I like the idea of movie block, but it is fast becoming  ](*,)

I can't seem to win.. At all.  The only game of movie I have Ever won on gccg was in my first round tournament match against King89. Which seems hard to believe 'cause he is one of the best movie players that I have seen on gccg. Any advice on how to make this deck able to survive is appreciated. I have it paired with Southron at the moment built around Desert Lord / Seasoned Leader / Mounts (Because The twilite nazgul corruption I was playing seems useless)

I will post my southron shadow aswell, but would like to fix this freeps deck first (if it needs fixing) maybe just my bad playing is the reason I can't win..  ???

Always nice to have more people on movie block ranks.

Well, elves are probably the only culture i didn''t ever make any deck, simple cause i don't like their "auto-brokeness" (will not spam your threat explaining this) but if you wanna win they are a good way to go, and i have played against very solid elven deck.

- First of all i recommend you start Greenleaf instead of Arwen, he is more versatile and can help you more in the beggining (otherwise you could be Moria Swarmed at site 4 or 5).

- Elven Bow are nice but they can be useless or even a huge problem against many popular shadows, like enduring guls, high vantage southrons, shelob, cosairs, etc. I recommend you remove at least 2 of them and go for a more fighting aproach. Also you are missing some key cards: Aiglos (on Gil-Galad or Cirdan for a more beatdown aproach or on Greenleaf against Moria or Dunlad). Elven Sword can save Galadriel's life, Helps in cycling and works nicely with Glimpse of Faith.

- Sam, SoH !!!!  When i plan to make some new movie block deck with my real cards i think: "let's see how many Sam, SoH i have left!" He is your man against corruption and burdening. He can hit the table, remove 3 burdens, and be sacrificed to the more biggest and nasty minion you face next site  ;)

- I would also put some more companion copies and you may need some extra healing with Shadow Between. Also if you find room you can put Faramir, SoD and/or some copies of that "draw a lot of cards at fellowship phase" event. That way you can make your deck a little bigger.

- If Cirdain is your main character why not put his ring on the deck?

   Like i said i'm no experto on elves, but that was my toughts based on my experience playing against them.

   If you want tips for the southron side i probably can make some suggestions also (i play them for a long time in my Malachi's Ent Killer Deck" :P).

   Hope that helps.

You might consider adding Eowyn, LoI... for me, at least, she is a staple in archery decks to deal with the likes of Shelob or enduring minions.

I definitely recommend Gift of Foresight for this deck. Any deck with "El Rond Hubbard" needs to have a few copies to make sure you can heal.

My brother plays an Elvents/Telepathy deck that is pretty successful. I think the key to his deck is that he runs Gandalf, Manager of Wizards and then can use Brooding On Tomorrow for condition discard and Glimpse of Fate to take care of the strongest minions. He also runs Legolas, Fearless Marksman for the same reasons.

It is less Cirdan focused (he seems to be the least important companion), but here is his deck list, if you are interested:

Starting Fellowship:
Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom
Answer To All Riddles
Legolas, Fearless Marksman
Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men

Free Peoples (34):
Elrond, Venerable Lord x2
Cirdan, the Shipwright
Celeborn, Lord of the Galadhrim x2
Gandalf, Manager of Wizards x3
Sam, Son of Hamfast
Nenya, Ring of Adamant x2
Gwemegil
Bow of the Galadhrim
Elven Bow x3
Glamdring
Shadow Between
Glimpse of Fate x2
Brooding On Tomorrow x2
Double Shot x3
Still Needed x4
Gift of Foresight x3

I really think you should remove 4 Elven Bow for 4 Elven Sword. I prefer Aiglos over the tale of gil-galad. And as Pepin mentioned, you need to have some burden removals like Sam, SoH but you could also add some Elf Song as they are nice events for Cirdan.

1 Hall of the Kings
1 Minas Tirith Seventh Circle
1 Pelennor Plain
1 Rohirrim Camp
1 Rohirrim Road
1 Ruined Capitol

THis is my cirdan/threat southron deck.

First of all 18 events, I do wanna have at least a few in discard. Among them:
double shots: extra wounds are always good.
Alliance Reforged: card drawal makes a big deck better manageable.
Forearmed: can save the day even more with nenya and sauron.
Company: condition removal is nice.
Supporting: everybody needs some general pumps, and +3 unconditionally is always good.

The rest is support for the elves, 9 comps, radagast for a needed triple move...

THe shadow is basic big southrons.
