Hey guys. For the longest time, my decks have been sorta... messed up. Spread around. Generally destroyed. But with the order I got today, I decided to bring them back. So... I’ll be posting thme here for review and help. So... here’s the first.

Elven Hunters/Tokens: (40)

Ring-Bearer and Ring:
Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom
with
The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry

Starters: (2)
Arwen, She-elf
Rumil, Silvan Elf

Other Companions: (7)
Orophin, Silvan Elf x2
Elven Guardian x2
Aragorn, Defender of Free Peoples x3

Possessions: (8)
Asfaloth
Ranger’s Sword
Blade of Lindon
Hadafang
SWord of the Fallen x4

Conditions: (11)
Gift of the Evenstar, Blessed Light
Shadow Between
Strength of Arms
Agility x2
Namarie x3
Uncertain Future x2
The Last Alliance of Elves and Men

Events: (12)
Farewell to Lorien x2
Hearth and Hall x2
Supporting Fire x4
Spring Forth Nimbly x4

Strategy:
Arwen + Aragorn + Tokens = WOW
No minion can survive.
Orophin, Rumil, and Guardians provide hunters for Namarie and Hearth and Hall. Load them up with Sword of the Fallen, and you can take advantage of their "wounded minion" abilities, and use those events to make sure they win, too. Farewell to Lorien can give some healing (although I’m considering taking them out, or replacing them with Trust). Shadow Between helps cycling and healing, too. The rest seems pretty self-explanitory.

It’s 40 cards, and that’s pretty big. I’m thinking of paring it with nazzies, but I’m not totally sure. Is there any way to slim it down, or make it better? Thanks for the help!

Okay, here’s the nazzies I paired it with, I just gave it a quick test, and it worked great!

Nazzie Beat-Down: (40)

Minions: (22)
The Witch-King, Lord of Angmar (Good Beater)
The Witch-King, Conquerer of Arthedain (Got some decent exerting)
The Witch-King, Deathless Lord (Because I don’t have any other Wikkies Wink

)
Ulaire Attea, Black Predator x2 (Strong, and cycling)
Ulaire Enquea, Duplicitous Lieutenant (Removes conditions)
Ulaire Cantea, Fourth of the Nine Riders (Strong, fierce Nazzie)
Ulaire Nelya, Third of the Nine Riders x2 (Site cycle)
Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Guldur x4 (Okay, I know this is expanded, but all my friends play open. This is the only restricted card I use, though)
Ulaire Lemenya, Lieutenant of Morgul x4(Makes companions weaker)
Ulaire Otsea, Black Specter x2 (Condition removal)
Bill Ferny, Swarthy Sneering Fellow x2 (Nice for a killer at site 2)

Possessions: (2)
Black Flail x2 (for Wikkie)

Conditions: (16)
Black Breath x4 (Fairly obvious)
Blade Tip x4 (Again, obvious)
More Unbearable x2 (To get initiative for...)
Stooping to the Kill x2 (...this. Make each Nazzie d+1).
Unending Life x2 (Rule of 6 hate, and heals for...)
Winged and Ominous (...this! Adds twilight. Nazzies rule!)
Out of Sight and Shot (Pulls what you need)

Any advice?

If Cobra gets it back in stock and I have 15$ to spare... but yeah, that’s what this deck needs to rock!

Mod, please move this to open.

Seriously, you’re sitcking Nertea and 2x Ferny, SSF in expanded? No. Move it to open.

Okay, I’ll go ahead and assume this deck is perfect, since no one has anything to say. Wink

Or maybe it’s just too horrible and weird to say anything about.

Anyways, here’s the next deck; Nazzie Swarm!

Minions: (21)
The Witch-King, Black Captain
The Witch-King, Captain of the Nine Riders
Ulaire Attea, Thrall of the One x2
Ulaire Toldea, Eighth of the Nine Riders
Ulaire Toldea, Thrall of the One
Ulaire Enquea, Sixth of the Nine Riders
Ulaire Enquea, Black Threat
Ulaire Cantea, Thrall of the One
Ulaire Cantea, Faster Than Winds
Ulaire Nelya, Thrall of the One
Ulaire Nelya, Black Hunter
Ulaire Otsea, Thrall of the One x2
Black Rider x2
Ulaire Nertea, Thrall of the One x2
Ulaire Lemenya, Thrall of the One

Conditions: (9)
Ghastly Host x2
Hatred Stirred
Out of Sight and Shot
Bent on Discovery x3
Moving This Way x2

Events: (6)
There Came a Cry x3
Dark Swooping Shadows x2

Artifacts: (2)
Ring of Rancor x2

Okay, this deck sets up for one major swarm, site 9, at a site like Fangorn Glade. Here’s how I play it and why I chose the cards I did:

The purpose is to drop one copy of every nazgul I’ve got (and one of Black Rider). This is accomplished with hand extention with Bent on Discovery and Out of Sight and Shot. A combination of Moving This Way and the fellowship with Gloin, Son of Groin, puts at least one copy of each nazgul you need beneath the deck. Eventually, the deck will be all minions, so you can just pull the ones you need. Twilight of minions for the swarm is reduced by Ghastly Host. You can see the threat adding cards. Ring of Rancor lets you play a Nazgul, only to snatch it back to hand to play again, since you don’t want to waste many of them over the course of the game.

Here’s the minions I would be swarming with at the end:
Witch-King, CotNR (toil)
Attea, TotO (enduring for toil)
Toldea, TotO (enduring for toil)
Enquea, Black Threat (toil)
Cantea, Faster Than Winds (against big fellowships, adds more needed threats when you play him)
Nelya, TotO (Enduring)
Otsea, TotO (enduring)
Black Rider x2 (non-uniqe nazzie. Any questions. Multi-companion hate)
Nertea, TotO (enduring)
Lemenya, TotO (enduring)

The other minions are basically trash to throw beneath or spot to get out other cards, or keep Bent on Discovery Out.

Site 8 plays the third Bent on Discover and Wikkie, so I can have 11 cards in hand and out of sight and shot for a potential 12 nazzies.

Any thoughts?

Good deck, but 38 cards is big even for a Moria

swarm. I would cut it down to 35 cards or under. Maybe drop a copy of Bent on Discovery, There Came A Cry, Ulaire Otsea, Thrall of the One, and Ulaire Attea, Thrall of the One. Thumbs Up
