GusOrriols has a newer deck inspired by this one: The Council of the Discarding

NOTE: Of course, Nenya is, indeed, Narya. I don't change it because I don't want to create a 2.0 version of the deck.

This deck is the best creation I have been able to do with the Council of the Wise contract.

It is a very complicated contract. Because the loss of consistency (the contract forces you to not being able to put more than 1 equal copy of a card), you have to replace it with a much more "opportunistic" game.

Erestor + Gandalf + Arwen Undómiel are the starting team chosen for their abilities. Arwen Undómiel can discard the excess of Erestor's card draw (you don't let me to have consistency, well...Erestor + 70 cards! ha ha ha!) and Gandalf can play the card from the top of the deck. This let us to open the options in each round to maximize own hand, and be able to play events from the top of the deck each phase if it is necessary (with the contract benefits, of course).

The idea is to play cards (attatchments, but more important all the events) cheap (only Shadowfax costs 3 and all the events are there for 0 or 1 cost). Unable to keep cards for Erestor's ability, it is essential that the events (which make the contract benefit you) be playable with few resources, because the resources have to be spended in the allies (using Arwen Undómiel's ability and the playing from the discard pile mechanic.

And nothing else... It is fun and due to the poor consistency of the deck, each game flows very differently.

I suspect you meant Narya instead of Nenya. Easy mistake! Great deck!

nice deck. i would optimise it and dismiss some of the expensive allies for cheap ones. e.g. gildor, u rarely have enough Money to pay him.

i would dismiss: gildor, elrond, Guardian of rivendell,
star brooch(u dont like to be engaged, try to kill enemys), White council (to expensive in multiplayer)

would add (some?): Deep Knowledge, vassal of the windord (can be played with gandalf, or stand and fight or good tale), ioreth. drinking song, strenght of will, message from elrond, Hope Rekindled (cost 0 and trigger contract)
