Gandalf/Elven/Moria Deck

[sharkey]

I want to post my bro's deck, because it needs some help. I have some ideas, but I was hoping for some more angles. It's a Gandalf/Elven deck, choke/heal/tank, with a side of archery. Bad side is a moria beat-down, sorta. Settle in, it's a long read. I have slashed the parts I think should get cut.

60 on each side, down to 41.

Sites:
Shire Lookout Point
Midgewater Moors
Council Courtyard
Moria Stairway
Bridge of Khazad-Dum

Okay, I'll post the second deck as soon as I can write it. He goes second with 0 and keeps a high resistance so his cards are more powerful. His Strength of Spirit, Intimidate, and Salve all help prevent death.

Any advice, anyone? I know it's a huge deck, but I have faith in you!

[sharkey]

Okay, great. It's hard to work with this deck even with the physical cards in front of you, let's see how good you are at this...

[sharkey]

That's my opinion as well. I have no clue, but my bestest guess is Moria Beat-Down and Gandalf/Elven Tank/Healing.

... refuge maybe? with some of the companion discarding cards from black rider and Rise of saruman?

[sharkey]

Thank you! I'll work on some stuff, and show this to him. It's a great deck, it's just become disheveled as of late. I know with some trimming and working on it can work well. This is RL deck, so I don't have some of those cards, but I think I have some that can stand in just as well. I'll play around, and see what I can do!

[sharkey]

Okay! There's always a chance he won't let me touch his deck, but if that happens I have this decklist, so I can change it ninja style back and forth till I have something that I think works great. Do you think a watcher in the water and tentacles might work with this?

Ket, what about some Servant of the Secret Fire in the FP side? I think it would be nice... And since you're choking with Glamdring, what about HttWC to pull wth Pony?
