6 companions is the worst number you can run. Run under 5 or 9, typically. I would run 2 more elves with 2 more Elven Bows and Dinendal, then possible Aragorn, Thorongil.

why are 6 companions that bad NB? elrohir built a standart deck which means that he won't face shotgun enquea e.g. ;) if your opponent plays shadowcards which apply to 6 companions ("while you can spot 6 companions....") it doesn't matter if you got 6,7,8 or 9 companions: those cards are almost activated.

to my mind the decks mixes fighting and wounding too much up. if i were you, i'd focus on wounding and use arargorn, thorongil (add his bow) + 2 Elven Guardian's and 2 or 3 Sword of the Fallen for skirmishes.
you can start with Rumil, Silvan Elf + Orophin, Silvan Elf --> play aragorn with The Prancing Pony and Faramir or Gimli with East Wall of Rohan.

you can also drop:
- Glimpse of Fate
- Strands of Elven Hair
- Sapling of the White tree
- Scroll of Isildur
- Aiglos
- Asfaloth, Swift Blossom
- Shake off the shadow

I do fear 6 companion cards like Gorgoroth Swarm or invincible Uruk. So I play 5 companions and an extra companion, in case, someone dies.

@king89: I wanted to do some wounds for the city of the trees + Still Needed combo (+glimpse of Fate).

Thanks to King89 and Nbarden for suggestions. And thanks to GarrisonofGondor, who told me how to build the deck with my taste!

Ah, I see. I have a friend who does that too.

Well, rule of 5 stuff is still in standard. I prefer 9 companion fellowships myself.
