Yes, other copies CAN be discarded for healing. That’s why adding more copies of a companion you need to draw isn’t much of a waste, you can at least heal him. But, think about it: if you’d add a Legolas to heal Greenleaf, why don’t you add in Might of Numenor on that spot, and heal anyone you might want to?  |

alehaak wrote: i’m new at LOTR, and this is my 1st deck... i really need help to make it stronger! ^^
*THE RING 
1x The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
*COMPANIONS 
1x Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom (s)
1x Legolas, Greenleaf (s)
1x Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men (s)
1x Gil-galad, Elven High King
1x Aragorn, Heir to the White City
AT LEAST 2 copies of Gil-Galad.
*ARTIFACTS[5]
1x Aiglos
2x Nenya, Ring of Adamant
2x Vilya, Ring of Air
2 Gil-Galad for 1 Vylia, of it’ll clog up you hand. Also, only 1 Nenya.
*POSSESSIONS [12]
4x Elven Bow
1x Aragorn’s Bow, Ranger’s Longbow
1x Asfaloth, Elven Steed
1x Legolas’ Sword
2x Sword of the Fallen
2x Lembas
1x Phial of Galadriel
I’d drop Legolas’ Sword, for now. If there’s enough room, you can put it back. Also, I’d drop one Elven Bow, since you only have 3 Elves to make archers from anyway.
*CONDITIONS [14]
4x Hosts of the Last Alliance
4x Gondor Bowmen
2x Into The West
2x Shadow Between
1x The Tale of Gil-galad
1x The Splendor of Their Banners
Shadow Between, I’d say the same thing I said about Legolas’ Sword. Cut out Hosts of the Last Alliance for now, too. Too many cards.
*EVENTS 
4x Double Shot
2x Mighty shot
2x Might of Numenor
Total: 43 cards 
do u know better cards to this deck? tell me 
edit: update the build
So, we’re left with:
-4 Hosts of the Last Alliance
-2 Shadow Between
-1 Legolas’ Sword
-1 Nenya
-1 Vylia
-1 Elven Bow
+1 Gil-Galad, Elven HIgh King
+1 Elrond, Herald to Gil-Galad (helas companions AND is another bearer for Vylia)
So, at -8 cards, we’re left at 35, so there’s room for two more cards. I’d consider putting back Legolas’ Sword, for even more healing, and you’re still left with room for one card, although I’d playtest it at 36, with these changes. Then, if you really need the healing, you could consider putting back another Nenya. Now, you need a fast cycling shadow, so I’d go with  ,  or  . |

Well, I suggested adding Nenya and Legolas’ Sword, which both heal companions, thus making you less vulnerable to archery. I think, however, that you need some condition discarding, so company of arhers might be cool. It’s better to deny archery players those valuable Howdah and Orc Bowmen than just try to "take less archery".
As to Many Miles, I deeply prefer Break the Charge, although in this build, I’d use none. Elven Marksmanship might be considered... |

Thinking to change the deck...
Remove:
-1 Aragorn, heir to the white city (banned ¬¬ )
-1 Aragorn’s bow, ranger longbow
-4 Gondor Bowmen
-1 The last alliance of elves and men
-1 No stranger to the shadows
Insert:
1x Dinendal, Silent Scout
1x Rumil, Elven Protector
1x Orophin, Lorien Bowman
1x Calaglin, Elf of Lorien
1x Celeborn, Lord of Lorien
4x Swan-ship of the Galadhrim
and thinking to put gollum shadow ...
PLUS stronger minions like
Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul
Ulaire Toldea, Messenger of Morgul
Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur
Sauron, The Lord of the Rings
Why these cards ?
Simple,
Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul: with 5 burdens can kill a vit3 companion or 3 exausted companions ( :O )!
Ulaire Toldea, Messenger of Morgul: with 4 burdens can wound 2 times an companion weaker than him (or kill a companion  ).
Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur: can discard some extremely necessary weapons of the fellowship
and are all fierce str10+ !
Sauron, The Lord of the Rings: why sauron? he’s a really BIG MONSTER! and costas -x where x is the number of burdens !
Desert Lord: can wound at least 1 companion or exert 2 companios :p very cool with the others ...
this can help the little gollum to take some companions to dead pile
some ideas ? |

Make a Ninja Gollum Shadow side, rather than adding thos other minions. It can take on companions EASILY!
Swan-ship is not at all that useful... Drop it.
That bunch of allies won’t help out, either. If you’re dropping Gondor, then add a Gandalf Splash (AC has a GREAT article about it, check it out sometime). That alone will help you remove burdens AND win skirmishes, with cards like Servant of the Secret Fire and Gandalf’s Staff will let not only you play SotSF for free, but ALSO cancel a skirmish against a very strong minion that got past your defenses. |

figure out which NG you want depending on what cards you have at the moment and what cards you think you could get.
Also if you are really going for heavy archery
cut all the aragorn cards depending on how much corruption is in your area cut the Phial of Galadriel cut lembas and an into the west or 2 and replace them with double shot’s and elven marksmanships
If you are cutting aragorn add a companion possible Cirdan(high vitality) or celeborn(newer one can replay double shot)
of course fi you want to play allies.(you are going to get creamed in expanded with allies IMHO) heavy archery gets the job done.
and if you have gilgalad with aiglos he can very possible clean up whats left over from archery with grenleaf in there you might consider a tale of Gil-galad for him. theres my  . |
