Fate of the Wilderland with Screw You Fate of the Wilderland – May 21, 2021 – Attempt 2

Overview

This game I lucked out on the setup with just a Stray Goblin in the staging area this time. I was also able to get the contract flipped by turn 2 slowing down the Goblins’ Assault progress. My luck didn’t hold for long with Urdug attacking on Turn 1. Goblin Troop coming out turn 2 and taking a few turns to deal with. The game was much closer than I would have liked thanks to a Fierce Attack at Stage 3. Fortunately, I was able to deal with the last enemy needed for the 5th resource then attack Urdug with both Grimbeorn on a Rohan Warhorse and Bormir. A little anticlimactic, but I’ll take it.

This has to be one of the fastest quests I’ve played. Not quite Into Fangorn short and fast but up there. While initially frustrating how aggro the quest is, I appreciate how different it feels from every other Ered Mithren quest. I’m definitely going to play this again when I want to test how quickly a deck can get up and running.
