basically i've always enjoyed legolas greenleaf, and gorn's bow, and i decided to make a deck based around that, and shoulder to shoulder and The Choice of Lúthien to "reload" in the manuever. i know, its probably never going to be a bullet proof deck, but keeping that as the core, i'm open to suggestions.

the shadow is another thing i've always wanted to do but never did, and thats a twilight deck, using all the twilight guys and twilight nazzies. again, with that staying at the core, i'm open to suggestions. it played fairly well in its first playtest, and i've made some adjustments since.

thanks for any reviews.

Maybe a copy or 2 of Lend Us Your Aid to help you win the skirmishes. I think you desperately need condition/possession removal and BRC is one of the best. Why not run Gimli's Battle Axe instead of Axe of Erebor. It also helps with the wounding idea of the deck.

As for the shadow... all those events will clog your hand. 4 copies of The Ring is Mine is too much and there is not a very good chance of winning skirmishes. Fell Beast would help a lot. Twilight Nazgul without His Terrible Servants is like Rohan without horses - severely weakened.

Also, when I make a corruption shadow, I make sure I go second (which means bid 1 or 2) and play Pellenor Flat as site 5. Your freeps are quite vulnerable to corruption and your site path is not helping you. I almost always run Frodo, Resolute Hobbit with a Corruption Shadow.

Another thing that goes well with almost any shadow, but it would go great with yours is Gollum, DaD, few copies of Captured by the Ring and Northern Ithilien as site 8.

I think I saw  a deck like this back on cc...

Would drop the Witchking and go for more Otsea. What if you don't get the pool and do have a Witchking and it wants to be found? Obviously your deck is not about killing, but is about burdening. Maybe a Gollum twist is nice as well, with Northern Ithilien and his regroup wounding ability...

i'm gonna make a few tweaks. we'll see how it fairs through its next trial.
