Strategy
Thandronen, Veteran Protector is pretty close to useless. In theory, he can counter cards like Goblin Swarm
, Gnawing Hacking Burning Biting
, or Their Marching Companies (8U107)
. In practice, there are relatively few commonly-played cards that stack minions on other cards, and 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 Haldir, Emissary of the Galadhrim (4C71)
, That Is No Orc Horn (5C14)
, Company of Archers (4R61)
, or Secret Sentinels (2R20)
? His exertion cost, low strength for his cost, and spotting requirement just add insult to injury.
Strengths and Weaknesses

- He's only useful against cards that stack minions on themselves or on sites, like Goblin Swarm
, Gnawing Hacking Burning Biting
, or Their Marching Companies (8U107)
. And even then, there are better options.
Weak Versus...
- Scaffolding (6U73)
and Library of Orthanc (9R+39)
- It's gonna be hard to get much use out of a five strength elf that has questionably useful gametext.
