What are the "splash" companions and the "splash" minions you like to use in your movie block decks? Which one do you think is the best? A "splash" card is a card that you like to put in most of your deck because it can help. Here are the one I often use... Sam, SoH (Best burden protection) Radagast (Triple-moving can make you win) Aragorn, RotN (Good swarm protection and can basically save your fellowship for one site) Eowyn, LoR (Very nice if you have more than 6 companions and want Enquea protection) Pippin, HoSI (Speed bump, can remove a burden or a wound which can be nice) Faramir, SoD (Helps a lot vs some decks; Easterling and Enquea ToTo) Ulaire Enquea, LoM (Anti-6 companions) Grima, W (Helps any shadow to beat dwarves) Bill Ferny (it's basically a strength +4 pump for any race or culture, very good vs alternate Ring-Bearer) |

Some classic Splash minions: -Desert Lord -Gollum, Plotting Deceiver--If you are going for the initiative, he can be a near-free extra minion each turn! -Goblin Runner--Twilight! -Sauron, the Lord of the Rings or The Balrog, Terror of Flame and Shadow--Both nice beaters -Siege Troop--In most site control decks -Gollum, Dark as Darkness--Generates twilight and you can always use exertions or wounds (and soaking up archery!) -Tower Assassin--A little more Meta specific, but great for disabling allies. -Ulaire Cantea, Faster than Winds--Nice threat production Those guys off the top of my head. I'm sure I will think of more, but obviously Wormtongue and Shotgun Enquea as well! -wtk |

I am not a nice linker but maybe Kettie you can link it for me: Gandalf, Powerlauncher or Men (Elves, Dwarfs, Gollum and Hobbits that is) Oh, without the link, that would be Leader of Men |

I find Faster than Winds not really a splash, for his key combo he needs another wraith.

Well, I would say it is a decent threat adding minion. Of course you need other wraiths if you want to use the other part of the text. |

But Ulaire Lemenya, ET is still better (even if not movie) ( Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur ) Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Guldur --> nice swarm! Ulaire Toldea, Messenger of Morgul  is a nice Splash culture, too! |

I never ever saw anyone spalsh cantea FTW for threat adding, as each culture that uses them have a better way. 5 pool is usually better spent. |

Sam, Proper Poet can be very fun if you have a deck that uses Might of Numenor... taking on 3 minions for 3 twilight (pre Shadow phase) is hard to beat!

I guess I never got the "usefulness" of Thrarin. Is he of any use beyond being able to take a big bad guy? Elrond is insane though. |

Do not take dragons lightly. They are heavier than you think.
