No shame in that - it's tough! I run Will of Steel which helps in theory against the second stage. But my experience is the typically the same, worn down from fighting slug then get overwhelmed by orcs.

Really like this - nice write up. A suggestion for you is Fair and Perilous. Gets Arwen to 4 Attack to help you take down slug in fewer attacks. Not a dead draw later on as it also helps against Gollum or just an annoying enemy you want rid of.

There is even...

It does indeed. My understanding is that it checks Willpower and Attack value at the point of playing the card and applies the appropriate bonus. So if you played Fair and Perilous on Arwen as you first two plays you get her to 7 attack....

Just spotted this gem! Masochistic as it sounds, I can't wait to give it a try. Love the concept and bonus points for putting Favor of the Valar in a deck!

Yeah totally! I've found that he fits super well in in decks with Leadership for the Stalwart ability on cards like Northern Survivor and Aragorn's Power (and or Spirit with Brooch and Courage). He does fit less in decks that feature heavy in Lore, though I think he still has a place in some...

Nice list! Favour of the Lady is a card that has grown on me quite a bit recently. It's very good on King of Carrion for the reasons you state. It's also something of a powerhouse when attached to Northern Survivor!

Many thanks@Vallandi.

Thanks @Zamomin!
