= Strategy =
Part of the [[cycle]] of [[silver bullet]] events in [[Realms of the Elf-Lords]], '''Can You Protect Me From Yourself?''' is a specific [[Aragorn]], and even more specifically {{Card|Aragorn's Bow}} counter.


As Aragorn is the most popular companion in [[Fellowship Block]] (with the possible exception of Gandalf), at first sight this event makes sense. A chance to exhaust Aragorn, making him vulnerable to death even with pesky {{Card|Armor}} on him, is always good. Plus it is a free event you can play or cycle out even with Aragorn off the table. In addition, the burdens could go towards {{Card|Orthanc Berserker}} exhausting him later instead.


However, this is a view of the card without FOTR's [[meta]] taken into consideration. With {{Card|Narya}}, {{Card|Sam, Son of Hamfast}}, and {{Card|Elf-Song}} running rampant, there is really no chance of those burdens getting used for anything, making the secondary effect practically useless. On top of that, the primary effect is offset by the fact that {{Card|Elrond, Herald to Gil-Galad}} is popular, and is capable of healing Aragorn in regroup. Plus Aragorn often sports as many as 13 base strength, making him hard to beat.

After FOTR Block, Can You Protect Me From Yourself becomes even more useless. Aragorn becomes less popular as alternatives such as {{Card|Eomer, Third Marshal Of Riddermark}} and {{Card|Elendil, The Tall}} became options for powerful tanks in [[Towers]] and [[Movie]] formats. In addition, {{C|Isengard}} also decreased in popularity in [[Movie Block]] and [[War of the Ring Block]]. In short, this event is most likely a worthless addition to your deck, better replaced by {{Card|Bred for Battle}}, {{Card|Savagery to Match Their Numbers}}, or {{Card|Palantir of Orthanc}}.
