Some comments on the deck:
This deck usually dunks in 3 or 4 turns.
To start with your Avatar is extremely strong. Radagast is insanely good protected with 3 Flatter a Foe, 3 Dire Negotiations and 2 And Forth He Hastened.
Ok, the downside of starting your avatar is that you cannot play many characters from the beginning, but this can be easily compensated with those 3 A Chance Meeting in the deck. A bit laughable IMO is that you can play the Scroll normally at the site where you are going to dunk (i.e. The Under-forges).

An example play:
1st round: Radagast moves to Gondring's Lair to play a Gold Ring. He either meets another character from the deck in Rivendell or there will be a chance meeting at Gondring's Lair otherwise. Cirdan moves to Telpemar to get something helpful out of the deck (Scroll, Rings, ...) with Tokens of Goodwill or Far-sight.
2nd round: Ragagast's company moves to Malgolodh's Cave to play another Gold Ring (A Chance Meeting with Frodo). Cirdan receives a Token of Goodwill or looks far ahead.
3rd round: With a Flight Unmarked Radagast's company travels to The Under-forges to play the Scroll of Isildur, test the rings and finally dunk with the help of Lure of MECCG or Old Friendship.
- The End -
