I'm very pleased with this deck, it's really fun to play ;).

Mulligan for Visionary Leadership and/or Steward of Gondor.

Visionary Leadership ---> Prince Imrahil (keep the resource for questing and then use it during combat).

Steward of Gondor ---> Elrond (it goes without saying: not only will you be able to play numerous allies this way, but Elrond will also benefit from Visionary Leadership and Denethor's ability)

Horn of Gondor ---> Elrond

Prince Imrahil is the main focus of this deck. Numerous allies have "enter play" effects that synergize really well with his ability (Envoy of Pelargir makes a great chump blocker that pays for herself). Beorn and Háma work especially great here (swing for 8 or defend twice for 5 respectively, with the ability to shuffle those guys back into the deck). You can even use Warden of Healing for emergency healing during combat. Grimbold might also serve as Feint.

Use Gandalf for reduction or card draw, preferably with Sneak Attack.

Captain's Wisdom is rather optional, but sometimes you just need a quick resource boost (and it works on every hero in this setup). If you think you have sufficient resources, feel free to swap it for an ally from sideboard (I was primarily considering Gléowine for some additional card draw).

Have fun!

I would put in 2 copies of Stand and Fight so you can get more uses out of Grimbold.

You don't have access to events in this deck ;).

elrond without vilya? kind of wasted.

consider take Lothíriel instead of him. questing is the same, thread much lower and you have double "enter play" per round. in addition you can take spiritevents. then perhaps the Squire of the Citadel for more res.

@doomguardElrond with Vilya is kind of overused, I'm tired of putting Vilya in every deck he is in ;). He won't be able to quest after using Vilya and the ring would further dilute the deck, making Imrahil's ability less reliable. If you make a Vilya deck you have to build around it (you need something like Imladris Stargazer and Unexpected Courage and probably another hero.

I only use the cards I own (I don't have the last three cycles), so I didn't even consider Lothíriel. Plus, she doesn't fulfill the same role in this deck. Elrond is far better here because he allows you to permanently play numerous allies from various spheres. And he boosts Warden of Healing, which is significant benefit (especially when there's a lot of archery on the table). ;) Also, not many allies with enter play abilities work with her in this deck. They either don't share the same trait or can't use it because they enter play exhausted
