Premise

My thematic version of a Hobbit deck including Fellowship Frodo. I included my favorite one here, but you might swap him depending on preference/quest/fellow players. The idea here is pretty simple - use your many heroes (and thus many resources) to gain a huge tempo advantage over the encounter deck. This is helped by Folco Boffin and Pippin who allow you to avoid enemies for a very long time.

How To Play

I usually look for card draw early on. With the amount of resources you have, Legacy of Númenor is a nice bonus but not as needed as Peace, and Thought or Frodo's Intuition early on, without which you run out of cards rather quickly.

Considerations

Bywater Shirriff is good if you don't want to risk Sting, Halfast Gamgee almost made the cut but just lost out to Legacy. Warden of Healing is great if you face damage issues, but direct damage is usually not that prevalent in Saga quests which is why I ultimately decided against including it. Friend of Friends is a very novel idea if you want to make the whole thing even more thematic. Double Back is not needed for solo play but becomes very attractive in multiplayer (to offset your Legacy if nothing else).

Enjoy!!!

First - thank you a lot for the deckbox, it's an absolutely incredible project :) .

I have a couple of questions:

  • who is the target for hobbit ponny? Is it Merry in case you don't reveal any enemies?
  • I've seen spirit Pippin mostly panned as one of the worst heroes in the game, not much other choices for a spirit hero, but do you actually use his ability as you mentioned?
  • Given that you built it specifically for saga, you would never use Folco's ability, right?
  • Lore Pippin and spirit Fatty would increase the starting threat by 5, do you think it's too much?

Thank you again for all your work on this project!
