Telepathy is an 
Elven strategy, usually meshed with other strategies like Elvents or High King Looping. It originated in Movie Block, but remains strong throughout the rest of the formats. Telepathy focuses on manipulating the top cards of the deck with tools like Gandalf, Manager of Wizards (7R37)
and Back to the Light (18R6)
, then using your tailored top cards to win skirmishes with Forearmed (6U16)
and similar cards}}.
Core Cards
Most versions of telepathy rely on the classic Gandalf, Manager of Wizards (7R37)
and Forearmed (6U16)
combo. Paired with a high-costing shadow like Sauron Besiegers and Sudden Strike, you can place a minion such as Sauron, The Lord of the Rings (9R+48)
on top of your deck. Usually the starting fellowship in Movie Block consists of Glorfindel, Revealed in Wrath (9R+16)
and Legolas, Archer of Mirkwood (5P121)
so you can forego Forearmed (6U16)
against Nazgul and keep your fellowship healed. Once you get to post-Shadows formats, however, the starting companions become more varied. With the rise of Gil-Galad, High-King of the Noldor
, meshing telepathy with his token looping abilities became the standard telepathy deck. As a bonus, he can recur your Forearmed (6U16)
at the cost of threats. As such, threat removal such as Golrfindel, Eldarin Lord
or Into the West (7C23)
is necessary. In addition, the powerful Elrond, Witness to History (12R17)
can help to fuel Into the West (7C23)
or even recur your Elven cards.
