11 willpower in the first turn (Narya One Deck attempt) 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

This is my attempt on a One Deck built around Narya.

Eowyn gets Steward of Gondor for all the expensive Tactics allies. Cirdan gets Light of Valinor, Narya of course and his Silver Harp. Relic of Nargothrond sometimes goes on Cirdan, but in most cases it's Warden of the Havens to get a nice 5 defense.

Mulligan for what? Probably Light of Valinor to get at least Cirdan with 2 defense for an early enemy. but if you find Narya and Steward of Gondor, keep that hand too.

Strategy: use Gildor's action just for draw until you find Steward or Sneak Attack+Gandalf. After paying for these, you just continue using the action. After Gandalf, Meneldor is probably your second-best sneak attack target for 2 willpower or attack and 4 progress on locations total.

Your defense is carried by some of the allies, namely Déorwine, who is another use for Gildor's resources, Defender of Rammas and Warden of the Havens, as well as Boromir and Beorn sometimes, who all get help from Arwen Undómiel and Narya.

Attack, in a similar way is carried by Beorn, Legolas, Boromir, Skinbark, Glorfindel and Yazan. Nori is also an attacker through his ability, whose purpose is to recurr events you played this turn, like the Feint for the enemy he participated in destroying.

Willpower is mostly given by your 3 heroes, who got a total of 11 for a great start at 27 threat, but Arwen, Pippin, Meneldor and Grimbold help there too.
