mighty morphin' Gondor Rangers

[jdizzy001]

I attempted to build a gondy ranger deck a while ago.  it can be seen here http://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,4302.0.html
Ket helped me build it, and it worked pretty well.  sadly, i couldn't dish out enough wounds to kill the minions and shortly there after, my freeps died.  After some shifting I came up with this...

FREEPS
Isildur's bane (i know there are better rings, but I'm trying to earn promos on the gccg so i can't proxy.)
Frodo, tiered traveller
pippin, WoBaS (start)
Sting, bane of the eight legs
ancient roads x3
athelas x2
banner of westernesse x3
gondorian ranger x2
ranger of ithilien x2
ranger's bow x4
sword of gondor x4
war and valor x4
faramir's cloak (freaking awesome!)
faramir, son of denethor (start)
Mablung, soldier of gondor x2

SHADOW (the idea came from feanor11, a good friend of mine)
advance marauder x4
advance regular x4
advance scout x4
beseiging pike x4
morgul hunter
shadow's reach x2 (is there a better condition discard card?)
advance captain x4
flames within x4
morgul warden x3 (once i buy more morgul hunters i'm going to phase this guy out.  He isn't terrible, but hunter is better.)

bid 1 or 2 if you want to go first, it isn't crucial but you can if you want.  The freeps is more of a skirmishing one.  the bows and mablung just finish off stragglers.  Choose a standard site array for your adventure deck, your real limited in king block decks but you know which ones to choose.  There has been a worry that shorgun enquea will cause problems, but it has been my experience with 2 str 10 comps, a str 9 and 4 wounders, it doesn't matter much.  If your really worried about it just don't play 6 comps.
I love the shadow of this deck.  Who said roaming was bad?  each roaming minion is fierce, dmg+1, and can receive str +3 bonuses from the marauder.  It isn't super awesome, but boy is it fun.  Then if the freeps gives you initiative, watch out!

shadow's reach x2 (is there a better condition discard  card?)

Yes. Grond. Rank and File could be interesting for your shadow. You could try to find a spot for Ulaire Enquea.

In your fellowship, I think that there is a lack of healing. Might of Numenor or 'Light Shinely something' would be nice.

Grond is better than shadow's reach, it's also one of like 5 cards that can discard freeps artifacts, If you get Ithilien Trap out fast enough, it can be your enquea protection

EDIT: Cwork beat me to it, and Light Shining Faintly is the card he's thinking of

RANK AND FILE WOUDL BE AWESOME! light shining faintly is a great idea.  As for ithilein trap, it was originally in my deck, but i never pulled it in time, which is sad because it is an awesome card.
