Legolas3333, I have to say, you build very good decks!

I would add some banners blowing, Starglass, and maybe Goldberry for strength boost and Nffatrod

You can't use Aragorn's Bow, Ranger's Longbow with Anduril, Flame of the West.

I tried Well-travelled Guide, I think he is awesome. In my deck I added the following

Pippin, HosI
Make Haste x4
Daddy twofoot
Home and Hearth x2/3

This eliminates the need for 9fFatRoD (9 F Fat Rod...?) and the exertions which you need for Sting, ELK, and adds some good healing and burden removal. Mine was Expanded so I used an additional part to the deck

Smeagol
Be Back Soon x4
and the Frodo that pulls Smeagol from discard

Keep it Standard and if you can incorporate the Pippin, HosI engine you have some minion discard/choke.

Use The Great Ring. You will need it, and with the above, burdens shouldnt be a problem

focus on gondor skirmish events and burden removal.  Use the great ring for Frodo's skirmish events.  Actually, instead of burden removal you could just increase he resistance with salt from the shire and phials.

you need at least 3x faithful stone. that way, when they play 3 minions, you can stop all of them from skirmishing. i usually put 4x in my decks.

  I was never a big fan of choke decks in standard other than solo smeagol and maybe hobbits with him but if you want some suggestion i would say: put some sitepath manipulation! Maybe Pathfinder will do it, or that one that exerts but play 2 sites when in region 2. If you dont have any way of ensure your own sites i predict that you could have a "sitepath death" very easly. Since you run only 2 comps Doorway to Doom play repeatdly with a well placed stewards tomb finih your deck without any minion being played.

yeah but what should i take out?

Well, what is the highest card number you're willing to go to?
I'd say if you wanted to, you could take out 1x Pledge of Loyalty and possibly 1x Star-Glass (Although depending on how many cards you want to have in your deck you might only have to take out just the 1x Pledge of Loyalty.)

You could also run this Freeps side with a site manipulation shadows and bid to go second...

Heck Go with dain's WTG and Bearer of Quality.

 Tom + One Whom Men would Follow = 16 strength fighting Tom Bombadil :mrgreen:

I'm confused... Why would you put the bow in if aragorn is already an archer?  Just throw in some banner's blowing and something to heal your companions. 
Title: Re: Aragorn, WTG
Post by: legolas3333 on June 03, 2009, 10:48:09 PM
yeah, more for the direct wounding, i took it out for now and added banners blowing

I love banners!  It's like having 2 events in one.  Hey, smart move on the salt of the shire.  I never realized it was non-unique.  Have you considered using little master with strength in my blood?  You could stack 2 copies of it.  One for aragorn and on for frodo
