The Three Trials 15:351

Result: threat loss.
Continuing my plays of LotR card game without logging, and also continuing working on mastering both The Three Trials quest, and Chad's single core series deck.
This game was an almost win. I think it went around 13 rounds, with some good stalling before clearing the first key, except that cranked up my threat a lot. Boromir got massively buffed, and could take out any of the Guardian's with a single hit.
The main challenge I'm seeing with this deck is not getting enough early card draw to manage both Threat and required buffs. In Chad's playthrough he was able to draw the deck, which is not something I can recall doing more than once. I only got half through my deck for this game.
One thing which is interesting is being able to time the last two keys to basically take out everything in a single round, allowing the last round to clear the location. In this game, I was at Threat 49, with no threat reduction, and not enough Will to clear Hallowed Barrow. I needed one more round.
