true colours of rohan

nr 2 of the true colours fellowships

it can be played with one set of cards orc. in the sideboard are some suggestions if Alep should be integrated (and it might be recomanded against hader quests or nightmare)

some little synergies and advices:

lore:

• decide which one of the 1-cost attachments you choose. if threadreducing is no problem, then the Keys of Orthanc give the best boost, if thread reducing is limited, then might be better to choose Strider if there are nasty travel-effect consider even Thrór's Map, grima is a litte secret library-user ;)
• there are some non-sphere-allies that can be plaed at first in the planning because of The Grey Wanderer
• mulligan for Resourceful Gildor's Counsel is an expensive card
• the Explorer's Almanac are your valuable tool against location deadlock
• play Deep Knowledge only if your mates agree or u have The Galadhrim's Greeting and can reset thread
• Self Preservation on Erkenbrand (for his ability)

spirit:

• the only deck who has trachery-cancel with A Test of Will
• recycle A Test of Will with Dwarven Tomb
• Unexpected Courage and Miruvor going to Erkenbrand
• try to play an ally every round to make the most of the discount of Théoden
• Thorongil is for Théoden or Éowyn
• sacrifice Éomund for heavy boost (let him die in combat, then all can strike back)
• Astonishing Speed for heavy questing

leadership:

• pile defenses on Erkenbrand with Armored Destrier, armors (get some from tactic-deck),Dúnedain Warning, Cram Unexpected Courage and Miruvor he should get enough defenses for the table.
• Ancestral Armor is playable 1. round because of Forth, The Three Hunters!
• big events for cruical rounds (Grim Resolve Strength of Arms )
• Campfire Tales good draw in multiplayer
• We Are Not Idle to reduce deck
• Gúthwinë is for Théoden or Éomer
• Diligent Noble can be done on heroes to get them Shining Shield or Valiant Sword (theoden, eomer, eowyn and theodred can get them without it) so mainly for Elfhelm and Erkenbrand
• Path of Need can be a gamechanger

tactic:

• weapons and armors for everyone specially with Open the Armory this helps leadership to flipp faster
• use Háma to recycle events
• Wait no Longer helps to get staging and perhaps less locations
