Boromir's Ithilien Blade / Raider Wounding
« on: December 10, 2009, 04:53:02 PM »
Thought it would be better if I posted the deck for suggestions:

34/34

Frodo, Courteous Halfling with The One Ring, The Great Ring

Faramir, Prince of Ithilien (starting)
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver (starting)
Aragorn, Thorongil
Boromir, Proud and Noble Man (Prancing Pony pull)
Madril, Defender of Osgiliath

Faramir's Company x3

Blade of Gondor
Horn of Boromir, The Great Horn
Faramir's Sword x2
Sting, Elven Long Knife
Faramir's Bow
Aragorn's Bow, Ranger's Longbow
Ithilien Blade x3
Ranger's Cloak x2

Heirs of Gondor x3
Citadel of Minas Tirith x3
Shadowplay x2

Guarded City x3
Unheeded x3

O_o I'm pretty much surprised I was actually able to squeeze so much stuff in there, but I think the strategy is quite obvious: to wound and wound minions during almost every phase before before skirmish, and then at skirmish, give the final blow with your fighters (mainly Boromir) and Pippin, who comes fully healed the next turn after giving some wounds. The main problem with the deck is also rather obvious. It's too combo-based, which can clog my hand at times.

This is it for the FP side, and this is the best I could do to make a good deck, but I know it can get a lot better, that's why I posted it, so comments are welcome.

Now to the Shadow:

Desert Lord x3
Desert Scout x4
Desert Sneak x4
Desert Runner x4
Corsair Buccaneer x3
Suzerain of Harad x2

Corsair War Galley x4
Ships of Great Draught x3
Rallying Call x2
Seasoned Leader x2

Red Wrath x3

More simple and direct to the point. Add threats to get the deck moving, get initiative to wound companions and add twilight to play more minions and them recover them with Ships of Great Draught. I don't know many other [Raider] cards in the game so I don't have a clue on what to do to improve this deck.

Again, comments are welcome.

Btw, this deck is real cards, so please consider a common man's budget if your gonna suggest something.

It does cause I actually have them.

And yeah, I know I should have Captain of Ithilien, but it's way too much money. Frodo's in there because of Sting. The deck needs to remove some threats.
