Concept
Prince Imrahil joins forces with made-for-heaven duo Celeborn and Galadriel. The deck revolves around cheap ways of putting allies into play the turn you need them. It owes its name to its 3 providers of pick-a-card-then-shuffle effects : Prince Imrahil, Galadhrim Minstrel, and Mirror of Galadriel.
How to play
The most important card to have is Elf-friend on Prince Imrahil. After that, Mirror of Galadriel is the main accelerator for finding important pieces such as Nenya (which enables The Tree People). Silver Harp makes it incredible, but it's more of a mid-game boon.
The deck is burst-y. Unlike most decks, you don't want to play out all your allies and events such as The Tree People, but only when you need them, because they're only valuable when boosted by Celeborn. You remove them to repeat the enter play effects.
The only ally you want to stay on the table is Gildor Inglorion, since he can feed Prince Imrahil with whichever ally happens to be in your hand (including Elrond). The only copy of Elf-stone is actually there for him.
Well-rounded
This deck does a bit of everything, so it's very solo-friendly. You have threat reduction (Galadriel, Island Amid Perils, Galadriel's Handmaiden), healing and condition attachment discard effects (Elrond).
There's no shadow effect cancelling, though. Instead it relies on Feigned Voices and Feint to suppress attacks altogether, recycling them with Galadhrim Weaver and fetching them with Galadhrim Minstrel (who, in turn, can be fetched by Prince Imrahil).
Testing results
This deck is quick and cheap. One of the major issue is the high starting threat, but because of Galadriel and the strong questing, this often isn't that big a deal. Against Conflict of the Carrock nightmare, I could keep the threat below 34 almost indefinitely, getting rid of the trolls one by one, finishing off Rob&Bob with an attack of 25. In my last play of Journey along the Anduin (solo), I just had to lower the threat below 30 with Island Amid Perils played on a sneak-attacked ally. Once there, I could stay below 30 until I had enough to one-shot the Hill Troll.
The deck also worked very well against Watcher in the Water Nightmares (the tentacles can't hold onto anything, that's fun) and Hunt for Gollum Nightmare.

Mar 02, 2018I'd rather rely on Mirror of Galadriel to fetch anything on demand rather than include more copies of Gildor/Elfstone. Gildor's absence is not too taxing, because alternate solutions will usually be there. His main uses would be to put back Elrond, or a Marksman of Lórien into the deck for Prince Imrahil, but these can be sneak-attacked (sneak attack being quite easy to get because of the numerous search effects and Galadriel's draw), or have other copies still in the deck, so I never feel shorted when he's not there. That said, I could certainly see another version of the deck with more copies of Gildor/Elfstone. |
Mar 13, 2018Kind of a noob question, but how do you pay for the lore cards besides getting Nenya? |
Mar 13, 2018The other way is through Prince Imrahil (hence the importance of Elf-friend). So you need either Elf-Friend, Nenya, or Mirror of Galadriel to get them quick. Galadriel’s draw is also there to make that more reliable. |
Nice deck. Should Gildor and/or Elf-stone have more copies to more consistently see Gildor?
