This is a cute little Hero vs. hero deck that I’ve played about 4 times. It has a 75% win record, which means it’s not good enough for me. But it might be good enough for some fun for someone else!
Starting Cards:
Elrond / Cram
Thrain / Cram
8 common characters
In Deck:
Gloin
Balin
Whoever your opponent has in his starting company or is likely to have in his deck.
Resources:
3 Vilya
3 Saw Further and Deeper
3 Smoke Rings
3 Longbottom Leaf
3 Risky Blow
3 New Friendship
3 Old Friendship
3 Hundreds of Butterflies
2 Marvels Told
2 A Chance Meeting
1 Orcrist
1 Wormsbane
Hazards:
Go for a mixed bag of stuff, but primarily focus on influence and corruption. Especially recommended are:
Alone and Unadvised
Balance of things
Seized by Terror
Undead/Faces of the Dead
Foolish Words
Stormcrow
Key Sideboard Cards:
White Tree Combo (including RotK so you can ACM for gorn under Vilya’d Elrond at MT)
Gollum/One Ring/Scroll
Big MP cards
MT
Play Tips:
Influence something away each turn. Hopefully don’t get hit by Unhappy Blows. ACM for Gloin or Balin. ACM for a 3-MP character under Elrond on the last turn. Pray that your opponent doesnt have lots of Wizard’s Laughter.
