The One Bling aka Blingbo 1.0

• Versions
• 1.0

Have you ever thought to yourself, while killing a Hill Troll, climbing Caradhras, or defending Cair Andros, that you didn't feel stylish enough? That you weren't dapper enough? That you didn't have enough Bling?

Then you're in luck!

I present to you after many hours of careful thought (1) and many test runs (1), the greatest deck ever produced in the history of The Lord of the Rings LCG...

The One Bling aka Blingbo.

With some patience and a little luck, you can get every single attachment out. Obviously you want to attach The One Ring to Bilbo and keep Inner Strength for your hand. Then, you want to mulligan for Song of Kings, Steward of Gondor, and Nenya. Celebrían's Stone and Hobbit Pony also useful to get early. I like to distribute Unexpected Courage evenly between the three heroes. Put Steward of Gondor on Aragorn.

The deck actually has plenty of draw capability with Galadriel's ability, Glamdring, Expert Treasure-hunter, Mirror of Galadriel, and Master of the Forge providing quite reliable ways to get all your attachments in hand. I recommend using Gandalf mainly for threat reduction or direct damage. Glorfindel is in mainly to make use of discarding duplicate cards and Warden of Healing helps to keep everyone alive.

One Golden Belt for Bilbo Baggins, and one for Aragorn. I attach Celebrían's Stone, Glamdring, and Durin's Axe to Aragorn, but every other Artifact card to Bilbo, including Ring of Barahir which can get him up to 9 hit points, which combines with a 2 bump from Sting and Inner Strength and damage reduction from Mithril Shirt for a functional 5 . Quite a hefty defender...
