Yeah, pretty annoying this elven deck if you ask me
There are some evil ways of shutting him down with some sitepath manipulation and there are always some nasty shadows that do their tricks even before skirmishes. But this Gil-Ga.. i mean...deck pretty much discard all conditions, remove all threats, heal all companions and overwhelm one or two minions with tons of event you get back adding threats. I always foun the regroup hability of the new Gil pretty OP (yeah, the maneuver too) but that was almost like fruity loops.
Of course there are some ways to kill it, but i don't like the idea to make an deck specific to kill another (like i had to back in the
Lady Redeemed days) or you will just sit and watch while your shadow strategy goes to the thin. Or maybe you got lucky and kill Gil at site 2 with some nasty evil combo before he evens get a chance of doing his tricks.
Anyway, i must say that even i don't like in some way i have to admit is a nice deck! Maybe i'm just a little sad for being completely butchered by Gil and his twin grandsons
The good thing is that it motivates me to try harder some standard deck that is actually good.
