From my point of view, Legolas, Greenleaf is better.

I don't think these are necessary:

Golden Light on the Land x3
A Blended Race x3
Blood of Numenor x3
Not feared in sunlight x3
foes of mordor

I would try to remove these and add Gandalf. If you want some anti-moria stuff, add PATHS or Song of Durin (this one actually stays for more than a turn). Against Isengard, you can use Betrayal of Isengard to kill Saruman and it actually helps against Moria as well. Then if you want to kill sauron, add some condition removal like Sleep Caradhras.

I would agree with c10ckw0rk on the Greenleaf suggestion.  Gandalf is not necissary for a 3 hunters deck.  I would recommend adding in Saga of Elendil and Tale of Gil-Galad in order to boost legolas' and aragorn's vitality to make GL text and aragorn's bow's text better.  Also some Swordsman of the Northern Kingdom or Swordsarm of the white tower might be nice to boost aragorn.  Flaming Brand is also a nice boost for aragorn.  I would also recommend several Athelas to discard conditions that may be placed on you (such as Ring-Wraith's Black Breath and Blade Tip).

Thanks for the suggestions.  I've never used
Golden Light on the Land x3
A Blended Race x3
Blood of Numenor x3
Not feared in sunlight x3
foes of mordor
before and I wanted to see how they faired.  I haven't been able to test them yet, but I will get back to you all soon with a report as to their effectivness.  Song of Durin was a great idea.  As for greenleaf, as much as I like him, he doesn't have the aragorn signet which is the whole point of the deck.  Then again, I should be using no mere ranger then, eh?  Anyways, I was thinking of coupling it with an Urak-hai weather condition shadow...

With Legolas SoT just make sure you stack the site path and he's pretty decent. Could always put in The Splendor of Their Banners to give him a potential extra archery each turn.

I personally don't like no mere ranger because you have to exert... Uruk-Hai weather condition shadow... I don't think it's strong enough... maybe Isengard Orc with wizard storm?

yeah, it works pretty well.  I've always wanted to build a weather deck.  Anyway, with wizard storm and saruman's snows with a handful of urak-hai, like troop of Urak-hai from set 1 really hurts.  I'll post it later.  The point I'm trying to make, is that it worked pretty well, I was surprised.

Frodo, Reluctant Adventurer with the One Ring, Isildur's Bane
Gimli, Dwarf of Erebor
Legolas, Son of Thranduil

Aragorn, King in Exile x3
Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Wood
Rumil, Elven Protector
Orophin, Lorien Bowman

Ranger's Sword
Aragorn's Bow
Bow of the Galadhrim
Long Knives of Legolas*
Gimli's Battle Axe
Hand Axe
Dwarven Bracers
Sting
Mithril Coat
Armor

Endurance of Dwarves
The Saga of Elendil
The Tale of Gil-Galad
The Last Alliance of Elves and Men

Secret Sentinels x2
No Mere Ranger x4
Hobbit Stealth x2
Pathfinder x3

The Prancing Pony
Bree Gate
Rivendell Waterfall
Hollin
The Bridge of Khazad-Dum
Lothlorien Woods
Silverlode Banks
Pillars of the Kings
Tol Brandir

Don't bid, go second, triple move to site four on the first turn (assuming a draw of Galadriel or Pathfinder in your first hand). After the Bridge of Khazad-Dum, you are clear-sailing on rivers and forests so the archery total is at least three (Pathfinder...unfortunately, Galadriel is not much help after site six!). Pick off an orc or two every so often with Rumil, Elven Protector if the swarm gets bad.

Those are my thoughts. I've never played Uruk-Hai weather, but it sounds interesting.

Uruk weather only slows a fellowship down.  It can't do much more than that, fun though.

I'd like to see what kind of 'Uruk Weather' you use.

Post by: jdizzy001 on September 20, 2009, 02:03:43 PM
sorry it took so long, here it is...

lurtz servant of isengard x2
troop of uruk-hai
uruk-hai armory
uruk warrior x3 (one of my personal favorites)
uruk captain x2
orthanc assassin x2 (aka little lurtz)
saruman servant of the eye x2
tower of orthanc
uruk lieutenant
savagery to match their numbers x4
wizard storm x4
uruk messenger x4
saruman's snows x3

I know there are better uruk combinations, but I play with physical cards so I don't have 4 copies of all cards.
