Aragorn Estel with Uruk-hai PC fellowship block playtest

[elfwarrior]

Here is a version of my PC fellowship block deck I'm working on featuring Aragorn Estel and Uruk-hai. I play classic Fellowship block so I had not played the deck in a while. Feedback and advice are welcome. Instructions are after the decklist in the notes section.



I tested in in the Yuletide league while playing 8 games to get holiday promos. Played a ninth game because I had a run of bad games. I won that ninth game. Went 5-4. But one win he conceded when I could not kill Frodo and only get a stop. but I was going to site nine with 3 companions vs Sauron. I thought it wasn't over. Still 4 clear wins out of casual deck. And one loss was to tentacles that I did not prepare for. And I made mistakes. The deck also has trouble with Sauron grind which I lost to twice. Once a could have played around enduring evil by sacrificing Legolas but I risked Frodo and lost to enduring evil. Went 1-1 vs Nazgul. A normal win and a mystery win against  two Sauron decks. And two wins vs Moria, one freeps win and one last chance Shadow win.

Notes

Starting: Arwen, Legolas

Bid 2 to go for Aragorn Estel and use him to get Rumil. Then you only need one more elf ally for 2 elf ally to go with Elrond. Flaming brands are for Arwen and Boromir. Galariel can heal Legolas Greenleaf or any other elf. Boromir can heal himself to use Blade of Gondor or Gondor Bowmen and He's a backup if you don't get to go first and don't have Aragorn because he can use Last Alliance and flaming brand. Power up Aragorn and Arwen. Use archery to get out of trouble. Defiance can give Aragorn +2 from his ability or +4 for Arwen vs a Nazgul. Silverlode Banks can help vs Dwarves and Hobbits but can be painful if Arwen dies and you don't draw Boromir because Aragorn Estel is not a ranger. Sam is to help vs corruption


Shadow is Uruk-hai with trackers for Tol Brandir. Just a modified classic Fellowship block shadow that probably needs adjusting for PC fellowship block. Just do lots of damage with damage +1 Urukhai and make them fierce.


Thank you,

I would drop the Balrog. He isn't as strong as 3 uruks at site 5. Perhaps replace it with Greed.
