We Quest, You Fight (Modified)

Modified version of my previously published Fellowship "We Quest, You Fight".

With this version I tried to solve the biggest issue I had with the previous version: the high starting threat of the support deck and the need of an early Elrond's Counsel.

I kept the original description of the combat deck.

Allies Are Gathering Fast (Slightly modified version from my previous published one)

Combat focused deck based around resource generation and having a swarm of allies on the table as quickly as possible.

You want to quest with Théodred to trigger his Response, and with Hirgon to use his discount. Théodred resource can be assigned based on cards in hand.

Having allies early on allow you to deal with enemies quite early in the game, triggering Mablung response at least once a turn (ideally twice) (A card I considered was Son of Arnor so to potentially add 3 resources to Mablung in one turn and to remove one enemies from the staging area - I might try sometimes but the 3 cost puts me off a little...).

Other notes on allies:

• Guthlaf gets both his discount and sentinel traits;
• Envoy of Pelargir is great and you can target any heroes in your line-up;
• You can chump Squire of the Citadel with no regrets, and he leaves another resource to play with;
• Soldier of Gondor is great for card drawing. This deck features 13 Gondor allies so chances to draw one ally are high.
• Angbor the Fearless is a good 2 cost/2 willpower ally that can help with questing early in the game.

A Very Good Tale will keep the swarm coming.

Lift Your Spirit, Sam

The deck does most of the card draw as the combat deck struggles with it. Lore cards are included as you always expect to have Nenya on Galadriel when this hero is in play. Galadriel herself can draw a card for a player. Ancient Mathom can be effective but less predictable. Pseudo-card draw with Stand and Fight can help this deck with combat or defence if the ally comes from the other deck.

This deck is not to do the classic Hobbit stuff, so only few dedicated Hobbit cards are included. Hobbit Pipe can be handy considering the few copies of The Galadhrim's Greeting and Elrond's Counsel (...and Dwarven Tomb for recursion).

Horn of the Mark will actually go to the other deck to Théodred as in that deck there are 21 allies that share a trait with him!

Heir of Mardil loses a bit his value, but paired with Théodred, it can go well with Galadriel if an Unexpected Courage is not drawn.

I played this a few times against the Troll, and it did very well. Looking forward to test it against the Saga once I am done with my current campaign!

Happy Questing All and please let me know of any suggestions or modifications to do :)
