As mentioned I won 4:2 in the 3rd round vs. mario/Lord-Elrond (MP's: 41:34).
We troubled us in the end of the game with "Echoes of the Song" and "Call of home".
I played my "Await the Onset" in the last turn. If I could play it 1 turn earlier, the success would be much clearer, because in the last turn my Bombur with Tom Bombadil lost a "Call of home" and in Mario's next (last) turn Tom joined the Lord-Elrond company :wink:

My Success in round 2 vs. Frank/Lord-Balin was a 4:2 too with MP's 38:26 in the end, while I forgot to brought inn my "Await the Onset" at the right time :cry:

In round 1 I lost vs. Nico/Lord-Galadriel with 4:2 (MP's 35:32). That was a very close game! After Nico Called I had 1 last turn to play "Await the Onset" and "Mischief in a Mean Way" = 7 MP's, but I had to realized that 1 turn before I had to discarded my 6th charakter after a spider-attack! so I just catched 2 MP's instead of 7 in the last turn :evil:

All in all it was a very excited tournament and the first time I played FW Gandalf and that in a DC shape :D

Much thanks to Nico for this experience, who gave me a kick out of the door...
Cheers,

...The decklist is from the 3rd round, but I played all 3 rounds FW Gandalf.

After the first round I got Tom Bombadil to it and more allies and faction in Eriador, but mainly I stayed to my Gondor stratecy.

Also thanks to my teammate: Fernando / Donepi !!!
...and of course to all other players + Alex who participated in that GCCG tournament :)

In any case an enjoyable time! In the end lucky Pirates won!
So here is my Elflord Elrond deck as I played it in the last round.
Actually the only game I lost.
Big mistake I forgot to put in ORDER OF JEWEL AND RING-SMITHS (which was in the deck in the first rounds)
But the real neckbreaker was the fact that I had no possibillity to get rid of the many lure cards Heiko played.
(Only tapping and/or good rolls).
We should go for a new turney soon after Lure. A nice Format. Thanks to Nico, Eric and all other players.

1st round I played a FW Gandalf in Rohan/Anórien deck. 2nd round I changed to FW Pallando in Eriador. Here you got my DCFF SLC Elflord Thranduil One Ring deck from 3rd round.
To "dunk" with Thranduil you need to play Against All Counsel (from the Firstborn set) on Thranduil while at his home site and bearing The One Ring. Against All Counsel is twofold. On the one hand your chances to win increase with each character with a mind 8 or greater at Thranduil's site. On the other hand you make an additional corruption check for each such character, not easy with the 7 CP the One Ring gives. For me only 7 CP was way too easy, though :wink: . That's why I played When I Know Anything on Thranduril for an additional CP :wink: (stupid me).
Thranduil managed to get The One Ring out and played Against All Counsel. After Thranduil passed 5 CC he rolled for the game. Because I had 3 characters with mind 8 or 9 plus my Elflord (mind is considered 10) I would have needed a 7 to win. It was a roll of 3, though. The next round I tried again but the 3rd CC was a 5 an Thranduil was eliminated. Without When I Know Anything on him I would have passed this check! :cry:

That was a nice tournament with a great format !

Choosing Balin as Dwarf-Lord was obvious, because first round I drew all his 4 rare specific stage cards !
Round 1 and 2 I only had 1 copy of Balin.
Deck relies a lot on sideboard, so I decided to put him in starting company.
It was in fact a mistake because that wasn't very efficient.

Last round I had a second copy of Balin, thanks to Ernst.
So I put him no more in starting company, moreover because I built a sideboard machine :)

Starting company is the following :
- Dain (DF) with Cram, controlling Herion with Thrall of the Voice
- Fori the Beardless with Healing Herbs, controlling Bifur
- King's Advisor with Pipe

King's Advisor stays at Blue Mountain Dwarf-hold.
His main job is smoking, recycling the 2 Smoke Rings and the Pipe Weed with his Pipe.
Most important he has to take from discard His Beard Long and Forked.
His Beard Long and Forked belongs to Frerin, which may be played quickly thanks to his sister Dis.
Frerin may this way untap Balin for an additional access to sideboard.
Thus mid-deck it ensures access to sideboard thrice almost every turn !

Balin controls Frerin and King's Advisor with Crimson Hood.
First turn he must sideboard to discard His Beard Long and Forked, Carc, Attack-lord, King's Judge, Pathfinder (characters will be recycled with Son of Fundin).
Next sideboard Blue Mountain Dwarves which will be easily influenced by Frerin.
The only move for this company is to Deep Mines to take the sideboarded Noldo-lantern, Delver's Harvest and Earth-eater for 6 MPs.

Meanwhile main company plunders Orc-holds Carn Dum, Mount Gram, Mount Gundabad, Goblin-gate, The Under-grottos, Moria for items and Gollum.
With Khazadshatur, Mithril-Coat, Enruned Shield (and naturally weapons) in deck, it would have been fun if I had drawn Clad for War !

Main mission of deck is to rebuild Mount Gundabad with Return to Old Dwellings and Kingdom of Old Restored.
If needed Return to Old Dwellings may be recycled with son of Fundin.
Afterwards Folk of Durin should be influenced by Dain or King's Judge with the needed help of Lordly Presence.

Additionally main company should go to Lake-town to influence Men of Northern Rhovanion.
There a Noble Hound may be found, just as Carc from sideboard by Dain or another Longbeard.
Carc may be played too at Lonely Mountain where Enruned Shield should be played.

Fun part of hazards was the presence of every Troll leader, with Bert/Tom/William trio straight in deck, and Buthrakaur/Umagaur in sideboard.
Strong hazards are Lure of Power, Mouth of Sauron, and 2 Thief which were devastating against Eric.

First turn against Eric I had a nice hand with Return to Old Dwellings and a Smoke Rings, which I immediately used to sideboard Kingdom of Old Restored.
But I didn't expected a Redoubled Force !
So Mount-Gundabad didn't became a Dwarf-hold and I avoided Orc-holds and decided to play in Wilderland.
But next turn I didn't expected too the Lord of the Woods.
So before the disastrous move of Eric to the Lonely Mountain he had a strong lead 25 to 15 MPs.
Last part of the game was a nightmare to avoid Orc-holds, Lord of the Woods' area, and border-hold/land threatened by Thief ...
