This deck is making use of an old favorite card with Imladris Stargazer and Dwarf and Noldor discard mechanics to control the top card in your discard pile to boost Gaeronel and Noldor allies. Relic of Nargothrond is very powerful to boost Gaeronel or Warden of the Havens and just the consistent attachment card this deck archetype needed.

Controlling the top card in your discard pile:

• Círdan the Shipwright should ideally drop an event at the beginning of the round
• Imladris Stargazer to basically play the top 5 cards of your deck face up
• Zigil Miner timing is important here so you can discard events, attachments or allies when needed
• Relic of Nargothrond for the defense phase
• Imladris Caregiver can also be used flexibly to drop a needed card type
• Lords of the Eldar is your endgame card, that you can play every second round mining it with a Zigil Miner once it gets placed on the bottom of your empty deck and grant the resource to Círdan the Shipwright

Boosting your questers (Event card on top):

Círdan the Shipwright and Wandering Exile can drop a event cards from your hand at the right timing. Elven-light is preferred for that. This boosts Gaeronel and Sailor of Lune.

Boosting your defenders (attachment on top):

Relic of Nargothrond really is the primary card for that. You usually drop at least one to boost a defender for the rest of the round. Further boosting can be done via Arwen Undómiel and Narya to bring you defenders Gaeronel and Warden of the Havens to 6 defense with sentinel.

Boosting your attackers (ally on top):

Together with Imladris Stargazer you can use Thorin Stonehelm reaction to drop an ally in the discard pile and boost also Gaeronel and Mithlond Sea-watcher. Narya can boost the latter to 4 attack with ranged.
