Fire, Blood, and Hobbitses

Description

*Note: Replace with Tactics Éowyn.

This is a two deck Fellowship built around turning Dúnhere into a marauder in the staging area with Gondorian Fire while Denethor equipped with Blood of Númenor sits back to defend the homelands. The first deck concentrates on building up large sums of resources for the two heroes to share; then unleashing Dúnhere to take out enemies in the staging area with ease.

The second deck provides the questing power, card draw, and threat reduction to make the whole package work. Spirit Pippin finally finds a home here by helping to provide the targets for Dúnhere. You can let the second deck engage extra enemies to kick them back to the staging area without needing to defend. The first deck can then snipe them off with only a small threat cost. That threat cost can be mitigated with Merry and the other threat reduction cards in the second deck.

Don't forget that the Errand-rider's can be used in two important ways; 1) to push resources to whichever hero needs them for combat, but also to push resources to the 2nd deck since it lacks any kind of resource acceleration.

Deck one should mulligan for Steward of Gondor, deck two is more flexible depending on the quest requirements.

For those averse to using Outlands, they are only in the second deck for their questing power, just replace them with low cost questing allies.
