I tried a few combos to the new Dale Noble Bard son of Brand and Brand son of Bain. Spirit Beregond closes a gap which this new hero pair features: early defense, because of a high starting threat (19+x!). On the other hand Bard offers acces to the Gondorian Shield, that makes Beregond to one of the best defenders in the whole cardpool.

In my first version I used Steward of Gondor but I realised soon, that I benefit more from item-attachments and added copies of Spare Hood and Cloak and the Mariner's Compass.

The oldfashion sneaky-Gandalf-combo performs great in this deck. If I the card-draw stops, because I don't have attachments, he gives acces to cards. While Beregond stabilises my threat-level, Gandalfs responses to doomed-cards.

All in all this deck is fun to play and worked very well against the Journey along the Anduin or the new Poros quest.

Really like this deck. Beregond is one of my favorite characters. I would probably drop a few cards to add in Armored Destrier and Steed of the Mark, as Beregond is an unshakable beast with the destrier.

@pconnors great hints. I will try the Armored Destrier. One thing to concern is, that this deck needs attachments that can also be played on allies to feed the card-draw engine.

Very true. I haven't played with this deck type much, so that part doesn't click for me yet. I'd just include the destrier then. I'd probably drop a Map and a Shield. to include two destriers.

My only fear is the ability to draw the King of Dale - do you find that to be an issue as your card draw is dependant on either Gandalf sneaking or not drawing the Dale allies that don't match your resources.

@The Broken MeepleYou are right, that card draw is the biggest issue in this deck. That's why I took out the Long Lake Trader and put in three copies of the Celduin Traveler. But all in all this deck works very well.
