A Red Dawn

This is a thematic fellowship designed around the ride of the Rohirrim to the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. It is largely focused around powering up several heroes - notably Théoden.

The Tactics/Spirit deck is strong at questing right out of the gate. With a Feint or Golden Shield in the starting hand, Éowyn can remove even a moderately difficult enemy from play, allowing an early respite to build up a board presence. With a little bit of build-up, it becomes highly capable in combat as well, able to take on even the most powerful enemies.

The Leadership/Spirit deck provides passive stat boosts, resource generation, staging area control, shadow cancellation, healing, and further support for questing. The side quests are actually integral parts of the deck, and Gather Information should often be used to prioritize getting them into the victory display.

Detailed descriptions of the decks and their interactions are given in the individual deck notes.
