You do not need Legolas' Bow, as he is already Archer and you have hardly cards to use that bow. Your Healing is really bad, and there is no condition discard!

Healing and condition discard are two things, elves are known for. Think about Asfaloth, Swift Blossom, Farewell to Lorien, Elrond, Vernerable Lord or Lothlorien Guides, Namarie, Leaving forever, Hadhafang or Seclusion.

You only have two skirmish events - That is not much for Elrohir and Elladan. Think at Kindreds Estranged, Still Needed (City of the Trees Combo), Attunement and Defiance.

Celebring and Galadriels Silver Ewer are important for every single Galadriel, BoW Deck (as ringbearer)!




Try something like this:

Galadriel, BoW and the Ring of Rings
Legolas, of the grey company
Rumil, Silvan Elf
2x Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men
2x Gil-Galad, High King of the Noldor
2x Elven Bow
2x Still Needed
2x City of the trees
2x Spied from Afar
Celebring, Elven Smith
Galadriel's Silver Ewer
Dinendal, Mirkwood Archer
2x Namarie
2x Nenya
2x Farewell to Lorien
2x Elven MArksmanship
2x Weapons of Lothlorien
Take up the Bow
Uncertain Future
Into the West
Glimpse of Fate
Let Fly
Reckless we Rode

As there are only 5 companions, you do not need fear Invincable Uruk, Black Assassin, Gorgoroth Swarm and others...
Nenya heals your companions, make you loose initiative for glimpse of Fate and gives an elf Card for Legolas. Legolas makes with his wound Rumil an Archer.

For surviving minions, you use the Still Needed, City of trees, Glimpse of Fate Combo, to make minions strength -4 each skirmish.

This way, you get a lot of tokens on Namarie and Uncertain future with Silver Ewer. Uncertain Future provides you an elf Cards, as Nenya does. With tokens, you get your Elven Marksmanship, spied from Afar and Take up the bow back into play with Gil-Galad.
So you can discard those conditions, if you need them, every turn.

Into the West removes threats, taken by Weapons of Lothlorien. As you already know, there is an elven card, you do not need to fear a shadowcard (Again, Nenya, Still Needed, Uncertain Future).

If you wish more a Greenleaf like Legolas, you could actually use Skeptical Guide as well. Just add another Into the West and enjoy the show!

Try to add
2x Saruman, Agent of the dark Lord or Saruman, Servant of Sauron
2x Broken in Defeat / Ghastly Wound
2x Berserker Torch
Fortitude
Final Triumph
Pallando Deceived
Radagast Deceived
Alatar Deceived
Throne of Isengard (make Lurtz fierce!)
Broken Heirloom is nice too.
maybe play Siege bow, Anduin Banks, Doorway to Doom and Stewards Tomb to keep the fellowship exhausted.





PS: Sorry for my bad typing... I am in a hurry.
