This deck is a bad idea, but here goes. Designed to highlight all the best aspects of the Cardboard of the Rings podcast, it is specified to beat CotR's favorite scenario. I'll leave it to you to guess. Not only does it play their favorite scenario, it includes three copies of both of their favorite cards (you can guess those too)! Also, there is a small section for most of CotR's main members (the ones that I knew enough about). Here goes:

Rena (aka Bardlee): I wanted to include Caldara, but that didn't work, so I did a HamBurglar deck with Haldan.

Chad (aka TheChap): I included Haldir of Lórien, and like Shellin, I used Haldir as the primary defender, with Mithril Shirt, Gondorian Shield, and Ioreth.

Eric (aka Shellin): I stole one of your grief deck moves: Message from Elrond to Desperate Alliance to Helm of Secrecy. I also used Message from Elrond to Justice Shall Be Done.

Chris (aka Seastan): I included a few ALEP cards, from Faunith to Without My Hat to let me use Sword-thain. Also, one of the two favorite cards that I put in happens to be one of your personal favorites.

Jon (aka ElectronJon): I plan to run this deck alongside one of yours, probably Ain't no Ash Mountain High Enough

Enjoy everyone!

I mean, obviously I love everything about this. Haldir as a defender and grief potential?! 10/10

I think you only meant to put in one copy of ally Elrond though...

Oh, no. I meant to have 3! Also, he does kind of help with this one quest that I designed it for (everyone's favorite!).

I think it's been over a year since I commented on a deck. This is very thoughtful and appreciated! And of course, the favorite quest is The Withered Heath. Right? Lol thanks for putting this together..

Way too many Elronds.
