I’m pretty new to Evil Men Archery, so I’ve made a rough decklist and I need some advice touching it up:

(40)
4x Archer of Harad
4x Southron Murderer
2x Rapid Reload
3x The Mouth of Sauron, Messenger of Mordor
2x Countless Companies
3x Pavise
4x Elevated Fire
4x Howdah
4x Caravan From the South
4x Mumak Rider
2x Mumak Commander, giant among the swertings
2x Fletcher of Harad
2x Whistling Death

It is a massive deck, but paired with a cycling FP half it should work pretty well. Also, I can almost always play every card in my hand for this shadow side. The Castamir is great. I can exert my minions with Pavise for Elevated Fire, and then have them gain strength at the same time.

Please offer your thoughts Very Happy

believe me, castamir is a waste of your time. low costing, high vitality minions are the way to go. Put in some long battle bow. Rapid reload isn’t as great as everyone makes it out to be, unless you have demoralized, usually i dont have the twilight left to use it. Precision targeting is SOOOO much better. put in three by takin out rapid reload and whistling death. Another pavise is pretty obvious because most archers have low vit. I love voice of the desert, southron troop as well. and however much people critisized my Men

archery deck for using worthless minions, it has never let the free peoples player get to site nine.

I have had a Men

archery deck since they printed a Men

minion with Archer. you can trust me on this.

OK, I modified it. I don’t think Long Battle bow is going to be that great with all the wounding I have already, but if you think so, tell me what you would take out.

How else could it be modified?

Thanks,

agreed

disagreed - a bow on a countless companies costs 3 to be played, remember. better playing only archers (or almost) and rapid reload

rapid reload is the way to save cards in hand when playing against strong healing fellowships such as merry’s sword, invigorated rangers, ents with a ring of rings on the ring bearer[/quote]

disagreed again, whistling death and rapid reload are a wonderful combo, killer against a lot of fellowships especially the one playing followers[/quote]

agreed on pavise, but only for mouth of sauron, mumak commander from hunters block, and to avoid opponent’s archery. the additionnal life points can be used to toil, but that’s very secundary

it’s a good minions but today it’s a little bit underpowered

I don’t know with what you pair this but if evil men archery had the answers to anything, we would know it
there are some decks evil men archery will never beat and that’s life...

to pipeweed, if you play southron archery, it’s very important to pair it with a site changing fellowships, and even better if

1/you can change sites and go first in the same time (travelled leader in fact). in which case you can play archers to stop your opponent on the sanctuaries

2/ you can change sites every turn and stay behind, in which case you play archers to kill

the 2 shadows are quite similar by the way

Mumak Commander, Giant Among the Swertings is deadly with a Pavise.

All cards do what they say.

yes ti is good. and the long battle bows if you use countless companion are worse then rapid reload. 3 twilight to exert a man or 3 twlight to exert whoever YOU want.

well, the battle bow is better in one case: if you play against rangers/ ithilien blade
because you will happy to exert a man in shadow phase if everybody on the table has its blade
otherwise rapid reload is better

Long Battle Bow played for a Countless Companies costs 3, and you get an exertion plus an archery wound. So, it’s like an undirected exertion and an undirected wound, instead of a directed exertion from Rapid Reload.
