JoostHoppenbrouwer has a newer deck inspired by this one: Core - Passage Through Mirkwood

First self-build deck based on experience with the 4 Core Sphere Decks. Used only and since those did well.

Results

Played 'Passage Through Mirkwood' twice.

1 - Defeat: Questing was bad. Threat 50 at Stage 1.

2 - Victory: Questing was realy good. Gimli died. Score: 115

Analysis

Deck didn't work out as intended. Had to use Gimli for questing all the time instead of attacking. Used Allies and Aragorn (since he can be readied after questing) for fighting. Steward of Gondor works well for blocking 'Caught in a Web'. Also, I didn't manage to get Celebrían's Stone even once which made the cards useless. Research management however is amazing with this deck.

Ideas

  • Need to get more questing without losing too much resources. Maybe add Éowyn.
  • Maybe find a way to get more card draw (adding is no option).

I would substitute Gimli for Éowyn. Spirit is probably the most powerful sphere despite the starter deck’s performance. You would have much better questing, lower threat, and better access to all of those amazing spirit cards. Stand and Fight would help with “ card draw.”

My “ escape from dol guldur solo” deck is a good example of that hero lineup, but it is specialized for a certain quest.

I myself was thinking of replacing Aragorn for Éowyn since I want to keep Gimli for defence and attack.

The deck from the Core set didn't impress me much but I'll give it another look.

No, I agree that the spirit starter deck is very weak, along with the other starter decks. I just meant that the spirit sphere, overall, is very powerful.

@Wandalf the Gizzard I redesigned my deck and now I see what you meant. It is still unbeaten for this quest. Check version 2.0!
