I’ve been playing Lotr for some time and finally thought to post. Tell me what you think...

Frodo, Resolute Hobbit
The One Ring, AtAR

Starting Fellowship:
Elladan, Son of Elrond
Elrohir, Son of Elrond

Companions:
Aragorn, Defender of Free Peoples
Glorfindel, Revealed in Wrath
Gildor Inglorion, Of the House of Finrod
Lorien Guardian x2

Allies:
Elrond, Lord of Rivendell
Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Wood
Bounder

Possessions:
Blade of Lindon x2
Naith Longbow x2
Athelas
Sting

Artifacts:
Anduril, Flame of the West
Mithril-Coat
Ring of Barahir

Conditions:
The Last Alliance of Elves and Men
Heirs of Gondor
Strength of Arms x2
Hosts of the Last Alliance x2

Events:
Elf-Song
Still Needed x4
Supporting Fire x4

This is really a straightforward deck that includes all aspects. You have a solid fellowship that can virtually take down any foe. Using the twins and Still Needed is almost unstoppable. The allies are there for site replacement and healing. I use the twins to win skirimishes to place tokens on Strength of Arms, then use Aragorn to heal and win his skirmishes with his game text/ring. Gildor is for swarms, Glorfindel for those pesky Nazgul and the two Guardians for extra protection. Really, throw in forest/river sites so the Blades work, then battle through.

Shadow:

Ulaire Attea, Keeper of Dol Guldur x2
Ulaire Cantea, Thrall of the One x2
Ulaire Enquea, Thrall of the One x2
Ulaire Lemenya, Thrall of the One x3
Ulaire Nelya, Thrall of the One x4
Ulaire Toldea, Thrall of the One x2
Black Rider
The Witch-King, Black Lord
The Witch-King, Captain of the Nine Riders
The Witch-King, Black Captain

Blade Tip x2
Lingering Shadow x3
The Ring Draws Them x2
Bent on Discovery x2
Wreathed in Shadow

Dark Whispers x4
In the Ringwraith’s Wake x3
Morgul Gates

This enduring Nazgul deck works pretty well against many a fellowship. Use Blade Tips and Lingering Shadows to add burdens, Dark Whispers to win skirmishes and use those Nazgul’s special text to corrupt, add twilight and strike hard. Archery kills. So i tossed in the Wreathed in Shadow. Otherwise, it makes double jumping and burden removal a difficult thing to achieve.

Let me know, I have more decks to post, so do your worst and best, please Laughing

Actually, you did do something wrong, but not at all bad. See, Cobra Cards has this system where a program scans you posts for any words that correspond to Card titles. When it finds one, it instantaneously change it into a link to the card image, game text and price here on Cobra Cards, since it also helps readers (specially new ones) to understand the card choices, as they can click the link and see the actual card, and how it works. So, when you’re posting a decklist (specially), be sure to type the full names of the cards (ignoring things like "´", "`" and "¨"), and type them correctly. For example, you should have typed in The Last Alliance of Elves and Men. Also, when you want to post more copies, put a space between the Card Title and the quantity, for instance, Lorien Guardian x2 (so the link will appear).
Other than this tip, very nice deck design, people don’t tend to post Free Peoples AND Shadow sides together, which I think they should, since A LOT of decks DO depend on the sinergy between the two sides. For instance, a Swarms deck works best with a fast cycling Free Peoples side, specially one with little or no events at all, so your hand does not get clogged. Assuming I posted only the Shadow side, another player might try and pair it up with a different Free Peoples side, get pounded and think the deck sucks, when it doesn’t, when played with the right synergy...
Well, congratulations on your first post, I handled you your first gp! Very Happy

I don't like YOU.

I think you have some companion who are not needed put in cirdan and maybe Elrond, Witness to History or Elven Lord or Venerable Lord and cut both lorien guardians gildor and prolly aragorn. get rid of aragorns stuff get the galadriel ringbearer if possible

i would cut strength of arms and add 2 valor

that is all for now

It is true that there are definately some better companions you could use. The galadriel ring-bearer would be great, and your allies aren’t helping you as much as companion elrond or galadriel would.

I would use at least some of these companions:

Cirdan, The Shipwright
Elrond, Venerable Lord
Elrond, Witness to History
Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom
Legolas, of the Grey Company
Rumil, Brother of Haldir

Hope this helps Smile
