He doesn’t need to win skirmishes.
There wont be anybody to skirmish.

It combos with Madril, Aragorn’s Bow, Ranger’s Cloak, Damrod and
Halbarad. When done right, the deck can wipe the board clean of
minions in the maneuver and archery phase, then double move and do it
again.


Here is my ranger deck:

1x *Madril, Defender of Osgiliath(15R64)

1x Unyielding Ranger(15C71)
1x *Decorated Barricade(15R58)

3x Well-traveled(11R66)

2x *Aragorn’s Bow, Ranger’s Longbow(15R56)

Bid 1 to go first. Start with Gorn, Halbarad, Pippin and Madril. Use
the Prancing Pony to pull a ranger (usually I pull Damrod first, then
Boromir, then Unyielding, then Dúnedain). Use Caves of Aglarond
strategically to remove your burdens, then you’ll be free to play
Neekerbreekers’ Bog later on to make a double move even easier. If you
don’t draw the Bow or a Cloak, then you’ll want to use Well-traveled
to play City Gates soon, so you have a nice supply of threats for
Madril to use.

Boromir is your best friend in this deck, because if you decide to
stop moving, he can heal himself on your next turn so he can use
Ithilien Blade all over again. Don’t worry about the twilight you’ll
add for him, Damrod and Aragorn; you’ll be able to kill whatever you
see almost every time.

You might think that the Porticos and While We Yet Lives are
pointless, but they’re really just fodder for Halbarad to heal your
guys. He is an invaluable link in the chain.

In my experience, the only Shadows that can hurt this deck are the
Rapid Reload/Demoralized combo, corsairs and perhaps Nazgûl (only
because Enquëa 6OTNR can really hurt you). Corsairs especially, since
they can use Ships of Great Draught to clean out any threats that
accumulate, and thus, they will never be roaming in the maneuver phase
again, not to mention using the Marauder to knock off the Bows, Blades
and Cloaks. This is why the Shadow side of this deck is a typical
corsair build.
