So this is a purely for fun deck I built that actually turned out to be decently good once it gets running. First and foremost, our goal is to kill off Treebeard while he is attached to The Fall of Gil-Galad. In order to get TFoGG, we hunt for Gather Information using Thurindir's ability. Once this happens, its all about playing cards from there.

All resourcefuls should go on Galadriel as she obtains the Lore resource with Nenya. Second, the first unexpected courage is meant for Galadriel with the other two being for Treebeard. A Burning Brand and Lembas are also meant primarily for Treebeard though Lembas can be used as tactically needed.

Your goal once Treebeard dies initially is to get out up to 5 healers quickly (you honestly really only need 2 if you have resourcefuls out) to bring back Treebeard using Houses of Healing. From here on, its just play as you get. The one of allies are really good in this deck to get out as soon as possible to help with attacking/defending if you need it. Otherwise they are also good questers.

Ultimately this deck is purely for fun and isn't meant to be a power build. Hopefully you all enjoy it. Cheers.

Nice job! You mention putting Resourceful on Galadriel since Nenya gives her a Lore icon. Would it be more helpful to add an additional copy of Kenya if you're going to go that route? Or add a Song of Travel to smooth out your Spirit resources since you actually have more Spirit than Lore in the deck? Great design though!

Looks fun. I've been trying to figure out how to use Fall of Gil-Galad well and Thurindir is certainly a good way to go! Kenya x3

@The White WizardHonestly with the extra card draw per turn plus the peace and thoughts plus the mirror, finding Nenya is extremely efficient in this deck. But I did toy with the idea of removing a peace and thought for an extra Nenya so that could definitely be an option. @FinbarfinThank you. Me too and then the synergy between FoGG and Treebeard hit me.

It's an entertaining thought: Treebeard self-destructing by punching himself in the face! What a glorious death worthy of song!
