This is the tactics deck I build to introduce new players in the game and that can be played in the fellowship with its fellow Beginner Decks. To see on what I focused for these decks check out the fellowship's description.

This deck focuses on the main aspect of the leadership sphere, ressource generation and ally swarming. I decided to use a Gondor swarm, cause it is more straight forward than Dale or Silvans, can be build mono-sphere and has well known book/movie characters in Boromir and Denethor. There is some synergy with allies entering/leaving play, and while Gandalf + Sneak Attack/Reinforcements is combo that is a bit tricky to see right away, it's cool when a new player discovers it.

Strength of Arms (especially in combination with Faramir) is a card than can create a big and memorable and swing in the game, which I think is a cool experience for new players.

To not make the deck too complicated I left out Herald of AnĂ³rien with it's optional Doom and Pillars of the Kings that causes a game with unusual high threat.
