General Strategy

The last [Elven] Tale released, Alliance Reforged gives the Free Peoples player a bigger hand to work with at a somewhat noteworthy twilight cost. Because it is a fellowship phase event it is limited by The Rule of Four. While it can help dig for key cards, one should remember that [3] is often enough to play an extra minion and gauge whether the potential advantage is worth the risk.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strong Versus...

• Songs of the Blessed Realm
• [Elven] Fellowships which require a significant card advantage
• A strong Fellowship, which can shrug off the extra potential danger while preparing a more fearsome hand of Shadow cards
• Strategies which use cards from hand as a resource, such as Arwen, Echo of Luthien, Desperate Defense of the Ring, and Streaming to the Field
• A last-ditch effort to prepare for a Shadow victory

Weak Versus...

• Situational card, as it increases risk without directly increasing survival
