I'm looking for a good movie block Elven Archery deck. I want to utilize my foil Double Shot x4 and foil Elven Bow x4. The deck can use Galadriel, Lady Redeemed (people in my area play with her since she isn't actually x-listed) or not. It can include Aragorn (probably ET) and Aragorn's bow or not.
The deck needs to be 32 cards. Suggestions?

sounds like elven archery with a gorn splash maybe a few gondor bowmen would be your best bet.

Yes, but I was wondering if anyone has a good list already. I was thinking something like:
Legolas, Greenleaf
Glorfindel, RiW
Galadriel, Lady Redeemed
Aragorn, ET x4
Gil-Galad, EHK
Elrond, VL
Arwen, QoEaM
Cirdan, TS
Elven Bow x4
Aragorn's Bow x2
Double Shot x4
Reckless We Rode x4
Elf Song x2
Nenya, RoA x2
Aiglos
Tale of Gil-Galad
Shadow Between
But I'm certainly open to other suggestions. Eowyn, LoI could definitely go in here. Elf Song x2 could come out for Sam, SoH and some other card. Splendor definitely needs to fit in too.
Thoughts?

i have no decklist, and i think yours looks pretty solid. but i'd personnally probably run a galadriel RB and be careful with the tale of gil-galad. any condition removal could mess with you if its on someone like greenleaf who wants to exert.

I run something like this and it works very well.
Galadriel, BoW
The One Ring, ATAR
1x Legolas, Archer of Mirkwood (start)
1x Aegnor, EE (start)
1x Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men
1x Gil-Galad, Elven High King
2x Lorien Swordsman
1x Sam, SoH
1x Orophin, LB
1x Rumil, EP
1x Dinendal, SS
1x Calaglin, EoL
1x Aeglos
1x Nenya, Ring of Adamant
4x Elven Bow
1x Asfaloth
2x Blades Drawn
2x The Splendor of Their Banners
1x The Tale of Gil-Galad
4x Double Shot
2x Secret Sentinels
1x Alliance Reforged
2x That Is No Orc Horn
I actually run a bigger deck with fast shadow and much better cycling, but with limit to 32 cards, this is what I would take. It will take out most shadows in archery and it can hold very well in skirmish. With all bows and archers out, Aegnor can decimate opponents and Legolas can heal him back. Blades Drawn can help a lot in skirmish too. In combo with Lorien Swordsman, exhausted Witch King loses to Lorien Swordsman. There is sufficient healing (Legolas, Nenya, RoA and TINOH) and condition discard (Secret Sentinels). Also, note that Aeglos and The Tale of Gil-Galad are to be played on either Galadriel or Aegnor depending on the matchup. They go on Galadriel to provide vitality for The Splendor of Their Banners or to Aegnor to provide vitality for his skirmish ability. So far, this deck had a very high win ratio and had most trouble with Corsairs (Corsair Marauder discards bows and thus weakens it greatly, especially since elves have no possession discard aside from Galadriel, LR so based on your meta, make the necessary changes.)

Starting:
Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms with The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
Glorfindel, Revealed in Wrath
Legolas, Greenleaf
Galadriel, Lady Redeemed
Free Peoples:
Aragorn, Elessar Telcontar x3
Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men x2
Cirdan, the Shipwright
Gil-Galad, Elven High King
Aragorn's Bow x2
Narsil, Blade of the Faithful
Ranger's Sword
Nenya, Ring of Adamant x2
Aiglos
Elven Bow x4
Gondor Bowmen x4
Shadow Between
Might of Numenor x3
Double Shot x4
That is 33 cards. Blades Drawn would be the next card that I added, in case you were curious. Gondor Bowmen takes advantage of Isildur and you otherwise get a nice number of wounds in there per turn. Gil-Galad cleans up on the back end.
Might of Numenor and Nenya, Ring of Adamant are your only Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul protection, so be careful. Obviously, the more companions, the better.

I also run a similar version, with no Eowyn, but running 4x Elrond, Keeper of Vilya.

Thanks for all the suggestions. Part of the final build will depend on what foils I have available (all my movie block decks are completely foiled except for a few sites). I'll post my final list once I build it, play it a few times, and tweak it, but right now I'm leaning towards something along these lines:
Boromir or Isildur ringbearer
One Ring, ATAR
Legolas, Greenleaf
Glorfindel, RiW
Galadriel, LR
Aragorn, ET x4
Gil-Galad, EHK
Elrond, VL
Cirdan, TS or Arwen QoEaM
Sam, SoH
Elven Bow x4
Aragorn's Bow x2
Aiglos
Nenya, RoA x2
Gondor Bowmen x4
Shadow Between
The Tale of Gil-Galad
Double Shot x4
Reckless We Rode x2
I may end up cutting one or two cards to fit in a few more elven events.

Ah, you younglings... every one now goes for sheer power. ;) Have you noticed that only Elven Bow and Son of Hamfast are not rare in that deck?
Galadriel, LR will prove much more a burden than aid in this deck. I suggest at least 4 more elven events and then even Cirdan could have his way. Otherwise, I'd swap Cirdan for Aegnor to help with skirmish. That is No Orc Horn should be among those events. It heals and liberates sites which could prove crucial against Dunland Site Control or some such.
