As the physical cards are getting harder to find these days, I gathered a large physical collection of common and nostalgic decks to play with family and friends as a pre-built game. I'm posting these decks as a reference and for feedback/discussion to improve on them. The decks are split into free peoples and shadow sides, all interchangeable at 35 cards each. There are some obvious drawbacks in doing it this way, but it is 100% worth it to allow mixing/matching and keeping each game unique and interesting. The idea is to make thematic and fun strategies while maintaining a balance. These are built with physical cards, so any in the $100+ range are not always going to make it in for their high costs and to maintain balance among the decks. I include cards from the Expanded format and rules, but some decks might also fit into other formats. This is one of those decks:
[Elven] Elven Archery - Free Peoples (Expanded)
This is an attempt at an elven archery deck. They are never very good without going full wounding with something like Eowyn, Lady of Rohan and are weak to things that skip archery, but this sometimes works.
Starting:
The One Ring, The Binding Ring
Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom
Legolas, of the Grey Company
Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men
Companions:
Rumil, Brother of Haldir x2
Celeborn, Lord of the Galadhrim x2
Elrond, Venerable Lord x2
Aegnor, Elven Escort
Naith Troop
Possessions:
Nenya, Ring of Adamant x2
Elven Bow x4
Asfaloth, Elven Steed
Hadafang
Events:
Must Be a Dream x4
Still Needed x2
Attunement x4
Inside a Song x3
Conditions:
The Splendor of Their Banners
Uncertain Future x3
Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor would be huge for this deck. I would find a way to put 2-3 of them in here if I had them.
I've considered Into the West to control burdens or threats.
I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
