The Three Hunters ft. Leadership Eomer 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

I am trying to understand how Eowyn can attack 3 times (you mention if already readied)? Would the first attack be with her 1 atk and attachments, then ready her using her ability and give her +9 atk, and then the Ring of Power to ready her and give her +1 atk on top of the +9?

Question about contracts. There is nothing that states the Fellowship contract can’t be used in Saga quests, so as long as the rule doesn’t change, Three Hunters contract should be usable in Saga quests? At least Solo in Saga quests gives four heroes. So to flip the contract, all 4 heroes need 2+ restricted attachments?

@bdavis96

1. Eowyn (ready)
2. Exhaust her to declare first attack.
3. Trigger her ability for +9 and ready her.
4. Resolve first attack.
5. Exhaust her to declare second attack.
6. Resolve second attack.
7. Play The Ring of Power to ready her.
8. Exhaust her to declare third attack.
9. Resolve third attack.

@bdavis96 Re: Contracts. You are correct.

The text on Steed of the Mark doesn’t say it’s restricted. Does the mount keyword automatically make it restricted?

Is steed of the mark supposed to replace by steed of imladris in the deck ?

Since you keep pushing back enemies in the staging area with Fastred perhaps instead of the Warrior Sword one could think of using the War Axe spoiled in the same pack of this contract? In any way awesome deck as always.

Oops, it’s Steed of Imladris not steed of the mark. Got it.

@Seastan

Thank you for the step by step explanation of attacking 3 times with Eowyn. That is really helpful. I think I fall into the trap of "exhaust, use ability" thinking.

@Alonewolf87 Definitely. Consider the Warrior Sword a stand-in for the spoiled war axe.

I am typically like playing thematic decks over mechanic-combo decks, but I have to give you a like for this one. It is fun and strong in solo. Plus for once, you did not include Steward of Gondor :)

You are my hero. Leadership Éomer was at the top of my list for this quest.

@YepesnopesIt's pretty thematic too, with a handful of exceptions for a few of the attachments.

@Seosaidh You can play the Steward of Gondor on any character, but the only thematic steward are Denethor and his son Faramir (last steward of gondor). Any three heroes can use the new three hunters contract, but there is only one true thematic trio, Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli.

@YepesnopesI'll grant you Steward (as well as Steed, Celebrian's Stone, and a few others), but the contract itself (while modeled on Aragorn, Legolas, and Gimli) could be easily taken to refer to other sets of three related heroes. Since all these heroes are Rhohirrim (albeit Rhohirrim who never fought together as such), I would still say the use of the contract is thematic.

All three of them rode to Gondor with Théoden's army and fought in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields. I think it's fair to say they fought together.

@Yepesnopes To say that Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli are the one true thematic trio for this contract card, then you also have to say you are limited to the Saga quests, because that is the only time you see those three together.

Decks that have peaked my interest with this contract card are (Merry, Eowyn, Faramir) and (Bilbo, Thorin, Gandalf). Two decks where I maybe have to adopt a "house rules" to use this contract card would be (Merry, Pippin, Treebeard) and (Frodo, Sam, Smeagol). Although, it will be interesting to see if they come out with a contract card that will be usable with Frodo, Sam and Smeagol.

@Alonewolf87 Actually, looking back at the War Axe spoiler, it won't work on Eomer. It needs to attach to a tactics character.

I can’t quest enough with Shields in Battle of the Five armies NM or if I do, I get swarmed by enemies. Any tips on how to do it?

@Yepesnopes Save the siege quest for last. Just accept that you won't be able to save your resources for a while.

Get progress on the battle stage turn 1 using Eowyn's ability. Then get progress on the willpower stage round 2 or 3 once your contract is online.

The quest loses a lot of its teeth once you've got 2 stages with progress on them. Turtle for a bit, and once Fastred's got some Dunedain Warnings and the staging area is clear, go for the siege.

Thx for the tip. I’ll try again.

Now that Inner Strength is out, would you sub it in for The Ring of Power or is the triple Éowyn attack still superior?

@deceasedhorse Oh, I'd absolutely make that trade.

This contract is 100% playable with Frodo, Sam, and Smeagol, you just have to wait for Stinker to pop up and leave him engaged with you until the next turn.

@Seastan another great deck as always. idk but damn you are like one best if not THE best deck builder when comes to this game keep it up there way you think and or how you build these decks is something else tip my hat to you

Hello first of all @Seastan thanks for your work, on creating awesome decks and maintaining this awesome website

I have one question related to this deck. I don't get why Steed of Imladris are in this deck as they can only be played on fastred. Isn't it better to commit him to a defender and attach a round shield instead ? Also the response effect on steed doesn't seem to comply with this deck which already has great willpower from turn 1/2. In my games i did not use it at all. Aren't there better restricted attachments ?

@psykro Thanks to the contract Fastred gets a decent amount of willpower, so it can be useful to quest with him and ready him for combat with Unexpected Courage. But you could definitely swap the Steed out for something else if you like.
