More Curse Them. Its that good. And yeah, Ithilien Trap. And why are you running exactly 6 comps? Run either 5 or 9. I recommend 9 in this case.

New Errand stinks. Run Ancient Roads over it anyday.

citadel of the stars is also nice! And I don't dislike New Errand at all! What is a minion is assigned to Frodo, 1 vitality? You could slay him...some sort of PATHS...if you like

Yeah, true, but its kinda...meh. I guess you can run it. Though Arrows Thick In The Air is better, IMHO.

Hmmm played RB Rangers for a long time so can tell you what's missing and what shouldn't be there.

Your deck is missing some KEY cards. Here they are:
*AT LEAST* 2x Mablung, Soldier of Gondor
1x Ranger's Bow
4x War and Valor

What can I say about Mablung, SOG? He will take down Sauron, WK, Shelob... any of them with two exertions. He *IS* your guy. You could add 3x or 4x to get him fast and keep him healed. I played him with some citadel of minas tirith and denethor, lomt so i could get him fast AND keep him healed, but since your playing TTT block, you could use 3x with no problems

Ranger's Bow is just too awesome not to have 4x of them and War and Valor is your event and you know y :D U probably didn't know it or forgot to add'em in ur deck :D He's the obvious best event for RB rangers.

By looking at ur deck I'd take out Anborn, SH, Trust and mortal men. That gives room for all cards I mentioned. I'd take out 3x New Errand and add 2x Curse them and another Mablung, SOG. Or maybe 1x Curse them, 1x Mablung, SOG and another Gondorian Ranger.

I think I changed your deck too much :D sorry but it was looking really bad. With these changes it will work a lot better, trust me.

EDIT: Man, just realized your frodo is totally unprotected! IMO You should add 2x Sting, BH and 1x Slinker. With all the burden removal ur getting, you could take some big guys with him. I think you should raise ur deck size, or take out 1x Sword of Gondor, 1x Garrison of Osgiliath and 1x Ranger's Bow (leaving 3x).

Careful with playing 6 companions with rangers..
I've found 4U249 Southron Commander is handy in every shadow deck, but for rangers it's automatic death...
My opinions may have changed, but not the fact that i'm right...

yeah ive been tinkering around with this in the ol' TT format as well.
I dont use New errand, though i can see it's worth.
mablung is essential, quite simply as is war and valor.

apart from that, ilike the deck - may even copy it to try for a bit!  :hey:

Mortal Men and Trust won't be used to their full potential so as others have said, War and Valor instead for skirmish event (the damage+1 is especially nice there). Also, for my Ringbound Rangers deck I have x2 Light Shining Faintly for heals because rangers (especially Mablung) get very exert-happy with their bows.
