ok, so after playing some games with the
shoulder to shoulder wounding deck and i realized that, while fun, it just isn't ever going to command the playing field. however, it let me explore some things and come up with THIS deck. on the freeps side it employs
greenleaf for wounds off the bat, and arwen to make use of those wounds. a handful of elven events to take care of burdens, conditions, and give a boost to the elves during skirmishes, and in turn made use of by
cirdan. each skirmish won translates into tokens and from their aragorn takes over using them to overwhelm minions, and with his ring heal some comps. an assortment of bows and swords keep the wounds flying and the skirmishes won. for cycling their are a lot of tricks.
shadow between turns unneeded cards into healing. galadriel's ring lets you cycle through even when you are doubling. and the elven swords let you shell out cards for during the skirmish. there is no special cycling on the shadow side, so take advantage of all these tricks whenever you can.
on the shadow side, its all about wounding the ring-bearer, and adding burdens. the deck comes in at 15 events 19 minions. but at least there are no conditions to be discarded by pesky freeps. there is a 5 card gollum package in here that consists of 1x
gollum, dad and 4x
captured by the ring. so 4 of those events are purely for playing and replaying gollum. a pair of morgul brutes to make your opponent stop and think. a pair of
enquea, lom for crowd control, and a whole heap of twilight minions to use those events.
bid zero and go second. there is no reason to bog down galadriel before you've seen what you are up against. its probably best to make their freeps walk, and use the sites to your advantage. but if you are feeling lucky, im sure you shouldn't have any problems running with this deck. make sure you are dropping the events in the discard, winning the skirmishes with the elves and you should be fine.
if everything is running smoothly, wounds should be easy to dish out, and once they get past that, they should face a formidable fellowship, and both gorn and
cirdan should be able to take on the tanks. against swarmish decks those tokens can really add up.
anyways, thoughts, as always appreciated.
