A decklist?? I spent just about four paragraphs explaining the combo, then had a decklist, then spent two more solid paragraphs discussing strategy. Then I included matchups. A decklist??

And I don’t possibly see how the Aragorn’s Bow and Hearts Raised combo can have more than one deck. It’s not a strategy like Nazzie Corp or Rangers in general.

I miss the days when people didn’t need five decklists and a heap of strategy writing to give an article a decent rating...

Yes i DO think that this is plainly a decklist. A well-formed, strategy based, nice to the eye DECKLIST.

It has the major idea, major card’s usefuleness and possible matchups.

Don’t take me wrong, i liked it since it was small and interesting, but you need to expand this as a strategy. Just make one more thing: into the west. That should cover this type of strategy 99%.

I think it is fine as it is, really he has lots of setup, a sample decklist, and match-ups. its a 5 article IMO(of course I am not very harsh with my ratings)

No problem, I think my reaction was actually a bit over the top as well...

I did take a look at Into the West when writing this article, but I figured it wasn’t really worth it to include a lone Elf. In Expanded, with Greenleaf, I think I would consider it. I’ll probably have a look at including that rationale in my article.

Cool article. Since you’re playing Standard format though, you need to drop Sword of Gondor x4 and add a different weapon (I suggest Ithilien Blade).

I would also add a little tidbit during your strategy part explaining why you used Frodo instead of one of the 3 Gondor
