Please let me know what you think it, I am always looking for ways to improve.

I only mention which cards are foil, promo etc.. just in case someone wants to make me an offer on this deck..

As for Freeps, I'd use the Binding Ring instead of The Ring of Rings to grab Ring of Fury and some other Rings, which is the reason why you should raise the number of Watch and Wait in your Deck. Also nice is Heavy Axe, if you add some more Run until found. As for that, I'd drop Still Twitching and Stern Words. Oh, and starting Faramir, BoQ, Dain and Gimli, Eager Hunter is also a nice way.

As for Shadow, definitely 3 or 4 Precision Targeting, and I don't like Corsair Vandal so much in this Deck, Bill Ferny, AoS and  more Gats are better. And if you don't run Ferny, Corsair Halberd seems also pretty useless to me.

[MuadDib85]

Corsair Vandal is key. Besides being an archery deck he is there for replayed Wold Battlefield (the main reason Gandalf is in with Traveled Leader). Maybe I should change the title to Men Archery / Wold Battlefield repeat..

Yeah it would be nice to have a Faramir, BoQ... but not for this deck.

I have no copies of Ferny and only one GATS.

A third Gothmog and a copy of rapid reload are on the way in a trade and will fit straight in.

Missing the point of the Gandalf package. Is it just a tech against corruption?

[MuadDib85]

For Traveled Leader to replay Wold Battlefield for Corsair Vandal. Maybe I should add a fourth Traveled Leader and a fourth Leader of The Company..

[SomeRandomDude]

Aha, tricky. Seems rather intricate, are you able to reliably pull it off?

[MuadDib85]

Yeah it works, one problem is drawing the Gandalf support cards before Gandalf, maybe a fourth Leader of The Company is in order.

Definitely. I use that combo in another context (even though with evil mean Archery, even thought to play PLains for Goaded to war and I have 4 copies of LotC and 4 copies of Travelled Leader, so I just use the copy I draw before LotC for cycling. If you draw it afterwards - nice. If you draw it without having a LotC in play - no big deal.

[MuadDib85]

I prefer more archery than goaded to war, I used to mess around with twilight adding conditions but those card slots can be used much better I've found from experience.

[Cw0rk]

What about the Saruman follower with that card that you play on followers to exert everyone.

[MuadDib85]

Whisper In The Dark. Yes that would fit in well, I have four copies but no Saruman, SoS.
