This deck doesn’t try for The Great Hunt or lots of Dragon Factions.  It’s just a quick little safe Eriador deck that might or might not get a single dragon faction.  On the other hand, it’s unexpectedly fast and high-scoring.  Give it a try!

Play Tips:

Leave Halbarad behind, of course.  He brings in ioreth under him.  They squat, play MT, and get wolves after Brood hits the table.  If you want to be a little more dangerous, try playing with the Palantir as well (for the extra hand size).  Meanwhile, the 4 guys have some fun in eriador: all have prowess >4, are warriors, and 3 are rangers as well.  Use Weathertop and Ost-in-Edhil for Wolves.  Get Tom, rangers at their respective sites.  Grab the axe or sapling at Barrow Downs.  Carn Dum is a nice stop for Orcrist, since gulla can let you in.  Mischief up :B: and store sapling/play white tree on your last turn for a big 7 MPs.  All in all, a fun, cool deck!
