strategy:

try to play a Gandalf every round preferable with galadriel so he can quest for free and be ready for combat.

this can be done by using Elf-friend + an event or The Elvenking to get Gandalf back on hand to play again next round. with bard you get the Elf-friend also back in hand, so it can be done every round after if enough res is availaible.

in this fellowship you are expected to have 2 sets of cards (need 6 Elf-friend, 6 Sneak Attack, 6 Resourceful, 6 Gandalf, 6 Timely Aid) if only 1 set is avaailaible these cards have to be replaced, and its perhaps better to have only 1 deck in secrecy.

order of things to optimize:

0.use Daeron's Runes if no Gandalf or Timely Aid is in hand

1. if galadrieldeck has Timely Aid play in the planning, hope for Gandalf
2. if galadrieldeck has Gandalf in hand, play it (possible with Denethor even without Steward of Gondor or Resourceful
3. if 1 or 2 is done play Elf-friend on him nevertheless from who, if no one has Elf-friend or the res can be used better play Born Aloft if possible
4. if galadrieldeck has no gandalf, play Timely Aid with bard-deck, if no aid, and gandalf in hand, use Captain's Wisdomto play gandalf
5. if Steward of Gondor is in hand, play on Galadriel
6. both play Resourceful if able
7. if no Steward of Gondor check if Errand-rider can help

sometimes a Sneak Attack Gandalf in the ressource-phase help with cards or threadreducing to play a gandalf in planning.

end of combat:

use one of the events or The Elvenking to get (exhausted)gandalf + Elf-friend back or use Born Aloft if in play
