Resource Strategy:
Grab the Sapling, plant the White Tree and squat at Minas Tirith, using Fireworks to play four resources (3 Factions, 1 Item) there,
using Choice Of Luthien to grab the resources from the discard pile.
Many points are from the special category, keeping corruption points low.
Army Of The Dead as Backup plan.
Resource Tactic:
In case the initial draw contains at least one sapling, one to two cancelers and optimally one noble steed, head to Buhr Widu directly, discarding Cram.
Should the initial draw be lackluster, make the move to Lorien first, continue from there to either Buhr Widu or to Gobel Mirlond or Raider Hold to play the Sapling.
Gandalf's (played in Lorien) main job is side boarding, starting with the two Minas Tirith factions and the Palantir to the discard pile for Arwen to grab them later.
Longbottom Leaf and Smoke Rings for the rest, in the following order:
White Tree / Choice of Luthien / Return of the King / Fireworks / To Fealty Sworn / Align Palantir / Red Arrow / Riders Of Rohan / Hour of Need
Hiding can protect you squatting at Minas Tirith, before the Tree is planted.
Once Gandalf is joined by Galadriel of Glorfindel, the can make the move to find the Red Arrow (sites: Buhr Widu or to Gobel Mirlond or Raider Hold, depending where the Sapling has been played)
Towards the last 2-3 turns, everybody meets at Minas Tirith.
Hour Of Need with The Red Arrow make the Riders Of Rohan a auto-success.
Make use of Fireworks by the Wizard and the elf sages in conjunction with And Forth He Hastened
Hazard Strategy:
Playability - Playability and more Playability.
maxing out the hazard limit is the objective, since squatting at Minas Tirith makes the deck slow.
All cards with exception of the Morgul Horses can be played without any prerequisite.
Hazard Tactic:
Play the maximum amount of hazards every single round.
The Khamul machine (forced discard) can be very painful in scenario games, especially when executed back to back by using the Morgul Horse.
Surion should be turned face up in order to protect one selves at Minas Tirith.
Make use of Agent attacks where suitable, otherwise use the agents short events from the sideboard in case of need.
The key objective of the hazards is not to kill/hurt the opponent, but to increase the deck speed.
Any more questions ? Let me know.
