Whispers 1113

Hi comu

Here is my first real deck with Dúnedain Pipe (actually the card of the day)

A decided to build something with Smoke and Think because it s a very strong card when you play pipes. So I play Aragorn who is almost never played, with a big Gandalf!

With this contract, that Aragorn is very interesting to manage locations in the staging area, then I have 2 Rhovanion Outrider to help.

To gain resources I have 2 ways: 1. Use the know combo Hidden Cache + Expert Treasure-hunter. And Smoke and Think + Dwarven Tomb to recycle it.

I draw a lot because Gandalf + Expert Treasure-hunter + Dúnedain Pipe + Gandalf's Staff.

Depending of the scenario but usually I go and get Strider and Narya when I flip the contract.

If you have any suggestions or questions do not hesitate.

Have fun

Does the "known combo" with hidden cache also involve Wizard Pipe?? Seems real good. Cool deck!

Thanks @Turtle_Party:D

For the combo yeah, you need Wizard Pipe to remake the hidden cache from your hand to the top of your deck. And because I have 2 Expert Treasure-hunter, the Dúnedain Pipe is interesting to return a second Hidden Cache into my deck, if able.

with 4+ pipes around i would include Smoke Rings you start with thread of 34 it might be needed, might be usefull add a Hobbit Pipe but only if including Smoke Rings

would perhaps reduce Dwarven Tomb and Elfhelm (never know when to get him i prefer safe threadreducing) for Smoke Rings and/or 1-2 Bree-land Protector (against shadow you have at least the Gandalf's Staff and if u want to go the absolut safe way, consider Inner Strength + The One Ring thread shoudl not be a problem if including Smoke Rings )

Smoke Rings is a cool card, but I don't need it. To mange my threat I have, as always with Aragorn, Thorongil + LorAgorn.

Dwarven Tomb is really important to recycle Smoke and Think or A Test of Will. And Bree-land Protector is a banger IMO (I have only 1 copy of Gandalf's Staff) Then Elfhelm generally reduce your threat by 3-4 per game, depending of the scenario. And finally, I dislike the more op way of The One Ring + Inner Strength, and the threat could be a real problem if I add them!
