Does anyone remember..

I hate to bring this back, but shame on me for forgetting Boromir, Son of Denethor!

[Smeagollum]

No worries.. Shame on me that I'm not very good in counting;)

[Gil-Estel]

And how about Faramir Wizard's Pupil? To gether with Boromir he can be another strength adder to our friendly friend Smeagol

Well... I made reference to a contest Decipher made when bohd was released, so only the first 5 sets count and Fwp was not released then yet. But sure in Movieblock you can bring it up to a higher level. So Next question wha'ts the  highest Smeagol can become in movie? and yeah, I'm lazy;)

[legolas3333]

hmm i'm not going to calculate BUT here's what would .should be used

Hand
Voice Of The Nimrodel x4
 Extraordinary Resilience x4

Companions
Smeagol, Slinker
Boromir, Son Of Denethor
Faramir, Wizards Pupil
Merry, Friend To Sam
2, 3 vitality elven companions (arwen/legolas, legolas/haldir, haldir/arwen, the list is endless)

Possessions
Frodo's Cloak
Hobbit Sword
Sting, Baggins Heirloom
Phail Of Galadriel

Conditions
There And Back Again
The Saga Of Elendil
Poor Wretch x4
Escape
A Light In His Mind

Exert and add as much strength as possible to merry, then transfer the strength to smeagol, play voice of th nimrodel, heal and remove burdens and so on and so forth, a light in his mind is a free heal. wizards pupil boosts it even more... with 2 elven companions you wouldn't have to heal them.

[Smeagollum]

I think you forget 11 cards

4 Everyone Knows
Ent Draught
1 ent (Any ent from mb)
Horn of the Mark
4 Horn of the Mark

[ket_the_jet]

Everyone Knows doesn't factor into the strength bonus for Merry, Friend to Sam. Well, you would only get the bonus for the vitality he has left after exerting.

-wtk

That's why Ent Draught is in: He get's 6 vitality.. so after exerting him twice you still have 4 vitality
Think you forgot that..?

Also Voice of Nimrodel also works on Elven Ally's So I would suggest ally's instead of comps. And Elrond + Vilya for sure to get 4 extra cards in your hand.

Then also 4x NFFATROD

4 Horn of the Mark

What is this supposed to mean?

It is worth noting with initiative abuse that So Fair, So Desperate would be devastating!

Wrong copy paste.. should be 4x Songs of the Blessed Realm.

And yeah Narsil.. Forgot that one. On Boromir ofcourse!

But sure that card you mentioned would add about 8 strength if you would play it this way. Not sure what would give more power. Other way is not to play it with the elven cards (except for Elrond + Vilya to get 4 extra cards), but do it via Nffatrod + the card you mentioned, but then you need to loose innitiative and with 12 cards that will happen, but I'm not sure if it would be enough.. you can only do it 2 times.. I think.

I would use: Elrond, Lord of Rivendell

Uhm... You can only have 12 cards in hand max... A little to much events I'm afraid. I think I would go for the elven variant and not the innitiative. Don't need the rohan allies in that case. Also I don't think the pipeweeds are needed.

[ket_the_jet]

Elrond, Lord of Rivendell is X-ed in Movie Block.
-wtk

[Smeagollum]

I know... then we need another way to get 4 extra cards and they can't be events....

Hand:
Stout and Sturdy x4
Extraordinary Resilience x4
Voice of Nimrodel x4
Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom x4

If we can only get till 8/9 cards then we can do less events but Voice of Nimrodel x4 &
Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom x4 for sure..

I think 4 events should go out and that a very fast Shadow is needed  

Actually we forgeting 2 cards...

[Smeagollum]

Goldberry, River-daughter
Tom Bombadil, The Master

And the I thought of...... Master Proudfoot, Distant Relative of Bilbo

I think we should go back to 13 events:

Extraordinary Resilience x4
Voice of Nimrodel x4
Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom x4
Stout and Sturdy

plus Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver to loose innitiative twice!

Then it would be 54...

Anybody any thoughts which shadow would make this workable
