I used to think Test of Will was essential too, and although I still have it in every deck with Spirit, I am starting to find Lore's encounter deck manipulation cards equally helpful. Forest Snare, Expecting Mischief, and the new Ranger Spikes and Ithilien Tracker can deal with the baddies as they come out. Denethor can do his top card manipulation. Riversong and Rumor from the Earth can at least peak at the top card. Risk Some Light can reorder the top three cards.Test of Will is great, but luckily I don't think it is as essential as it once was.
