1X Above the Battlement

1X Desperate Measures
1X You Bring Great Evil
The strategy for the shadow minions is power. With the Gate Troll while I can spot another troll it is twilight cost -4 and it is strength +1 for each Sauron Minion I can spot. With Tower Walkway all the besiegers are strength +1 for each site I control and with tower walkway all Sauron Orks are strength +1 for each Besieger stacked on a site I control, they just work together. Then there is Thin and Stretched and the Desperate Defense of the Ring, With Thin and Stretched the free peoples basically either adds a burden or jeopardizes the Ring-bearer which can hurt the companions resistance in turn, with Desperate Defense of the Ring you can give the free peoples a headache by making them have to either discard 3 cards from hand or adding a burden, this can discourage a player from using some of their better companions. And the Orc Besiegers are a nice touch.
The free peoples are mainly Gondorian Men and a few other various companions. There aren’t any extremely clever combinations of cards, I have Aragorn which while he has Gondor bow, Knight’s mount, the Saga of Elendil, Ranger’s sword, and flaming brand is strength 13 and vitality 5, while skirmishing an Uruk-Hai strength 15 (Ranger’s Sword) And while skirmishing a Nazgul strength 15 DAMAGE +1 (Flaming brand ) and if he has 2 flaming Brands he is strength 16 and damage +2, with out pump ups. Call me a country bumpkin but that is pretty exiting just thinking about it. As you have probably noticed, this is a knight deck, and also a common variety of knights weapons right? right. To most of you this is probably a so-so deck so I would be happy if you could recommend some cards to me.

yo I would use elendil, the tall and garrison of gondor in there for sure and maby think about using isildur as your ring bearer. I would also for sure take out the elves and maby gandalf? should also use alot more fortification and put in 2 gondor still stands too for repeated use of some of the nice fortifications. and also take out Henneth Annun(its for rangers)

Get rid of all non- companions(with the posibble exception of Frodo) use more Fourth Level and Citadel of the Stars, and definetly get a Garrison of Gondor and Elendil if possible. Also what Ring do you use? |

i have to agree, if you still keep a non-gondor companion in, keep gildor. why not through in a gondorian steed? kind of few companions in your starting don’t you think? fourth level works extreemly well, then throw in one or two gondor bow, and one sixth level. |

Hey dude, you got too many companions in this deck...
Somthing else too, why in the world would you have Gildor if you have the max number of companions in a deck? Isn’t he like for swarm defense? I don’t see you being swarmed out easily... Something you may want to consider would be putting in Alcarin, Warrior of Lamedon in place of Gildor. (this is a knight deck after all) |

| even though you want to follow the knight theem, faramir captain of gondor is always good to have because of the extra twilight it takes out. alcaran is a good thing to point out sickleofvalar, he is an almost must in knight decks. |

Why is Alcarin, Warrior of Lamedon always used in knight decks?
His first text is okay but his asignment text is not very good because there are few fortifications than can be transferred in manu  |

| I saw that there were some fortifications and I immediately considered Alcarin for this deck. When you’ve taken archery or have been exerted/wounded by a shadow event, Alcarin’s text is great! Don’t keep a narrow view Mr. bobtheorc. |

But since his text is assignment you would have to move again and leave a minion with a fortification alive or use First and Second Level I have a knight deck and it seems to do just fine without him. |
