well, as some of you know, The Old Took and I don't play anything beyond Bloodlines, so we don't have to deal with
Namarie or Gil-Galad, but we do have an opinion about
LR. Basically we see her as an answer to the corsair problem (corsairs= instant kill to possession dependant decks, and destroy anything that doesn't have possession removal). Some of you may argue this, but I personally have to build all my decks with the question "How will this match up against Corsairs?" running through my mind.
But the Old Took and I are considering banning
LR anyway, because she is too effective against too many shadows. For us, it takes the fun out of the game when we are forced to resort to a couple of decks, instead of the whole range of LOTR TCG.
It appears that
Namarie/ Gil-Galad is a combo with causes the same situation. And it is GilGalad which is causing the problem, as someone else mentioned earlier. Get rid of him, and
Namarie is a good card still, but not the supernaturally awesome power it is with the high-king. Of course, there are positives and negatives, good things and bad things that can be said for both positions, but the fact remains that any card which dominates the meta as much as the High King has, is not really worth having around.
My vote is X-List
