Title: Somehow she survived this...
Post by: Bascas on July 20, 2012, 08:03:37 AM
My best friend, girlfriend, and I play a three header Lotr game every couple of days. My buddy plays a Stacking dwarves/Moria swarm, I play a take on rb rangers/corsair swarm, and the girlfriend often wins with big elf archers/ sauron orc trackers-hate.
Anyway, my friend and I were sure we had her with both of our swarms and she barely scrapes by and loses just one companion. This is site six or seven. Anyway, I thought I would post it for your entertainment and maybe get your take on it:

Bow of the Galadhrim, the bane of many swarm decks.

Agreed. When i checked the picture, it caught my eye legolas had 2 weapons. Problem solved.

Look closely, its not the fellowship version, its the crummy RotK one so it doesnt come out that dangerous.

Yep, she has actually read this and changed versions since it was mentioned. What ou don't see pictured here are the three feathered she somehow has in her hand. Pretty much made enduring useless on my castamir.

Yeah, I was wondering why Legolas had vitality to spare and Castamir was still alive.

I thinkt Legolas didn't shot directly and Castamir got the archery total, at least when the attached card on Galadriel isn't a bow.
Anyway, i don't see why she survived this until the card on Galadriel is an Elven Sword, 'cause she had only two cards in hand and they were events, which couldn't help galadriel and the bow on Legolas is the wrong one....

Which companion dies? Because this seems to be a pretty easy conundrum to get yourself out of, actually, with the 3x Feathered.

Wear ATAR and use the Still Needed/Hope Comes to make sure Galadriel survives, beat the Plunderer, now Arwen's winning, beat the Gunner, drop the 3x Feathered to clear out Castamir, Cirdan can exert to beat the Reinforcements, Aegnor exerts to drop the Numenorean (I'm guessing the card we can't see on Galadriel is an Elven Bow), now assign the Numenorean to Arwen for fierce, Arwen's winning because of the wounds on the Gunner, Plunderer and Numenorean.

Though if you'd exerted Legolas in the Archery phase to drop the Goblin Reinforcements, you could have actually powered Galadriel up and dropped the str 5 Goblin, and then exerted Gil-Galad to clear the board entirely for the double.

End result, exertion on Cirdan and Aegnor and 2 burdens on Galadriel.
