Overview

Secrecy X is a keyword that reduces the cost of a card with secrecy X by the X value. This only can occur if your threat is equal to or less than 20. This is a powerful ability on some cards, example being Timely Aid. This card for a cost of one in secrecy can get you the most important ally in this deck out on turn one. This ally i refer to is Prince Imrahil. The idea of this deck is to get imrahil into play very quickly and then just ditch Folco Boffin to ensure we stay in secrecy, but keep a third hero.

HOW TO GET IMRAHIL INTO PLAY

There are three ways to do this. Two are great early on which is the strategy.

1) Timely Aid to get him into play so we can ditch folco

2) Sneak Attack him into play and then discard folco before the end of the phase so he doesnt go back to your hand because he no longer is an ally (this does work, because he loses the ally cardtype he no longer is a target for sneak attacks ability so he will stay in play)

3) pay for him. This is easier with a song of travel on folco so we can spend his resources still

Strategy

Stay under engagement costs early if possible, until you can set up a decent board with rosie and timely aid. Rosie and sam are best friends (also married) and they are great with defending enemies that come up. Glorfindel and imrahil can attack back for the most part and get the job done, unless you have some big allies out.

Questing should not be a big problem just try and find a light of valinor early.

In your opening hand look for imrahil and sneak attack or a timely aid, light of valinor, and a rosie cotton is always wonderful to have. Dont stress if you dont see all of those cards, but know a way to get imrahil into play is the most important thing you can do.

SMALL COMBOS

->If you sneak attack an imrahil into play do it after questing that way you will have a ready hero with better stats up if you use folco's ability

->Rosie cotton is amazing with sam, just give him any stat plus two

->Arwen works well with jubayr by giving a defense boost

->If you ever have to chump, do it with the refugee since they would leave play anyways

And thats the deck, simple right? Side note your score will be typically good with this deck if you care about that
