My old twins deck was ultimately absorbed into this one. Is this one any better?
Fellowship:
Galadriel, BoW
The One Ring, RoR
Companions:
Elrohir, SoE (s)
Elladan, SoE (s)
Rumil, BoH
Orophin, BoH
Cirdan, The Shipwright
Haldir, SotGW
Gil-Galad, EHK
Legolas, SoT
Possessions:
Blade of Lindon x2
Long-knives of Legolas
Bow of the Galadhrim
Elven Bow x4
Artifacts:
Aiglos
Nenya, RoA
Vilya, RoA
Conditions:
Blades Drawn x2
Hosts of the Last Alliance x2
Events:
Break the Charge x4
Still Needed x4
Supporting Fire x4
Elf Song x2
The twins are central to this deck in which they are the main fighters until you can get Gil-Galad and Cirdan out. Adding bows and using Break the Charge, the archery by site 9 with all elves and bows can max out to 9! All criticism appreciated!!  |

The problem with this deck, as with a lot of decks posted here, is the lack of companions.

With 35 cards a side, when do you expect to get Gil-Galad or Cirdan out?? I would cut down on the companions that give you conditional archery, and add more copies of your other main companions. Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men also fits a archery/skirmish deck like this.
Break the Charge isn’t worth it either, IMO. 2 twilight and 3 exertions is too steep a price, when you can use Many Miles, Double Shot or Mighty Shot instead.
You also might want to switch Still Needed with Point Blank Range. Very effective in an archery deck. Still Needed also hinders cycling in this deck, and the size of it dictates you need all the cycling you can get. (It depends on your shadow side though, but since you haven’t posted it, I’ll assume it’s a normal cycling shadow).

If you plan to outrun your opponent to site 9, how do you plan to use the abilities of Haldir, Legolas and Orophin? Since you have no site manipulation in here (which Elves are pretty bad at anyway). you’ll be at your opponents sites, which you probably can’t count on being forest sites. |

| yes, use double shot and elrond, witness to history to get your events back on top of your draw deck. |

| you should cut companion for certain, but as I see it you are mixing elf event and elf archery choose one of the other. |

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.  |

i appreciate the critique. i was focusing on a pure archery but when you put the deck into perspective dealing with twilight/exertions/getting companions, i see where i need to change.  |
