Editing Legolas, Greenleaf (1R50)

Powerful companion with an exert-to-wound ability. Direct wounding is an envied ability to target the strongest minions (Such as Orthanc Champion), to wound minions with powerful exert-to-play abilities (Such as Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur), or to kill low-vitality minions to prevent a swarm of minions (like [Moria] or [Dunland]). With The Tale of Gil-Galad, it's possible to kill minions with 3 vitality, potentially making a double move viable.  

Decks that feature Legolas, Greenleaf often prioritize healing (such as Elrond, Herald to Gil-Galad, Might of Numenor or Shoulder to Shoulder) as Legolas could create a lot of exertions with his ability. Legolas, Greenleaf is also often seen in conjunction with other directed wounding (such as Aragorn's Bow, Rumil, Elven Protector, or Orophin, Lorien Bowman) as well as in mass archery decks, but he can also be used effectively with Maneuver wounding (such as Defend it and Hope, Quick as May Be, or Terrible and Evil) or skirmish phase wounding (such as Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien or Power According to His Stature).  

The direct wounding capability of Legolas, Greenleaf creates a natural synergy with Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark and similar Rohan strategies relating to wounds (such as We Left None Alive or Elite Rider). Natural synergy also exists with Gandalf and Strength of Spirit. The addition of Aiglos in the Reflections expansion creates another vitality point for Legolas.
