Premise

For a thematic deck running Elladan and Elrohir, their sister Arwen Undómiel was the logical choice for the third hero. She also feeds into their ability quite nicely, with flexible resource generation. Forth, The Three Hunters! was furthermore a very logical choice to further save resources for the ability of Elladan and Elrohir.

How To Play

Especially in solo, you start out with subpar questing. That means I try to see as much willpower early on as possible or Elven-light (which is always fantastic in your opening hand no matter the player mode) to at least not stagnate overly much. From there on, play the attachments where there are meant to go (which should be fairly obvious in most cases), target a quick contract flip for healing and additional willpower.

Considerations

Glamdring and The King's Return are very good options in higher player counts, to turn Elladan into an absolute attacking machine. In higher player counts, including Rivendell Bow as well as more copies of Elven Mail is crucial and the fast need for willpower often takes a back seat behind the combat focus. Steward of Gondor (mostly for Arwen Undómiel and draw in solo, for Elrohir and more actions in multiplayer) makes the deck a LOT better, however it isn't exactly thematic, so I only put it in the sideboard. Unexpected Courage never hurts and is great for multiplayer in particular, as well as quests requiring lots of actions (e.g. for tests).

Enjoy!!!
