Aragorn and Arwen wreak havoc in Middle Earth.

This deck is built around the enhanced synergy that Tale of Tinúviel brings to Aragorn and Arwen.

The main strategy here is two-fold:

Arwen: Light of Valinor, secrecy Resourceful, and Elven-light will get the resources and cards flowing. Arwen's spot-resourcing ability lets you choose each round if you need or . LoV allows her to be ready for Tale of Tinúviel or the occasional defense/attack support.

Aragorn: Unexpected Courage and double Dagger of Westernesse combined with secrecy-level threat and Aragorn's defense weakening have him questing or defending and then swinging for up to 8 effective damage. Tale of Tinúviel with Arwen has him reaching up to 11 for particularly tough bosses.

Allies: Celduin Traveler, even out of secrecy, is a good deal and staple here, especially solo. Defender of Rammas eases the pressure off of Aragorn while Galadhon Archer and Fornost Bowman support. Elven Jeweler can get extra Elven-lights into the discard, and Galadriel's Handmaiden helps with secrecy.

General Tips: Note that Elven Jeweler, Fornost Bowman, and Lindir can pinch-hit for Tale of Tinúviel to ready a hero. Also remember that Tale of Tinúviel can stack, so with some careful planning, a Courage'd Aragorn can boost Arwen to 7/5/6. Dwarven Tomb to repeat Elrond's Counsel and Tale of Tinúviel.

It's not too hard to have most of the engine up within 1 or 2 turns and it builds on itself pretty quickly.

Opening hand: Look for some combination of Courage, LoV, Resourceful, Elven-light, or Elrond's Counsel.

I consider this the final version of this deck. Special thanks to @authraw for the helpful suggestions tuning it. Critiques and recommendations still accepted, of course.
