In archery it is awesome, you can grab many miles as it was said, but you can also grab elven marksmanship when you remove a token. |

This card is broken. If you discard Ancient Blade to discard a minion, reconcile, remove a token to play to play Ancient Blade again, discard a minion, and reconcile, until all minions are discarded. Broken! Unless I am incorrect in my assumption you can play Ancient Blade back on a companion during the regroup phase only to discard it and play it again, this card is soon to be banned. Any thoughts??? |

well, out of the high airs does this all at once, and no one never said it was broken, and you can use it with ents and radagast, that’s pretty much distructive. Sméagol does it too with 2 burdens. And this way you’re saying you would have no minions but you would have 8 twilight tokens for 4 minions not too friendly for a double move.
It’s not a broken combo, it’s maybe just a good combo. People seem to be missing the diference between good and broken these days. |

What I think is more broken with him is that Ancient Blade not only discards a minion, it also reconciles your hand. Combo this with Ranger of Osgiliath to get rid of all the cards you don’t want, and you can set up either a perfect Shadow hand or a perfect Free Peoples hand. With Secluded Homestead, you can reconcile even more (although you won’t be discarding minion).
Oh, and with Leaving Forever, Gil-galad basically says "Remove an token to discard a condition".

Those are some good combos, I like ’em! To remedy the huge twilight adding of playing Ancient Blade over and over again, I think I’ll use Gandalf with Gandalf’s Hat. Not in the same league as using Treebeard, Keeper of the Watchwood with Steadfast Champion, but it’s a powerful combination nonetheless. |

Excellent point. This combo is good, not broken. Man, with Elven Supplies, that’s a good deck, though! Especially because you can use it to set up an ideal Shadow hand. |

I can’t say this card is broken, but I do think that Elves should never have such easy condition recursion. Recursion should not be an strength, except when it comes to events. If he’d just had the event text, he’d still be great. The condition thing is a bit too much for me.
