You play the Lossoth, Elves of Lindon and the blue Mtn Dwarves, but not Alliance of Free People?

I've used Balrog of Moria a couple of times just to get rid of the auto-attack at the Under-Gates.  That's my definition of a resource. :)

Absolutely. That card affects all players or am I wrong?

Sure. But if you get it active, you get (at least) 3 points. That should be more than the opponent would get.

it's worth putting in the sideboard at least.  If it will help you bring it out if not you haven't wasted the deck space

Have you encountered any GI issues when you use A Chance Meeting?.  It looks like your starting company starts with Elrond controlling his son, leaving 4 GI free.  If Elrond uses Vilya+A chance meeting, the character brought in has to go somewhere next org phase.

I find that my deck often is too slow if I send Elrond back to Rivendell to use Vilya for the recycle ability.

Have you had any problems with ranked Corsairs, Sellswords or Ambushers?  I know Elrond whould be ok w/vilya but what of the others?

Beware of Alone & Unadvised with this deck.

GI is always a problem, with any deck. Generally I haven´t spent so much time pondering optimal solutions conserning the characters - I counted on you guys helping me with that :)

Sure, it´s slowing you down alot, but I feel you gain enough for it being worth it.

Some. Not much, but some.

Of course, Alone & Stupid is the enemy. Always.
