[Shapeshifter]

I played Fallen Pallando with Bad Company squatting at Goblin-gate and not Balin Dwarf-lord, but doesn't matter that much as I utterly failed due to a really bad constructed hazard deck vs Hero/Fallen/Lords, half of my hazards were playable against minion only. Should have read the card texts before . My animal hazards vs minion rocked very much, though, and gave me 6 of my total 7 TP.
Well, I must admit that I would have had no chance to win against Michel even with a better hazard deck as he smashed my company completely with his orc-hazards.

Here is the resource portion of my deck:

[Thorsten the Traveller]

One might think a challenge deck never has a shot against a constructed deck (as it should be), but as results show, some dc experience is also important, Domse scored very good with Thorin (it's a miracle!), and Bert could have performed better with Daelomin (his siamese twin-pirate Marcos' deck) .

attached my deck vs minion. Not that I "dunked" or even came close (1 failed test for The One in 3 games), but it always pays to have a backup plan...

The Plan was vs. hero to draw companies to Lorien with Shifting Paths (hang around Lorien myself hoping minions would attack me), keep them there with Siege/Snow Storm/Song of the Lady, and then let Galadriel with The One do some influencing, Soul Piercing, or CvCC.

unfortunately I played 3x vs hero...
