Gandalf Guy 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

As always, Gandalf decks continue to dominate this game. Great deck man! I'll be sure to try it out!

great herosetup. add The One Ring and you have 3 additional card in your starthand and deck reduced by 4!

efficient. and with Gather Information and Word of Command you avoid many useless copies.

baseidea is very good and a alternative to the usual powerhouse gandalf-elrond, the deck needs imo much optimisation (if it wants to try some hard szenarios or nightmare )

• 3 Imladris Stargazer Zigil Miner real shines with them, and you get faster through your deck
• some defenseattachments like Dúnedain Warning and /or Gondorian Shield (can be played from the top with gandalf (perhaps not needed if playing with Inner Strength but against trolls/balrogs nice to have both)
• Hidden Cache even if you draw it, you can put it back with the pipe
• either Wingfoot or 1-2 Unexpected Courage more
• +2 A Test of Will
• consider 1 Dwarven Tomb replace 1 Will of the West more flexible use (e.g. reuse of The Galadhrim's Greeting or Defiant Challenge
• if using The One Ring replace Daughter of the Nimrodel with Well Preserved

would try to include more efficient allies, like:

• Rhovanion Outrider ( imo one of the best in the game)
• Treebeard

would discard:

• Rivendell Minstrel (to expensive and the ability for The Road Goes Ever On imo not worth it)
• Bofur (if you think you need his ability, include Courage Awakened usually its better to invest in permanent improvement)
• 2 Shadow of the Past expensive and of debateable use
• 2 Radagast's Cunning if you need it you might not have it and else it is a dead card in hand, imo to cornercase to use every game
• 2 Secret Paths (same)
• 3Galadhrim Minstrel

if there are places to fill (beside the named allies) go for more Rider of Rohan

Thanks for your suggestions and compliments. I made some changes last night after more plays and thought I'd update here:

1 x A Test of Will

1 x Daughter of the Nimrodel

Simple. I don't own it :)
