Your FP side needs a lot of work. You don’t have enough ways to make minions roaming, and it is generally just too defocused. There are two ways to go about making minions roaming:
Madril, Defender of Osgiliath, with Aragorn’s Bow, Ranger’s Longbow, Ranger’s Cloak and, of course, Ithilien Blade for maximum ownage.
The other route is to use 4x Ancient Roads and 1 or 2 Gondorian Rangers. Use Mablung, Soldier of Gondor + Ranger’s Bow to kill off any minion you want, along with New Errand, Faramir, Captain of Gondor and War and Valor. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Ithilien Blade is awesome. Don’t underestimate its powers. Being able to discard any minion you want for the minor cost of 2 exertions is insane. Here is an example of an Expanded ranger deck:
Fellowship (35)
1x *Aragorn, Strider(11R54)
1x *Faramir, Captain of Gondor(4R116)
1x *Halbarad, Ranger of the North(14R9)
1x *Madril, Defender of Osgiliath(15R64)
4x Gondorian Prowler(15U61)
1x *The Tale of the Great Ring(10U116)
1x Banners Blowing(13U61)
3x Drawing His Eye(10R29)
3x Might Of Numenor(3C43)
2x Pathfinder(4C129)
1x War and Valor(4C135)
3x What Are They?(1C119)
3x *Aragorn’s Bow, Ranger’s Longbow(15R56)
1x *Faramir’s Bow(4R118)
1x *Sting, Bane of the Eight Legs(8R113)
4x Ithilien Blade(15C62)
4x Ranger’s Cloak(15C68)
You can start with all 8 Gondor companions, assuming you bid 1 or less, and it has all the fun tricks to kill every minion each turn and heal up so you can do it again. |

| I love starting tons of companions without having to draw them. It frees up so much space for other cards, since you don’t need multiple copies...it also filters your deck quite nicely. |

Agreed. I also like those sites that play companions from your draw deck, like The Prancing Pony. |
