Strider would be a good addition. consider ziil-stargazer-combo for more effectiveness. with more res Treebeard and Thalion are good additions

Emery seems a good addition too.

if adding discard-mechanics (zigil, emery, Erebor Guard ) the Hidden Cache would be a nice addition.

Fun idea! @doomguard's suggestions seems great to me, Hidden Cache is such a fun card. Personally wait to discard Folco Boffin until round 7 to get more use out of him though.

I kept out Strider on purpose because it is kind of useless for Galion. Even if he gets a Silver Circlet, he cannot attack or defend. I suppose it would be useful for Prince Imrihil, though.

Thalion is a good idea if I wanted to do more side quests (probably Rally the West). Treebeard works well because he basically is a neutral hero with a built in readying ability. Emery is another good idea since it's mono spirit

The Imladris Stargazer-Zigil Miner is a great combo that would be powerful for this deck. I was going for really cheap questing allies only, but this would be better, yeah!

@strider, +2 willpower until 4 allies is good even without the other effect. the silvercirclett does not give more.

True, but with all the cheap allies on the board, I feel like you're going to get to five characters pretty soon...maybe one copy though

"Galion basically just takes a nap after round 1." :)

Love the deck title, as well as the idea of starting at 0 threat. Practically speaking, though, if you're planning to use Sword-thain or Prince Imrahil anyway, couldn't you just use Folco with The Grey Wanderer? Then you could start with Strider in play to help you with early willpower, and Folco could still pay for all the Spirit cards. That would also give you access to out-of-sphere secrecy cards like Timely Aid. Then you could discard him as soon as you have Imrahil or a Sword-thained ally in play.

Then again, maybe these sober suggestions miss the point.

Correction: I forgot that The Grey Wanderer doesn't allow you to play unique allies. So I guess you'd need to include A Good Harvest or a song to get Imrahil in play, which is probably straying to far from your original idea.

Don’t you lose if you have no heroes in play?

@CoolestDude Yes, but that's not the case here. (MotK) Galion is a hero.

Can you choose to use an ally as a hero?

@CoolestDude Not normally, but with the Messenger of the King contract (aka MotK), you can start a unique ally as a hero.

Ah! I see! Thanks for the explanation.

btw. you are not loosing without heroes, only if all of your heroes are dead(or discarded), if they are captured or somehow else in the game but not under your control, you have not lost.
