Underrated Movie Block cards/combos

[jdizzy001]

Okay, here it is, the most underused combo of all time.  i have been mocked for using it in the past.  It actually works best in fotr format, because the raider culture didn't exist yet, I like this combo because I found it without any help from anyone.  It is my own, my precious, but enough talk.  Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood and Long-knives of Legolas (3R21).  Why is this good?  With this combo Legolas receives a skirmish bonus against Nazzies, Orczees, and Uruk-haizees (The "only" minions in fotr block).  I know Greenleaf is "better" but if your building a skirmish deck, he is the way to go.

interesting idea jdizzy... I like the idea of having a fighting lego, thus, Archery and wounding is the way to go in FotR Block if you use Elves...

Flaming Brand is a much better solution vs Nazgul than Legolas.

the point isn't to use solely legolas, the point is to make legolas a usable fighter

Radagast. Most people know it's a good card but I consider it as a GREAT card. It can makes the difference between a win or a loss. Splashing one in any deck can be useful.

[jdizzy001]

I still think I'd rather run Legolas, Greenleaf, and leave the fighting to Arwen, Daughter of Elrond and Aragorn and Boromir with the Flaming Brand.
-wtk

a very valid point, but if you're building a trust me deck, daughter of elrond won't help.  Plus i know how you feel about greenleaf.  he is a great card, extremely flexible and has the frodo sig, making him perfect for frodo's pipe.  However prince of mirkwood with long knives is a little known and never used combo, which is the purpose of this thread, to point out scarcely used combos

It's not used because it's not that good. In a Trust me Deck, even if FOTR Block, all you need is 3 Gandalf Signet, Aragorn, RotN Gimli, SoG and Frodo, OBH. In other blocks, Legolas, EC is still better.

The Number Must Be Few, a very underrated card. However, it is the only way to stop Ents as Ulaire Enquea gets destroyed by Terrible and Evil and Greed is discarded easily. If you think that your shadow if potentially weak vs Ents or large fellowship, you should consider it.

exactly. My Tmayod/ Pipeweed Deck ( I think it's somewhere here on the FotR Block board) runs those 3 comps, Gandalf, FotS and Greenleaf. Works perfectly, as I can heal both Gandi and Greenleaf with Frodo's Pipe. But still, I think it's a very creative idea.

The number must be few... I really like the way the card is played. A  condition with no spotting requerements nor any other restrictions... I like it.

Haha. I'm quite late/new here. But I noticed that there is one card in particular missing from the list:

WE MUST GO WARILY - Almost laughable that it's a common!

And if someone already did mention this overpowered card, my bad- kudos to them! Just thought that it really needed to be on here.

[TheJord]

It got errata'd and is nowhere near as good.

[The Dewk]

...oh. Way to bust my bubble. lol. What did it do after they de-powered it..?

[legolas3333]

Here are a few I can think of...

Hate And Anger
Naith Troop in telepathy decks
Helpless
Saruman's Snows

[macheteman]

i've been seeing sarumans snows a lot recently, so i'm not sure its an underrated card, but hate and anger is a card you can build a deck around (which i did a couple weeks ago) but i have never seen anyone else play.
