Are people really complaining because they can't beat NPCs with the starter deck? Get more cards, I was able to win more than I lost with under 60 cards. I don't see why you people feel you should be able to beat one of the more difficult NPCs without investing time in building your deck. If you can't beat him or lack the motivation to beat him, then you don't deserve the Odin card in my opinion. If you keep playing this game in terms of brute force strategy (aka higher numbers = win) you really don't grasp the concepts of TT. There are plenty of ways to play the board to your advantage and bait Landanel's stronger cards.

Seriously it's only two NPCs people, and Rowena is the only who has a card that you can't get by other means (and drop rate seems higher than normal for a five star on both). Try farming Urth's Fount in Duty Finder and then come back and tell me Landanel is "too hard" or "too cheap".
