Grimbeorn's Elf Friends
troylow 23
Description
Elrond's deck is designed for Silvan bouncing and using Galadriel + Celeborn's ability to have allies quest for a huge amount. Play Host of Galadhrim for a Quest Push and the bonus is that you can use the non-exhausted elves for combat/chump blocking.
Mulligan for O'Lorien and Nenya.
Other uses: You can use Naith Guide to use Galadriel's ability for card draw and still have her quest.
Extra fun: Can consider putting Message For Elrond into the deck for some interesting card interactions between the two decks. This card will act as a fail-safe in some scenarios.
Grimbeorn's deck is designed to make use of Celeborn's extra stats and Thranduil's ability to play elfs without resource matching. Most of the time you would be playing allies only in the Combat Phase and would use the resource phase just for playing attachments.
Put Elf-Friend onto Grimbeorn and Elrond so that they can make use of Silvan Tracker to passively heal 2hp per round (due to Elrond). Elven Mail would be great on Greenwood Defender, Elrond, Celeborn and Grimbeorn (If u didnt draw Raiment of War early). Raiment of War can be used on Grimbeorn, Greenwood defenders mainly. If you want to be funny and the opportunity presents itself, you can attach raiment of war and elf-friend onto Defender of the Rammas. Blade Mastery can help save you from some nasty shadow effects, and can be used efficiently with Grimbeorn (though it is definitely the first thing I would remove if I want to add another card.) The weakness of this deck is nasty shadow effects as there is no shadow effect cancellation. Mulligan for Raiment of War and place it on Grimbeorn if possible.
This fellowship would benefit greatly if I can use more than 3 copies of allies and if Silverlode Archer and Defender Of The Naith wasn't so weak.
Updated based on feedback:
- Replace 2 Blade Mastery with 2 Beorn's Rage (Replace to Sterner Than Steel if you want shadow effect cancellation)
- Replace 2 Hithlain with 2 Light of Valinor
strong combo.
would add some Courage Awakened 1 for Galadriel and more for Grimbeorn the Old
the some Shining Shield could be of help, would replace Blade Mastery for it.
if something to boost Grimbeorn the Old is needed, Beorn's Rage is much better.
would not use Hithlain if it is worth to use soomething like this, i would prefer Explorer's Almanac there is enough questing around and its cheaper
