Twelvesmallsquares 175

Twelvesmallsquares has a newer deck inspired by this one: Trap-a-lap-a-ding-dong

Here is a mono lore trap-based deck which I have been working on. The main aim of the deck is to get enemies trapped and picked off. Any enemies that get out of the staging area and engage are either dealt with swiftly or are bounced back to the staging area for some more damage.

The starting threat of 32 is quite high, but it matters not as Aragorn is there to reset back to the starting threat level should the encounter deck/number of rounds push us a bit too close to elimination.

Defending will bounce between Aragorn and Faramir, depending upon the number of enemies in the staging area. If there are enough enemies to buff Faramir up to a high attack level then defend with Aragorn and hit back with Faramir. If not then just swap over and use Faramir for defence and Aragorn for attack. If you can get Gildor Inglorion into play his defence really helps.

Ideally Wingfoot will go onto Haldir of Lórien so that he can quest (along with Aragorn and/or Faramir for the early game, allies can take over mid to late game), then refresh if you can guess the encounter card reveal accurately. Henamarth Riversong makes this a given every round for solo. Then, Haldir of Lórien can do his staging area attack if no enemies have been engaged. To aid staging area attacks are Ithilien Pit and Advance Warning; with Forest Patrol adding extra damage to trapped enemies if required.

Ithilien Archer can be used to push enemies back to the staging area where they can land on unused traps. Anborn and Erebor Hammersmith can be used to recycle discarded traps (just watch the order in which you discard when lining up to play Erebor Hammersmith), and Master of the Forge can be used to mine your deck for traps if you have run out.

On top of all of this is a some healing via the Warden of Healing and some stronger allies such as Quickbeam and Wellinghall Preserver to help out in whatever areas you need. Dori is also included to redirect some damage from the heroes. To help get some of the higher cost allies out into play quicker I have included some copies of Elf-stone.

Lastly, card draw is in the form of Daeron's Runes and Mithrandir's Advice, both of which can be recycled using Scroll of Isildur, which can also be used for replaying Advance Warning and Forest Patrol if enemies are causing you problems.
