Gandalf the Wandering Wizard is renowned for his vast knowledge and powerful sorcery. The Servant of the Secret Fire can vanquish foes with ease. He’s the heart and soul of this deck and is extremely proficient at questing, attacking, and defending.
Wizard Pipe, which can be found with Bilbo Baggins, is integral to getting the most out of Gandalf’s ability to play the top card of your deck. Since Gandalf’s ability can be used once per phase, putting an event on top of your deck allows you to use his amazing ability multiple times each round.
In addition to Wizard Pipe, Galadriel can find other important attachments you’ll want to put on Gandalf, such as Gandalf's Staff and all copies of Unexpected Courage. Wizard Pipe can set up powerful combinations, such as putting a card with a high cost (Grim Resolve) on top of your deck, then playing Flame of Anor to ready Gandalf and give him +5 attack for the phase. For each Unexpected Courage on him, he can ready and then attack for 8 damage!
Éowyn is very efficient at questing, and is a great hero to play Celebrían's Stone on. This deck has several cards that you only need a single copy of in play, and Éowyn gives you a use for the extra copies by discarding them with her ability.
