Hi all,

am i right considering to put in a deck (vs Hero of course) 3 copy of "Lidless Eye" AND 3 copies of "Sauron"? Of course i can play just one of them as it is still a manifestation, but can i put all 6 in the deck, correct?

To be honest, it would seem a bit overkill to put all 6 in the deck though. If you draw 1 in your first hand, that means you have 5 wasted cards in your deck now. Maybe consider adding cards to help cycle the deck quicker, that way you can get 1 of the 3 you put in the deck in the first few turns, and it's not so many wasted cards.

Just my 2 cents...

I'm playing a Minion deck that includes 3x Lidless Eye and 1x Sauron. It works pretty good: I usually have one of such cards at 2nd turn. Besides, in this way I can have "Sauron" cards (Eye never sleeping, The Great eye) right in deck without needing to sb them after playing Lidless eye.

I don't think it would be a waste to include 3 Lidless Eye and 3 Sauron cards. 1st of all your deck is already smaller than other decks (assuming you stick to 30/30 because your avatar cards count as resource cards. 2nd drawing your avatar early is a big advantage, and there are many times I've played a game and waited until almost fully through my deck before drawing one of my 3 wizard cards. Having twice as many avatar cards makes this situation extremely unlikely. 3rd once you have Lidless Eye/Sauron in play your deck will speed up because you can sideboard every turn and you have more influence to play characters and possibly hold more cards in hand. With these advantages you could increase the size of your deck to 33/33 and not really lose any speed. Still 6 may be overkill, but having 4 or 5 I think would certainly not be.
