I never thought Southrons were that great in Towers Block. They have their advantages against Ring-Bound rangers, but I think you almost have to run four copies of Eastern Emyn Muil to make sure you grab one in the first hand.

I think, and this is unrelated a bit (but I'm trying to stir interest in the Towers Boards), that Naith Elves are the only free peoples I have not played in Towers Block.

That is not counting the various Lorien Swordsman that end up in some of my decks or Taurnil, Sharp-Eyed Bowman in my Dauntless Hobbits deck. I mean as a Freeps theme...I've never played Naith Elves. Probably because they shouldn't have been at Helm's Deep anyways.

What do you mean "they shouldn't have been"?    It's Tolkien who kicked them out after seeing Jackson's movie. I mean, movies always come first, right? 

I tried Naith Elves, but I found them too dependent on those bows and even with them, they are not really that strong (with the mighty exception of Naith Warband). Although, my Naith deck was a movie deck, I don't know how much stronger can they be in towers.

I have so far found this Southron build to be fairly solid. People often play six companions (Elves, Rangers, Ents, Rainbow etc.) and then Southron Veterans has some fun. If only five comps use Southron Fighter. use Southron Invaders to replay minions of choice, Southron Wanderer to add pool, Southron Traveler to keep them alive. Everyone has ambush, use Southron Spear, Whirling Strike and Mumaks to finish companions off.

The Elves have also been strong. Pengedhel, Thonnas, Naith Warband and Erethon are all decent fighters with a sword and bow. 3/3 wins so far with this one.

I have to agree that Southron is pretty decent in TT block. All of the multiple companion hate that it has counter some of the best TT block decks. Southron Spear is awesome vs Ents.

Nice deck, with a fairly straightforward and reliable combo.
