I always loved the relation ship the Woodland Elves and the Men of Dale/Lake Town, so I built a deck around it.

The idea is that the Cloak of Lorien and Mithril Shirt go on Thranduil to boost his defense. Brand gets the King of Dale, Necklace of Girion, Orcrist, and Unexpected Courage for pumping out Dale allies.

Bard gets any number of weapons to pump up his damage or Celebrian's Stone for Willpower boost.

I ran an extra card since I'm not sure what to trim at this point.
