"You will own nothing, and you will be happy"

As the title suggests this deck is all about 'subscription' allies, and titles (pun intended). You either get allies for free or pay one resource to get them onto the table for a short period. The point is for allies to have same traits as Lothíriel and Prince Imrahil (Rohan/Gondor/Noble/Warrior).

Several allies in this deck are unique and for some I have included all of their copies depending on their usefulness because of how Lothíriel works: She puts some allies into play for free during questing phase for their effects and willpower, and then those allies are shuffled back into the deck.

For combat phase things get a bit dicey as you largely rely on Prince Imrahil's 5-card-scrying to get good Gondor/Warrior/Noble for blocking or attacking which is especially important if you have quested with Prince Imrahil. To alleviate this, I have included two copies of Imladris Stargazer. And as a final bonus, Éomer will always have at least 5 attack for attacking enemies because how allies are constantly leaving the game.

You get a like just for the deck name!

Galadriel's ability doesn't trigger if you cheat her into play with Imrahil or Lothiriel.

Responding to @tomdidiot, Galadriel’s ability does not trigger using Imrahil, but it does if you use Lothíriel. Imrahil summons from the deck, so it doesn’t trigger Galadriel. But Lothíriel summons from your hand, which does trigger Galadriel.

@ruinaur I know the wording in this game can be a little vague at times, but there is a difference between "To play a card" VS "To put a card into play".

"To play a card6" means paying the resource cost , where as "Putting a card into play" by-passes the cost of playing the card, but typically comes with a condition, e.g. shuffling the card into your deck at the end of the phase.

So even with Lothíriel's response, you are still "putting Galadriel into play" which does not count as "playing Galadriel from your hand".

An example of a card that's worded specifically to count as "playing from hand" is Need Brooks No Delay. This card reads "... Then, play the set aside card for no cost as if it were in your hand."
