Hm...

Methinks the deck is more effective with the sporatic healing removed and a refuge package run. I mean, you've already got 7 extra companions. I think that Namarie would perhaps work better, than company of archers, since its a 2 for 1.

My multicultural wounding deck, which I've been doing pretty well with, ran an initiative and a refuge style package.

[alehaak]

initiative with that gondor condition ? how do you lose initiative?
do you think 7 companions are enought to put a refuge on this deck?
I'm thinking to remove 4x nocked and 2 elrond to put 2 refuge....

[SomeRandomDude]

I think that a refuge package needs more companions.

Refuge is a dedicated strategy, either go for it hard (10+ SPARE copies of companions) or ignore it.

I use Rohirrim Guard, Gloin, Son of Groin, Robin Smallburrow, Shirrif Cock-Robin, Daddy Twofoot + playing whatever event he nabs, Gandalf, Powerful Guide. Of course, I also pack Glimpse of Fate, A Light In His Mind and Brooding on Tomorrow. But I run about a dozen companions + Shadowplay/Unheeded, Dinendal, Rumil, Legolas, Aragorn's Bow (regular) with Aragorn, Thorongil, Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver with Faramir, Bearer of Quality. So it wounds pretty effectively and gives a variety of tools to use.

[alehaak]

how do you use this deck? You have to spot 2 elves to play glimpse, 2 hobbits to play shadowplay and you are using farabir RB !
can you send me your decklist by PM ?
=)

[SomeRandomDude]

If I can find it...

My starting Fellowship is Faramir, Pippin, Merry and Legolas. I then run Gandalf, Rumil, Aragorn, Thornogil, Gloin and Rohirrim Guard. I play the shadowplay, then bounce Merry Swordthain to discard and circumvent the rule of 9. Shadowplay is in play, a Light in his Mind stops working, but by the time I get my 10th companion there's not usually a corruption threat.

Its essentially a toolbox.

[alehaak]

your initiative deck is so hard ! oO
i had one, but it was simpler... with smeagol and the guard...

[SomeRandomDude]

Well...it ran Refuge to, so pretty much the Hobbits killed most everything + Rohirrim Guard. The rest of the stuff was just gravy, it came as it did and helped the game some. Like I said, it was more of a toolbox.

reworking on the second idea:

*The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry (7R2)
*Gimli, Bearer of Grudges (RB)(9R+4)
*Legolas, Woodland Emissary (11R22)
*Rumil, Silvan Elf (17S12)

3x Citadel Of Minas Tirith (3R40)
4x Gondor Bowmen (3R41)
2x Namarie (17U10)
4x Quick As May Be (4U53)
3x *Aragorn's Bow, Ranger's Longbow (15R56)
1x *Brego (4U263)

A few comments on the NG side:

- Personally I like to stick with Threatening Guide primarily (wanting as many threats as possible), and Stinker as backup (corrupting the Ring-bearer if the threats were swallowed as burdens). So I'd run We Must Have It to increase the chance of pulling/replaying one of them, and possibly drop Mad Thing and Hopeless in the process.

- Huge fan of Not Easily Avoided, so I suggest it every chance I get. Helps set up faster, cycle, and can even boost Shelob (Gollum, too) as well. And of course if Shelob can win her skirmish, that's another exertion from Promise Keeping.

- You're a Liar and a Thief is a great card in Expanded. In combination with Promise Keeping and Incited, one copy can kill a 3-vitality companion that wasn't even assigned to a skirmish (plus exert another). I'd definitely try to fit more in.

how is it now?

[legolas3333]

yes um why no thorongil? you could use him instead of driven by need then dump rumil for glorfindel to remove threats...

[Smeagollum]

Where is the multicultural shadow?

[alehaak]

Where is the multicultural shadow?

Multicultural wounding is the fellowship
Ninja Gollum is the Shadow

Sorry for didn't making this clear.

Glorfindel, Eldarin Lord remove 1 threat, when aragorn remove 3. which gives me 2 more shots per turn. And the main idea is don't fight.
