That's my concept too. Only worth if for the noldo, and elrond is otherwise useless;) He can cast LCT so's he can find the buggers too and with the artiis etc (not as many, i agree) it is doable b4 t8-9 easy.
I'd definately go the dragon slaying artii, had very mixed luck without it

Probably because, with a mage, you don't necessarily need 6 artifacts, plus your best challenger to start with is more of a mage than a commander. Start with Elrond, add three Elvish Rings (i.e. you have to snarf the other two from Galadriel and Gandalf) and grab a weapon whose "hidden" ability is a bonus against dragons...though the latter may be for encounters only rather than challenges, so heck, just grab a +2250weapon.
And it isn't necessarily a waste of mage artifacts either -- put Elrond in a company, and each turn, he can case a lore spell such as LAT with a damn good chance of success. SO hey, while playing "slide-the-blade-between-the-scales-and-dodge-the-acidic-blood" with the great wyrms, he can also be playing "let's find the One Ring and be done with this farce" casting LAT each turn. Meanwhile the CA company commander guards him and moves the company...

Probably just as difficult as

Why do so many people keep talking about Mages PC'ing
Dragons??? Any old 50+ commander will do. One
character can hold 6 artifacts. Do the FP want to
waste 5 Mage artifacts or 5 Command artifacts? Think
long and hard................
