Singing Silvans

Description

Deck I sets up song economy through lots of card draw, Aragorn gets everybody paid while eating all the threat and Deck II benefits from the singing riches while bringing the main defender and all the hit-and-hide-attackers.

Deck I originally had Glorfindel in there as card 50, but another option is to go with this setup instead for Deck I: https://ringsdb.com/deck/view/598373

Deck II, depending on the quest, you might want to add in Host of Galadhrim and take out some events (could be A Test of Will or maybe Feigned Voices): https://ringsdb.com/deck/view/598363

would consider Dúnedain Warning at the Thranduil -deck. would increase Vilya+ Nenya and O Lórien! to 3 reduce to so important ones to 1 [The Elvenking] (/card/19057) or Daeron's Runes (with the Drinking Song you have enough shuffeling/alter cards in hand) to make room for the additional cards

i personally like more Galadhrim Weaver to get it early and to increase the density of allies for better The Tree People

would add 3 Gandalf at aragorn would perhaps discard the Leather Boots and Silver Lamp

Good suggestions.

Some extra armor (like Dúnedain Warning) for Thranduil is a good idea, especially for certain quests.

Silver Lamp is one of these cards that is so extremely powerful in the right circumstance, but I almost always end up cutting it, even in this deck with all the card draw, where I only need on copy. Still think Leather Boots in a 4-player game is a good and cheap ready, but for sure an option to cut it.

Might also want to add another A Burning Brand.

Silver Lamp is just so expensive. and with only 1 you never know if you get it and for a "nice to have" it is to expensive. specially if you could otherwise use Hasty Stroke and cancel a nasty shadow. the lamp only let you know what is coming. so if i am afraid of shadow i would include some canceling or chump or use Feigned Voices what you allready have included. i have never seen a solid Silver Lamp in play

btw. for silvans you have Quicker Than Sight nice to use with Galadhrim Weaver or Galion

True, forgot about Quicker Than Sight, which I used before. It is a great card, especially when this setup has you floating cash by round 3-5, so you really want even more ways to pop the Silvans back in your hand.

My idea with Silver Lamp was the combined strength of A Burning Brand and Silver Lamp. Especially since this fellowship much prefers to stack the enemies on Thranduil. But there is usually enough attack to dispatch of most of them (and with one enemy there is no point in the lamp) + Galadriel might be exhausted.

With the updated decks, this fellowship feels really strong, and there is even easily room for adapting to unique quests. The universal effects of Love of Tales and Celeborn really shine: ringsdb.com ringsdb.com

2-card-combo for 4 res....

and how often you will make it work? i think you are better with 2 Hasty Stroke in the end (or the mentioned #Quicker Than Sight)

specially if you can Feint or Feigned Voices dangerous enemies. just for "knowing" shadoweffects 2 res and a card is to much in my experience.

Yea, sadly I agree. Maybe in a 4 player Dunedain build with lots of monsters on the board.
