Here is one very old deck I found here (not under my bed   ). It was designed for a TTT Block Tournament and it uses onl cards from 
 
sets 4, 5 & 6. It actually won a match (thanks to the fellowship), but later was defeated by a nasty NAzgul Deck. 
 
I will not bore you with the Shadow Side (it was very weak Sauron shadow - only Wraiths, Grishakh and a bunch of uncommon Orcs).
 
  I proudly present the Helm’s Deep Elven Defenders Deck (wow!)  
 
    RB 
 
  Frodo, Courteous Halfling
 
  The Water Ring
 
   
 
Companions - 5 cards
 
    Legolas, AoM (starting)
 
    Pengedhel, NAith Warrior (starting)
 
    Erethon, Naith Lieutenant
 
    Naith Warband
 
    Thonnas, Naith Captain
 
 
  Possessions - 13 cards
 
    Legolas’ Sword
 
   Naith Longbow x 4
 
   Elven Sword x 4
 
   Elven Brooch x 2
 
   Banner of Elbereth
 
    Hobbit sword
 
 
 Conditions and Events - 17 cards
 
  Strength of Arms
 
  Blades drawn x 2
 
  Agility x 2
 
  Company of Archers x 3
 
  Break the Charge
 
  Night without end
 
  That is No Orc Horn
 
  Forearmed x 3
 
  Supporting Fire x 2
 
  Swifly and Softly
 
 
  35 cards in total
 
  
 
   Sites
 
  East Wall of Rohan
 
  Uruk Camp
 
  Barrows of Edoras
 
  Westemnet Hills
 
  Hornburg Parapet
 
  Hornburg Armory
 
  Hornburg Wall
 
  Wizard’s Vale
 
  Palntir chamber
 
 
  The strategy is simple - to equip your elves with Longbows and sword as soon as possible and then try to reach site 9 first. The game text of the Naith Soldiers gains great bonuses from the longbows - Pengedhel is Strength 10, vitality 3 (with a bow and a sword) for the total twilight cost of 4. Same for warband, thonnas and Erethon.
 
   Elven brooch must be played to protect some of the possessions, and Company of Archers, Night Without End and That is no Orc horn can do some work to weaken the enemy. The boost events and conditions are also crucial for this deck. Note that Frod is very vulnerable, and that’s why there is a Swiftly and Softly - just in case:)
 
This deck has many weak sides, but it was built a looong time ago and it was pretty useful, especially against uruks and Dunlendings. |

Neat. I had a Helms Deep Elf deck a long time ago. It was pretty cool. The whole idea was to use archery and then use cards that reduced the minions strength form the wounds you can spot. I always liked Thonnas. He looked awesome. (Get him a rag, he is bleeding!)    |

I would post it if I still had it. When Reflections was released, I took it apart to build the Dwarves.   
 
 
I remember some...Legolas-Greenleaf and Thonnas started
 
Some Lorien swordsmen, Pengedhel, Balglin, and Haldir-EotG
 
Elven sword and bows, and 2 naith longbows for Thonnas and Pengendhel.
 
The events and conditions were all about archery and strength -2.
 
1 or 2 break the charge, some feathered, a couple valor.
 
the conditions: some blades drawn, strength of arms, and a tale of gil-galad for legolas.... and a hobbit sword for frodo.   |

| My telepathy deck looked a lot like this until the release of RotK and Reflections. Naith Elves rocks! |
