also quest for 8, which is not bad. In order to accomplish this u would need Nenya, Unexpected Courage X 2, Windfola and Necklace of Girion.

Order is not that important though, but try to get Necklace of Girion asap as it is wonderful in this deck. It's guarded counterpart is here positive for some characters like Amarthiúl, Fornost Bowman or Guardian of Arnor, and this extra resource and extra 2 ...

With this, the deck is pretty consistent I ould say, not perfect, but consistent.

Thalion would be your fourth hero, but still as an ally I think is great, as can have it questing and ready for combat with only one quested side plan.

Sword-thain will go on Súlien or Glorfindel, expensive but amazing characters for questing and help Galadriel with the cards.

For sure you do not need 5 heroes and you can use Steward of Gondor on Galadriel, Sneak Attackand Gandalf combo and some other great combinations, but I want to try new decks away from standards. Taking out two side plans and some other cards to improve the deck is also possible, but then I would have to change the name and I don't want

My only comments on this deck are that Galadriel's ability is limited to once per round; that she cannot quest, only lend her Willpower to an ally with Nenya; and that Warrior Sword cannot be attached to Guardian of Arnor, as it requires the Warrior trait, which the Guardian does not have. Otherwise, it is a very interesting idea that works well.

Thanks for the comment @ruinaur! Yeah, I know, that's why Unexpected Courage is here, to allow Galadriel to do her magic more than once
