Just a minor change from the previous version of this deck, I removed the Magic Ring and added the Silver Harp.

I think this will be my last tweak, I'm pretty happy about how the deck performs. Glamdring is probably the remaining card I use the least, but in some scenarios it is a nice to have... so, it stays. :)

Heroes:

• Círdan the Shipwright
  • Narya
  • Silver Circlet
  • Silver Harp
  • Unexpected Courage
• Glorfindel
  • Light of Valinor
  • Asfaloth
  • Glamdring
  • Rivendell Blade
• (MotK) Erestor
  • Messenger of the King
  • Stone of Elostirion

Notes:

• Mulligan for Light of Valinor.
  • If it does not appear, we still have Círdan, Erestor and the Elven-lights to continue drawing cards.
  • Elven-light synergizes pretty well with Erestor's ability. You will get 2 new cards by spending 1 resource.
• Narya's access to is not that important. There is no rush to get it.
  • We can wait until we have a couple of allies, or even some readying option for Círdan, before playing it.
• Use Círdan and Erestor discard actions to play and cards (via Stand and Fight and Reforged).
  • Erestor's discard action is better to be performed at the beginning of the combat phase.
    • Discard attachments for Warden of the Havens +2
  • Keep in mind that we can also play off-sphere attachments (like Asfaloth and the Blade) with Galadriel.
    • We need that response. Do not use Stand and Fight on her!
  • Only play Elrond when his response is really needed.
    • He is our healer and our only choice to remove nasty condition attachments as well.
  • Silver Harp is here in case we don't have a clear discard for Círdan's action.
• Guarded attachments: Use Reforged to play them from the discard pile.
  • Play it after quest resolution for avoiding questing costs.
  • Typically, you'll play only one of them per game. Glamdring is great for enemy-focused scenarios, although I typically play the Stone as its card draw is more consistent.
• Guardian of Rivendell's discard cost can be quite annoying if we still don't have a guarded atachment or Prepare for Battle in play, to boost card draw... having an empty hand would be a possibility.
  • On the other hand, Eregion Survivor will benefit from that.
• Gather Information to find 1x cards like Silver Circlet, Silver Harp, or guarded attachments.

Sideboard:

• I'm not a big fan of the Sailors of Lune.
  • They can be played on the same turn they are revealed, but so can the Eregion Survivors, and I do prefer them more.
• Mariner's Compass can detach guarded cards from locations without exploration.
  • It was originally in this deck, but I barely used it for anything other than boosting Warden's .
• Thorongil would be an interesting option.
  • It provides access to Erestor/Glorfindel versions.
  • Thorongil's utility will be even better with ALEP's Glorfindel ().
• Will of the West is also an option since it is not so hard to have this deck empty by the mid/end game.
  • On the other hand, if this happens, we still have the Lords of the Eldar to play with each turn.
