Council at The Prancing Pony (campaign mode) 1.0

I've been tweaking this deck for campaignmode for about the whole day and I think this is how it needs to be. With a different ringbearer than Frodo I would swap Woodmen's Clearing for Frodo Baggins. With The White Council I think one Born Aloft is sufficiënt. Play Born Aloft on either Merry or Frodo Baggins (only if he isn't ringbearer already.

The deck seems a bit fat, but with Barliman Butterbur's and Nob abilities, Hobbit Pipe and Old Toby you will get a good enough draw mechanic. My only problem was getting enough pool and get Song of Kings and Song of Battle. So went on both cards to the max of 3 copies. Red Book of Westmarch repairs resource generation. Nice thing it's als an item, so you can trigger Nob to ready Nob or play it for -1 cost less.

There is enough threat reducement with Smoke Rings to play with Gandalf. Bree Pony's, and Harry Goatleaf will keep Barliman Butterbur alive. Bree Pony and Spare Pipe will give enough health to tank damage.

Scheming Staddler and Bree-land Protector helps to counter enemies and shadowcards. If your ringbearer is Frodo Baggins don't forget to trigger his ability and exhaust the One Ring to cancel unwanted reveal effects!

Not sure if Fast Hitch is really needed. It's nice on Nob, Pippin or Sam Gamgee, but Pippin readies himself if you engage an enemy with higher threat level and the plus 1 on Sam Gamgee is also noth worth it. It's only a bit useful on Nob imo. So maybe better to replace them with 2x Woodmen's Clearing.

In the end this deck had A Stout Heart.

I hope the Alep guys will make an Aragorn Ally, because that would complete this deck thematicly.
