3 Player Rods of the Five

Local playgroup tried out these decks (along with a fourth player) to try out the new Rods of the Five player objective card. While the amount that each deck actually utilized the objective varied, The overall strength of these decks together seemed really solid. There never really seemed to be a moment where anyone got into any real trouble; there was a nice mix of ranged and sentinel from the Gandalf Radagast deck, Saruman did a lot of readying with not too much doomed leaking over into the other players, and there was even a round of questing when we got some particularly nasty encounter cards and failed questing, but the blue wizards mitigated almost all of the threat increase.
