'''Thandronen, Veteran Protector''' is pretty close to useless. In theory, he can counter cards like {{Card|Goblin Swarms}}, {{Card|Gnawing, Biting, Hacking, Burning}}, or {{Card|Their Marching Companies}}. In practice, there are relatively few commonly-played cards that stack minions on other cards, and {{C|Elven}} decks have stronger and more-versatile tools to do something about the card the minions are stacked on. Why play Thandronen when you can play {{Card|Haldir, Emissary of the Galadhrim}}, {{Card|That is no Orc Horn}}, {{Card|Company of Archers}}, or {{Card|Secret Sentinels}} and discard all of the cards in a single stack at once? His [[exertion]] cost, low [[strength]] for his cost, and [[spot]]ting requirement just add insult to injury.

* He's only useful against cards that stack minions on themselves or on sites, like {{Card|Goblin Swarms}}, {{Card|Gnawing, Biting, Hacking, Burning}}, or {{Card|Their Marching Companies}}. And even then, there are better options.

= Trivia =
= See Also =
* Thandronen's character does not have a name in ''The Two Towers'' film. He's played by New Zealand actor Ben Fransham in an uncredited role. His name is apparently a [[Decipher]] creation, and isn't based on any other character's name.
* ''Add links to the wayback machine (or wiki archival links) for official Decipher articles regarding the card''
* The two sons referred to in his lore text are {{Card|Fereveldir, Son of Thandronen}} and {{Card|Ferevellon, Son of Thandronen}}. They are also uncredited background roles in the film proper, and their relationship is also a Decipher invention.
* ''Link to decks that use this card''
