granimaljeff has a newer deck inspired by this one: Valorous Hunters

The idea of this deck is to make full use of Elfhelm’s ability. This is done by bringing in Song of Kings, Song of Battle, and Song of Travel. These attachments, being distributed correctly, can allow all three of the starting heroes to get the +1 , +1 , and +1 from Elfhelm when they have Mounts attached to them! For example: I attach Song of Kings and Song of Battle to Éowyn. Now she has the and spheres as well as the sphere. If she has a Mount attached to her, she then gets +1 , +1 , and +1 .

Restricted attachments for Elfhelm: Ancestral Armor, War Axe, (if he has Song of Battle attached to him) Steed of the Mark, and Silver Harp.

Restricted attachments for Éomer: Firefoot, Steed of the Mark, War Axe, and Herugrim.

Restricted attachments for Éowyn: Windfola, Steed of the Mark, Ancestral Armor, and Golden Shield.

Other important cards:

Resourceful is a must since all of my heroes will have Steed of the Mark on them, and it requires extra resources to use its ability.

Astonishing Speed is meant for side A of Forth, The Three Hunters! contract, in case of a location lock you can’t get through.

Hunting Party can be useful in those quests where you can’t engage enemies, or you don’t want to engage an enemy.

A Test of Will and Sterner than Steel keep the encounter deck in check so that it doesn’t hurt your heroes, your threat, your cards, etc.

Oath of Eorl is when Éomer among others can kill off high strength enemies you don’t want to face.

The Galadhrim's Greeting keeps the threat low early on or in tight spots.

Unexpected Courage (pretty easy to figure it out).

Final thoughts: if you find that the deck doesn’t need A Fair Exchange, just switch it out with a couple pairs of Thorongil. Thorongil is useful to smash enemies in the staging area using Éomer, or striking down enemies before they can attack you with Éowyn and The Oath!

How do you fulfill the conditions to play Oath of Eorl? It seems there isn't a unique Gondor character

@ruinaur Thanks for pointing that out! I had a couple of Stewards in my deck and took them out, but I guess I forgot to take Oath of Eorl out! I guess there’s an extra card slot in!

I will make a new version excluding Oath of Eorl.
