			= Weaknesses =
			Forestguls does have some inherent weaknesses. For instance, any sort of condition removal is a threat, as well as {{Card\|Gandalf, Wise Guide}} canceling your {{Card\|Dark Approach}}, but these have workarounds. The more hardcore threats are these:

			* Smeagol or Gandalf Site Manipulation
			Smeagol is adept at shifting the adventure path to fit his needs, and so is Gandalf. Any shadow that needs certain sites struggles to deal with this. The only real solution is to do the same with your fellowship side.

			* Madril
			{{Card\|Madril, Defender of Osgiliath}} and {{Card\|Ithilien Blade}} will tear you apart. {{Card\|What are they?}} will just make things worse. The only real way to fight a well-set-up Madril deck is a) splashing {{Card\|Ships of Great Draught}} and crossing your fingers they don't pack condition removal. {{Card\|Ulaire Enquea, Sixth of the Nine Riders}} can stave off their Ithilien Blades, but is easily countered by cards like {{Card\|Ranger's Cloak}} and {{Card\|Houses of Healing}}.

			Other than this, other threats are mainly annoyances that can be countered in some form or fashion. As long as you [[tech]] properly, you should have a solid deck.

			The other benefit of adding threats is that you can outright stop Free Peoples strategies that add threats. With enough threats added, threat adding cards become useless. In addition, even large fellowships look with fear at a hefty stack of threats waiting for a companion to be killed. With exerting cards like {{Card\|Ulaire Enquea, Sixth of the Nine Riders}}, you can easily exhaust their fellowship, then kill a companion with {{Card\|Lost in the Woods}}.
