Congrats on the victory. Well deserved.

Hm. Good Meal looks like it could be trimmed (it can only affect Sneak Attack here), Resourceful is too expensive outside of secrecy (it takes 4 turns to pay back what was paid for it), and Elf-stone doesn't have that many good targets after cutting Treebeard (due to card pool, I understand). In addition, Tom Bombadillo! is chancy, and Shadow of the Past doesn't really look like it has any outstanding targets, at least as far as I can see on Hall of Beorn. I do like the inclusion of Dagger of Westernesse and War Axe as potential replacements for Rivendell Blade should you lose it at the start (alongside 4/5 of your deck, Caleb, what were you thinking). That, in my opinion, is one of the keys to defeating Nurn; build in redundancies so that the loss of 1 specific card isn't crippling.

@AlasForCeleborn, what would you repalce Good Meal with? In my collection all I cold think of is maybe a Song or another Wilyador.

Resourceful isn't as bad as it seems, I tend to have a lot of resources piling up in the wrong hero's pool, and want Elrond who doesn't have Steward attached to get more I can play it on him. He can pay for all allies in the deck as well as generate healing with Warden, or keep Wilyador in.

Elf-stone could be cut, maybe for another Quickbeam? He is pretty useful for taking down Ulchor and another shot at getting him would have potential. The only thing is No Quarter castle side quest cloud discard him for good.

Tom Bombadillo! and Shadow of the Past work together, in case Bombadil is a shadow card. As for Bombadil being chancey, I go through the encounter deck once or twice in a 20+ round game ;). And Shadow of the Past is ok if a treachery is on the top of the discard pile and you and you have A Test of Will in your hand, or an enemy is on top of the discard pile, and you can't afford a location or treachery (those are pretty nasty in Nurn).

Overall thanks for the suggestions, anything that makes Nurn easier is appreciated!

@Truck, if you're going to keep Resourceful, maybe replace the Good Meal with a 2nd copy. For Elf-stone, another Quickbeam could work, or possibly a copy of Ghân-buri-Ghân, if you have him.

I could debate Tom Bombadillo! all day, but if you find it works for you, feel free to disregard my theorizing and keep it. Ditto for Shadow of the Past; you actually have experience of the scenario, I'm just guessing based off of what I expect happens in the quest.

Boots from Erebor is another card that I might consider cutting, though at the same time I understand why it's in there (I hate No Quarter with the fury of a 1000 suns) and I can't really think of a better alternative.

@AlasForCeleborn Boots from Erebor could be cut, but I don't have the widest variety of cards. Should I replace with, as I said above, Songs? Or maybe more Wilyador?

@Truck Is there a reason for not going with Vilya? I don't own the Vengeance of Mordor cycle, so I don't know much about the encounter cards.

@GreenWizard This is based off a deck from Vision of the Palantir blog, and that deck did not have Vilya, and Elrond would only very rarely be able to pull it off. Also your deck is normally around 10-12 cards, so card draw is not needed.

@Truck Gotcha

@GreenWizard here is the original deck, only I added Good Meal and cut Robin Smallburrow.
