like this the deck will never work, no ranger too few characters, get back to me on a table at cardnum and I show all the issues makes more sense in a discussion or chat than back and forth texting

Questions:
1) Is this for a standard two-deck game?
2) Do you have a sideboard?
3) What exactly is the deck trying to accomplish, that you're using FW Saruman?

The game is flawed, but this does not mean it cannot be loved.

also the setup is not legal as you only have 27 (& Anarin) hazards in the deck, the other 2 agents are characters for deck construction,
like I said too many issues, not sure were you are wanting to go with that, but b_took is the man to suffer through F-Saruman decks for an eternity

I'm rusty on my terminology. What is ARV?

ARV is the Annual Rules Vote. So, all of the cards submitted and being discussed for ruling/clarification this year.
This deck is mostly a joke based on the large amount of errata/clarifications being discussed.
I imagine this deck will require too long to play due to constant rules questioning.

Ah. Is it only those cards, or are other cards allowed?

Yeah, I was trying to get to a legal deck using just those cards. And I already took some allowances (lesser spiders). And, as Vastor points out, I should have included some of the cards as characters and not agent-hazards.

If you're willing to add Rebuild the Town and Fireworks, you could take the party to the Stones and get lots of Palantiri.

All minion agents count as characters for deck construction purposes (including Anarin).Vastor Peredhil wrote: ↑Wed Apr 10, 2019 2:52 pm also the setup is not legal as you only have 27 (& Anarin) hazards in the deck, the other 2 agents are characters for deck construction,
One [online community] with hammer and chisel might mar more than they make...
