Archery Only? (Shadow)

[Hobbit_Pizza]

Cool. 

[Hobbit_Pizza]

I tallied up all the archers from various cultures that cost 3 or less...
Maybe there's a way to make them work together without laughing?

Goblin Marksman 1C176
Goblin Bowman 2C60
Uruk Crossbowman 4C183
Southron Archer 4R245
Southron Bowman 4C248
Archer of Harad 11U67
Southron Murderer 13U98

And just for fun...

For old school Moria archery I'd suggest 2-3 Archer Commander, 4 each of Bowman, Marksman, and Archer Troop, and for crowd control Enquea LoM and Southron Archer Legion. Maybe splash Goblin Archer to counter Free Peoples archery. Some builds also toss in a Moria Axe for the Troop. What often ends up happening is the Ring-bearer is overwhelmed before actually becoming corrupted. 30-35 cards is a good size, I think.

Hybrids might get in the way of kill cards which are fortunately unfortunately culture-enforced. Uruk Archery likes lots of archers to power up Weapons of Isengard, Moria Archery likes to swarm, Morgul Archery needs to worry about initiative/burdens/threats, etc. A pairing with might show some promise, though... maybe / or / ? Or throw in Gothmog, Morgul Leader. At cost 6 for 3 wounds he's like three Goblin Bowman put together, and for just one card slot too.

I actually like the idea.

Howdah x 4

[Hobbit_Pizza]

Yeah I was thinking of Howdah ... maybe throw in some Archer commander x4 too.
Is there a  or  equivalent to an Archer Commander? Not quite verbatim, but something unique?

I don't think so. Can't think of any off the top of my head.

Know there isn't for , not sure about .

I wouldn't pack 4 Archer Commander, but maybe 1 or 2.

Moria Archer Troop is great bang for the buck. 6 twilight, big vitality/strength, and throws out 2 arrows usually.

yeah that's what I was thinking. I like moria archer troop too.

[Elessar's Socks]

I was thinking of sticking Gothmog, Morgul Leader (with Goblin Hordes recursion) into . That should at least equal levels since Gothmog is even more cost effective than Troop + second archer.

[SomeRandomDude]

Frenzy decks pwned massively. Bwahaha.

But then they got shut down.

Here's a strategy I like.

31 cards

Goblin Hordes x 4
Whisper in the Dark x 4

Saruman, Servant of Sauron x 4

Orkish Lackey x 4
Watchful Orc x 2
Black Land Cheiftain
Gothmog, Morgul Leader x 2
Mumak Commander, GATS x 2
Archer of Harad x 4
Southron Murderer x 4

Lackey + Whispers + Mumak Commander = PWNAGE!

Anyways, not quite archery, but close enough.

[Hobbit_Pizza]

I haven't tried this yet.

32 cards

Goblin Domain x 1
Goblin Swarms x 2
Host of THousands x 2
Relics of Moria x 1
Threat of the Unknown x 2
What Is This New Devilry x 1
Goblin Armory x 4

Goblin Scimitar x 4

Goblin Marksman x 4
Goblin Runner x 4
Goblin Bowman x 4
Archer Commander x 1
Moria Archer Troop x 1
Goblin Archer x 1

I would also like to make it work somehow with Must Do Without Hope, Power and Terror, Final Cry, and The Balrog, Flame of Udun.

If it were open, I could throw in Durin's Tower or Host of Moria.

Any suggestions?

As long as you know that Goblin Domain and What Is This New Devilry only work on the fellowship block sites.

So if I weren't playing Fellowship format, I could sub Goblin Domain and What Is This New Devilry for Durin's Tower and Host of Moria?

[Hobbit_Pizza]

What would be a good FP counterpart to this? Dwarfs I know for sure, but would anything else provide a high card turnover?

[Mythdracon]

Does What Is This New Devilry work in Open Format?

Anyhow, Shadow archery will likely need condition and possession removal to work against Elf decks that run Elven Armaments (and put them on unique companions, like Galadriel 8D).
