Premise
The idea here is incredibly simple. Equip Elladan with Orcrist and Rivendell Bow, turning him into an absolute killing monster. Galdor of the Havens enables that you see your combopieces quick while Elrohir does some great defensive work.
How To Play
Using Galdor of the Havens aggressively, look to find Rivendell Bow and Orcrist (or a way to tutor them in Open the Armory and/or The King's Return) in setup. The chances of seeing both/tutors for both are high, so that is your target. From there on, just play the deck down. If things go wrong, Elven Spear can be used in resource/planning to discard your hand and further look for your key pieces with Galdor's second ability.
Glamdring is fantastic after seeing Orcrist to draw cards without end, Blade of Gondolin can make insane progress along the way. The contract is nice to flip, however it should only be your top priority if your party really struggles in terms of willpower. Distant Stars is great to free up your guarded attachments.
Considerations
Secret Vigil is good if you struggle with threat, Legacy of Númenor and Proud Hunters if your fellowship lacks resources. Steward of Gondor is not really needed and will probably be brought by someone else. If that is not the case however, play it either for Elrohir to take over defending or for someone else. The Arkenstone doesn't really do a lot at your side of the table, however someone else might use it to great effect.
Enjoy!!!
