Aegnor is well-suited to {{C|Elven}} [[Telepathy|telepathy]] decks that reduce minions' strength to win skirmishes, although he only works in a deck with archery as a secondary strategy. He isn't as strong as {{Card|Cirdan, the Shipwright}} (especially in conjunction with {{Card|Galadriel, Lady Redeemed}}), but he is more versatile, and there's no reason you can't use both strategies together! In [[Movie Block]], he works well as the centerpiece of your deck, supported by many archers to power his ability and fend off swarms of low-vitality minions. He also works in [[Expanded (Format)|Expanded]], either on his own or supplementing a strategy where {{Card|Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor}} reuses {{Card|Forearmed}} and various {{C|Elven}} token conditions. | Aegnor is well-suited to {{C|Elven}} [[Telepathy|telepathy]] decks that reduce minions' strength to win skirmishes, although he only works in a deck with archery as a secondary strategy.

An Aegnor deck needs two things: {{C|Elven}} archers, and a source of healing.Β One companion who can do both is {{Card|Legolas, Archer of Mirkwood}}. Aegnor can exert to make sure Legolas wins his skirmish, then Legolas heals the exertion from Aegnor. Legolas isn't usually much of a skirmisher, but has some other decent effects that trigger when he wins a skirmish, like {{Card|Bow of the Galadhrim}}. {{Card|Elrond, Venerable Lord}} can also heal Aegnor at the start of a skirmish to fuel an Aegnor exertion that protects him in that skirmish, but | An Aegnor deck needs two things: {{C|Elven}} archers, and a source of healing.Β One companion who can do both is {{Card|Legolas, Archer of Mirkwood}}.

Aside from Legolas, there are surprisingly few {{C|Elven}} archers, especially in [[Movie Block]]! Your best bet is to pack four copies of {{Card|Elven Bow}}, as well as {{C|Elven}} archer allies like {{Card|Rumil, Elven Protector}}, {{Card|Orophin, Lorien Bowman}}, {{Card|Dinendal, Silent Scout}}, and {{Card|Calaglin, Elf of Lorien}}. The allies don't contribute to the archery total, but Aegnor can still spot them. {{Card|Rumil, Silvan Elf}} and {{Card|Dinendal, Mirkwood Archer}} are also options in [[Expanded (Format)|Expanded]]. | Aside from Legolas, there are surprisingly few {{C|Elven}} archers, especially in [[Movie Block]]!
