Upgrade Goals Based on our analysis of the deck I will focus on the following upgrade goals: Enhance our Politics theme Enhance our Elf theme Swap our card draw for better options Add another board wipe if able Remove any card that doesn't fit our Politics / Elves themes or are thematic but too weak The way I upgrade the precon changes heavily between the LOTR-only upgrade section and the regular upgrade section: the LOTR-only section will enhance our Elf theme without much enhancing Politics because there's no real political cards to add from the main set
