Gimli Legolas Aragorn Archery/Wounding 
 
--- end description ---
 
 
 
 
# of Cards :40
 
 
Starting Fellowship:
 
 
Frodo, Resolute Hobbit
 
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings
 
 
Legolas, Greenleaf
 
Gimli, Son of Gloin
 
 
Other Companions and Allies:
 
 
Arwen, Lady Undomiel x3
 
Aragorn, Heir to the White City x3
 
Elrond, Lord of Rivendell x3
 
Silinde, Elf of Mirkwood
 
Erestor, Chief Advisor to Elrond
 
Galdor, Councilor from the West
 
Golradir, Councilor of Imladris
 
Saelbeth, Elven Councilor
 
 
Possessions:
 
 
Aragorn’s Bow x2
 
Andúril, Sword That Was Broken 
 
Aiglos 
 
 
Events and Conditions:
 
 
The Saga of Elendil     
 
The Tale of Gil-galad 
 
The Choice of Luthien x2
 
Shoulder to Shoulder x2
 
Quick as May Be x3
 
Power According to his Stature x3
 
Gondor Bowmen x4
 
Double Shot x4
 
 
Okay heres how it works: You start off with Legolas and Gimli and soon you pull out Aragorn and Arwen, when that happens the fun really starts. Even if you dont pull Aragorn or Arwen right away that is ok cause chances are you will pull Elrond and a couple of other site 3 allies along with shoulder to shoulder. When that happens you can cycle wounds onto your allies and basically survive until you do pull Aragorn and Arwen. Once you pull them then it is game on! Aragorn with his bow can deal direct damage, plus once you get the choice of luthien and shoulder to shoulder you can cycle his wounds the next manuever phase onto Arwen, then Arwen to Gimli and then Gimli to  one of your allies.  Elrond heals each Elf whos home site is 3 so that pretty much covers any exertions you may have placed the turn before. I have added Andúril, Sword That Was Broken and The Saga of Elendil  to further Aragorn’s wounding capability, and The Tale of Gil-galad and Aiglos to further Legolas’. Added bunches of double shot, Gondor Bowmen, Power According to his stature, and Quick as may be to add in some extra kick for pre and post wounding of minions. Prolly not your average archery or wounding deck, but any chance I can add Arwen to a cool deck I usually take it. Not to mention each minion Skirmishing Arwen would be minus 3 and you can control which minions make it through, plus Gimli pumps himself and Aragorn isnt too shabby once equiped. Overall makes a pretty cool deck I think. But won’t really get to try it until Rise of Saruman comes out, this is really just a theoretical deck at this point, but hopefully I will see if it works in the near future. |

Add forth the three hunters. Try to get Gimli, Eager hunter and Aragorn, Thorongil, or even Aragorn, Swift Hunter (Both easy to get). Then add 4x Focus, anything that gets through to the skirmish gets the strength dropped by 6 for no cost (’cause of focus).
 
 
If you don’t like that idea, just get Aragorn, Driven By Need w/ Aragorn’s Bow, Ranger’s Longbow and the new Anduril (For extra vitality). If you can heal him, you can exhaust him to remove all your threats, then dish out another five wounds... |

| I like his idea of shuffling wounds around, though a couple focus would still be good. Toss in another anduril(if you can get it) either aragorn’s bow and maybe an elven bow. |

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.   |
