Rohan archery deck (Free Peoples only)

[SomeRandomDude]

I don't think so...

Galadriel's small, weak, small vitality and low resistance. It screams FERNY! or BURDENS! at the opponent. Sure you ca crunch beatdown decks or swarms, but a good number of decks run corruption too.

If you want the RB to do stuff, I'd go with PATHS. You can even get a Daddy Twofoot Racket going there, possibly some Golden Perch Ale to keep stuff in check or some other burden removal.\

The question with starting companions is "Can they survive?" Starting companions should be big enough to take on minions from the start. Merry + Aldred are weak, throw out an extra twilight and say "crunch me." Merry, Swordthain is a utility companion, not a fighting companion and Aldred really isn't worth anything except in a Horn deck. I would start Eowyn, run tons of plains sites, run Riddermark Tacticians (to ensure that you either keep your plains or they take arrows), and then run Border Patrol (this card is seriously good). With Eowyn started, you can slap a Rohirrim Mount on her via Gamling and start dropping minions two for one!

The problem here is that you're not dedicated enough archery. Either go full-blown archery or go fighting. i mean, you can have some fighting to cover your bases, but I personally run Gimli RB in my deck with Gimli's Battle Axe that throw arrows when you have threats, Aragorn, Driven by Need w/ Aragorn's Bow, Faramir, Son of Denethor with Faramir's Bow, Rohan Archery stuff and HIDAN to cover my bases.

So. Cards that are nonessential to the deck...


Work for the Sword
Hamstrung (x3)
King's Board
Morning Came
Blood has Been Spilled

There's 7 cards out. In: Shire package? (Daddy Twofoot, PATHS, Golden Perch Ale). Or more Rohan stuff (Border Patrol, Riddermark Tactician, Sword Racks...I especially recommend this one). Gondor package? (Help in Doubt and Need, Aragorn, Driven by Need, Aragorn's Bow, Ranger's Longbow, Faramir, etc). Way too expensive though, probably. That would cost you like...$60 to do that well.

Ok, but it's the thought that counts right? I might get x4 of that other javelin just so I don't have to use Gamling's text all the time.
As for the pumps... right now (until I can get some better cards), their kinda necessary. 

[Elendil!Urukfear]

I am just now starting to comprehend what ur saying Nb.
I now have realized the power of tacticians text.

So I think I'll Throw in x4 Rohirrim Javelin, x2 Riddermark Tactitian, x2 Border patrol, I'll put another Freely across our land's just so that I can pull it a ton easier. That way I won't have to start merry and aldred, and I can put eowyn and gamling to start.

As for the extra cards. Throwing all that in might give me enough lee-way to take all the unecessaries out. 
Thanks NB.

Ok, I threw in another border patrol.
Mainly because when I was playing Berry, I totally killed him with that, if he threw down four minions i would kill all but one and that one would be exhausted so I would simply kill him w/ Eowyn.

great suggestions but that kindof defeats the point of a "Rohan" archery deck.
Still, i could make that deck as well...
