i cannot decide which one i prefer, perhaps you can help me. both are secrecy songdecks, with focus on willpowergenerating. i put them together in a fellwoship to relate them better to each other, it is also possible to play them as fellowship, but i asume 1 of them + a fightingdeck is usually better.

open for your opinions

erestor:

pro:

• fastest carddrawhero you can get
• inbuild discard (good for Elven-light
• Hobbit Pipe from the start (more carddraw with Elrond's Counsel
• 2 lore heroes from the start so more Love of Tales early possible
• The One Ring con go to Erestor with Inner Strength he is a good defender
• no need of Light of Valinor

contra:

• no effective use of A Test of Will (so not included)
• less mid/endgame willpower relating to the rosie-deck
• Song of Hope only playable after Song of Kings is played

beravor-rosie

pro:

• keep drawn cards
• doublequest possible (MotK) Rosie Cotton with Fast Hitch
• A Test of Will playable
• all 3 spheres from the start makes Rivendell Scout and Song of Hope possible from the start

contra:

• less cards than Erestor
• need Light of Valinor
• only 1 target for Love of Tales from the start
• less possible defense with The One Ring at (MotK) Rosie Cotton

playing advice for both:

• mulligan for Love of Tales
• try to play a 2nd Love of Tales (need a Song of Wisdom before in the rosiedeck)
• try to play Fireside Song in the first 2 rounds (on rosie in the beravordeck, on Bilbo Baggins if he had Love of Tales else Folco Boffin
• Drinking Song and Daeron's Runes helps to get 2nd Love of Tales or desired song
• Galadhrim Minstrel get you the missing song (mostly Fireside Song or Song of Wisdom Song of Travel
• play Elrond's Counsel before you use Drinking Song

for the rosiedeck:

• consider add Gandalf's Search + Sneak Attack for more effectiveness
