Thranduil has taken his new fame and decided to leverage it in his new mission.
He and his kin will use their woodland skill to drive back the evil creatures of Mirkwood
and rally the Free Peoples.

He will play 8 factions and token once Towers Destroyed. He will take Well Aimed
and be master of wood, water and hill. The elves have low prowess, thus many
means to cancel attacks are needed including animal factions, avatar's ability, and
discarding a * creature.

Healing Song, Elven Bridge, and Here is a Snake will allow the elves to find safe passage away
from the Home of the 1,000 Caves.

Thranduil will focus on playing factions, playing Towers Destroyed, and targeting minions. He will be a fun
player with fluid company composition.

I decided to leverage the ability to fetch Refuge and use the faction Elves of Taur Romen
to target regions with Refuge with Galadhrim.
Aramacar has left Elrond's deck to join this deck.
Lesser Minds Daunted also added.

The deck is updated as seen in the first thread.


Changes to this deck reflect a greater attempt for a flavorful resource strategy. Thranduil has just
a few regions to use. I made the deck more at home for the elf-king.
Waybread was removed in favor of better means to heal. Elven Rope was added to use Elven
Bridge. The sideboard has three fewer resources. Many Foes He Fought was removed only
because it is used 9x in three other decks. The removal makes it unlikely for Towers Destroyed
to be fully played, which happened during the practice game on Turn 24.
Well Aimed x3 replaces the event. However, there are only four elves in the deck to fully use that event.
Question: Can the King's Hunting fetch Arrows Shorn of Ebony? Events says warrior only resource.

+
Lesser Minds Daunted x2 replaced with Elven Bridge x3. There are few Diplomats in this deck.
Besides, did the elves play nice with Thorin & Company? Hey Come Merry Dol was replaced by
Healing Song. HCMD is used by Guild of Elements. Healing Song now sees play. Using Healing
Song and more of Refuge can limit movement to multiple Wilderness or at least avoiding
Woodland Realm watched by dragons. Face Out of Sight was moved to Valdacli deck replaced
by Here is a Snake. HiaS was taken from Lady Galadriel’s deck after it was updated. She now
gets Hidden Knife to wound agents. Face Out of Sight hurts Radagast’s grey agents. Here is a
Snake will help in a limited way this player to plan the next turn’s movement. Now MWWH can
be more useful. The King’s Hunting was added to give MP to Clean the Greenwood and to fetch
Block.
+
Hazards had some changes. Both Spawn events were removed – given to Smaug. Wisp of Pale
Sheen added to tap a 5 mind Orc not-named Mauhur. Wrath of the West removed for Pit Trap
and Devouring Wyrms. Another copy of Elven Custody added. Gloom removed for Nature’s
Revenge. He needs to protect Mirkwood from fallen-Lords.
+
Gloom, Das Pack Vor Der Tür, and Wake of War replaced by Taint of Deep Lore and five
character hazards to weaken the leaders so the spiders to munch on the maggots.
