Elven Strength Subtraction w/ Anti-Archery Uruk-Hai
« on: October 09, 2008, 12:43:47 PM »
 Love this deck.

 Starting:
 Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom w/ The One Ring Answer to All Ridles
 Legolas, Greenleaf
 Gamling, Defender of The Hornburg

 Fellowship:
 4x Lorien Swordsman
 4x Sword of The Fallen
 4x Elven Bow
 4x Horse of Rohan
 The Tale of Gil-Galad
 4x Inside a Song
 2x Flashing Steel
 4x Feathered
 2x Agility
 2x Blades Drawn

 Shadow:
 16 Uruk-hai
 Uruk-hai Sword
 2x Broad-Bladed Sword
 3x Ferocity

 Statagey for fellowship is simple. Lorien Swordsman + Sword of The Fallen + Elven Bow + Horse of Rohan. Shadow is to destroy any Elven Archery deck you might face. Comments ???

With all those archers, seriously consider Aegnor for more strength reduction and A Grey Ship to turn archery into mass healing when necessary. (Ring of Adamant might make for a better healing method, though. Also, Legolas' Sword wouldn't be bad if you can find room.)

Reckless We Rode wouldn't be a bad idea for some directed archery, turning Feathered into a real killer against big minions like The Balrog or Sauron.

Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men is almost a must as well...definately drop one of the Swordsmen for her instead.

Since you're using Galadriel BoW, Agility, and Inside A Song anyway, may as well get the most out of those [Elven] tokens by tossing in Galadriel's Silver Ewer. The stat boosters for Galadriel are obviously nice, but most people miss the awesome token reinforcement it offers, especially in a deck like yours that will be tossing out lots of [Elven] skirmish events. Couldn't hurt to throw in a copy of Strength of Arms while you're at it.

Just some ideas. Pick and choose any you might like to incorporate. I would STRONGLY recommend at least adding Arwen QoEaM, though. She'd be awesome here.
Best regards,
Dáin

3 days ago or so, I was playing an archery deck against a Final Triuph deck, man that was hard. Allthough he couldn't use Final Triuph, he was exerting me to the bone. I wish that I had Take up the Bow. Well, actually I did, but I couldn't use it, for I had only 2 archers at the time. It is a very useful card vs minions that you can't handlle at the moment. Invincible Uruk fully loaded, Shelob that loves your archery, etc.

  hear the wise dwarf...

  Legolas sword and Nenya are good options too. And maybe add some Company of Archers to get rid of some nasty condition.

   If you are fighting Uruks be aware to not drop 6 comps and get Invincible Uruk and his friends at table... that would be not very nice to your guys  [-X

i <3 Lorien Swordsman. Built my first deck around 'em, actually.

Rumil, Silvan Elf and Arwen, QoEaM are good additions. :up: Galadriel's Silver Ewer is a duh card, but Lurtzy doesn't realize that it costs you an arm, a leg, and your firstborn, the latter of which, you are unfortunately missing.

 Thanks for the ideas, but let me say this.

 1. I will throw in Arwen, QoEaM.
 2. NBardsen is right. I built this deck in REAL LIFE so it would be EXTREMELY hard to get Galdriel's Silver Ewer.

 But thanks for the ideas.  =D> :)

BTW, make one of those Horse of Rohan at least a Brego.

No reason not to...

And toss out the Tale of Gil-Galad. I've never been a fan of those cards ('cept Saga of Elendil + Anarion...bwahaha).

Possibly a couple Take Up the Bow instead. I may be able to get ya one next time we trade. Can't remember if I traded mine off...
