The Elves are cool. They are big, they heal, they have events, Galadriel is high on resistance due to all the companions, and she's strong...and if you lose one along the way, don't mourn too long, for there is another to replace him...

Shadow is a twist of evil men archery......

[DáinIronfoot]

Uncertain Future gives you a number of tokens to work with without having to wait on the reinforcement of Galadriel's Silver Ewer on Blessed Light. I DO like Blessed Light, as it's a next-to-impossible-to-discard artifact, but I do NOT like the exertions needed to get tokens on it (at least until your token reinforcement takes over). Uncertain Future pairs very nicely with your top-of-deck telepathy as well. I'd squeeze in two copies if you can.

[Elrohir]

First of all, I want you to know - I build very strange decks, so don't be confused.

Here you go, these are my suggestions:

I miss "crashing cavalery" (to prevent e.g: Cantea 12R),
          "into the west"
          "Hope comes"
          "Glimpse of fate"
           "Inside a song"
          "Wells of deep memory"
Elrond, witness of history might be better  espescially for attunement. If you use this one, one Silver Ewer is enough. (You can get it out of the discard pile).

You need at least one more card with tokens on it for Arwen: You could think of Strands of elvenhair (needs a dwarf), secluded homested or shake of the shadows (need a Gandalf or a dwarf (It could be helpful to have another race in your fellowship...)

Cirdan is nice, but might be...too much. Take an Aragorn instead (for Arwen and blessed light).
Furthermore, you could replace the current sites with this ranger event. Or you play Ellessar Tel Contar, if you are worried about wounds.

Such a Weight to carry is one of the worst rings I have ever seen  . I would prefer The Ring of Rings 11R.

Why do you don't play ancient blade? If you have Celeborn and Gil-Galad, you can easyly move which means, a Radagast fits also very well. -> All minions are discarded, you have muster, you get an event out of the Discard pile and you may reconcile

[Gil-Estel]

Such a weight isn't that bad. I know you weird german speaking people dig on TatD, but with that many elves she doesn't need the resistance, and the only other threat is shadow wounding. Since only Gollum can offer such a threat, I'm willing to take that risk. Other than that, with all the possible self-assigning minions, I want Galadriel as strong as possible.
Cirdan is great in this deck. With that many events he is a beast. Crashing Cavalry is a good possibility.

[Mythdracon]

What do you guys think of the Shadow side? Looks like there are many ways to use Evil Men--site control, archery, exertions, possessions, stacking on possessions....

[Gil-Estel]

I think the shadow is brilliant

[Mythdracon]

Hum, has anyone made a Region 1/Region 2 Evil Men deck? Or, the one I want to make even more, a possession stacking deck? I have 2 Ceremonial Armor and 4 Wildman's Oath along with a stack of 17U and 17C just waiting for Ted Sandyman to help stack men on them....it seems to be a swarm deck. :O
