Favorite Deck/ DoFP-Mûmak

[Wyrden333]

So this at least one of my favorite decks (mainly some of my favorite cultures and cards in one pot )
Sadly it is only Open and Austrian legal, only to play Faramir as Ring-bearer, but it shall be fun shan't it? Also the Fellowship is basically HumanHydra's one, but anyway.

Ring-bearer: Faramir, Bearer of Quality
Ring: The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles

Fellowship (36):
2x Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men
1x Legolas, Greenleaf (starting)
1x Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad
1x Galadriel, Keeper of Nenya
1x Bow of the Galadhrim
1x Long-knives of Legolas
1x Gwemegil
1x Vilya
2x Agility
2x Strength of Arms
2x The Last Alliance of Elves and Men
2x Aragorn, Defender of Free Peoples
1x Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith
1x Aragorn's Bow
1x Faramir's Bow
1x Ranger's Sword
2x Sword of Gondor
1x Ring of Barahir
3x Gondor Bowmen
2x Help in Doubt and Need
1x Éomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark
1x Éowyn, Lady of Ithilien(starting)
1x Brego
1x Firefoot
1x Éomer's Spear
1x Éowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade
1x Fortress Never Fallen

Shadow(36):
4x Desert Lord
4x Desert Stalker
4x Southron Assassin
4x Mûmak Chieftain
2x High Vantage
4x Mûmak
1x Ships of Great Draught
1x Bold Men and Grim
2x Line of Defense
2x Rallying Call
4x Seasoned Leader
4x Howl of Harad

Sites

Trollshaw Forest
Old Forest Road
Harrowdale
Caras Galadhon
City Gates
Steward's Tomb
Cavern Entrance
Emyn Muil
Dol Guldur


So, the Free Peoples I like most, because of cards like TMoR, LoI, QoEaM, DoFP, Gondor Bowmen.... It is for sure not super effective, but it does not have to be, does it?

The Shadow side is just Southron+Mumak+Cards like Assassin, Seasoned Leader...= <3

Feel free to do any advices.

Why does the ring-bearer have to be Faramir? Replace him with Boromir or Isildur and the deck doesn't change at all besides the loss of Faramir's Bow. Change the sites and you have yourself a Movie Block deck.

In fact, the only real reason Faramir would be better (in my mind) is if you started Legolas and Mablung, Soldier of Gondor. With a Ranger's Bow and Faramir's text, Mablung could literally kill any minion at any point in the game. A little maneuver phase protection (Ithilien Trap?) and you could just run a 9 companion deck anyways.

And, ironically, the Shadow I initially paired with my deck was Seasoned Leader Southrons (a bit different, though - with all the archers).

I can't shoot down that many smiley faces. They are going to overwhelm the Ring-bearer.

HumanHydra lost due to: The Ring-Bearer is dead
Wyrden333 is the winner due to: Last remaining player in game

No seriously,
what would be about this (keeping it Austrian/Open):

-1 Ranger's Sword
+1 Sword of Gondor
+1 Mablung, SoG
+1 Eowyn, LoI
-1 Eowyn's Sword, DB
-1 Merry, Swordthain
+1 TLAoEaM
+1 Ranger's Bow
-1 Galadriel, KoN
-1 Gwemegil


If I want a more competitve built, I probably would just cut the Deck in half and build two out of it.

[TheHumanHydra]

Hmm, I don't think I agree with cutting Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade with those companions. Also, Eowyn is starting but Eomer is not, with his matching possessions in the deck ... why not a second Eomer instead of the second Eowyn? I think I agree otherwise, although I'm a sucker for matching possessions.

[Wyrden333]

Oh no Mablung would be starter instead of Eowyn then.
 And also, I feel like every time I get DB I'm holding it for the right moment, that never comes,

[TheHumanHydra]

Ok, cool. As for the sword, I feel like you just play it that skirmish phase. It's mostly there for the super-efficient +3 for (1), but with an added awesome bonus when it's relevant. But you've doubtless played the deck much more than me, so you will know better!

[Wyrden333]

No, I actually haven't, because there is no Austrian on Gemp, no local players (yet)
I played a Movie Block version, but still not too often.
