Right then!
The point of this deck is to use Guided by Fate and every single card it affects. I went through a lot of iterations of this, and I like this one by far the best.
It will work best in multiplayer; once you have 3 or 4 players in a fellowship you're fairly well guaranteed to draw anything that Guided by Fate puts near the top; but it does work even at lower player counts.
Card choices:
-
We want to be in Lore for the song package. I went with Spirit as a secondary sphere but I could see this in mono-Lore (although at that point color-fixing with songs would be less reliable).
-
We need a Dunedain for Ranger Summons. Beravor is a dunedain, and also handles all of our card draw needs.
-
We need a Hobbit for Tom Bombadillo!. Fatty Bolger or Pippin would both work well for this. I went with Fatty because Beravor has our card draw handled.
-
We need a Noldor or Silvan for Flight to the Sea. The best looking choices are Galadriel, Arwen Undómiel and Glorfindel. Glorfindel is low-threat and unlocks all the crazy stuff he does.
-
We need eagle allies for Flight of the Eagles. Honestly, having both Vassal of the Windlord and Wilyador is probably overkill, but neither is really wasted as a 1-shot effect.
-
Lastly, we need color fixing. I was trying to get this in a bunch of ways (eg Amarthiúl and Elrond), but wasn't impressed. The song package feels surprisingly reliable between Drinking Song (with a hobbit hero, of course) and Rivendell Minstrel, and generates a good amount of resources along the way.
A play note - try to save A Test of Will for effects that shuffle the encounter deck.
Have fun!!
EDIT I realised after publishing this that Shadow of the Past is obviated by the second ability on Guided by Fate. Haven't decided what to put in instead.
