Strategy[edit]

Company of Archers is a long-time staple of Towers Standard, King Standard, and Movie Block Elven decks to remove annoying Shadow conditions. Almost every Shadow side has some sort of nasty condition you'd rather not deal with. All you need is enough elf companions to meet the spot requirements. It's easy to just have two elves in your starting Fellowship, especially in Movie Block where Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom (9R+14) is available.

Bear in mind that this card can't protect you from Shadow conditions that do all their work in the Shadow Phase or Maneuver Phase on the turn where they're played, like Greed (1R125) , Constantly Threatening (4R6) , Small Hope (7R159) , Under Foot (10C52) , or Evil-smelling Fens (5U22) .

The only real deckbuilding consideration with this card whether you'd rather use this or one of the other Elven condition removal cards. Secret Sentinels (2R20) is stronger and its cost is negligible, since the most popular elf allies heal themselves. Secret Sentinels is generally a better choice if you're using elf allies, even if you have enough elf companions to spot. Vilya (3R27) is reusable but does not permanently remove conditions. Galadriel, Lady Redeemed (10R11) can turn any Elven event into condition removal, so Company of Archers only useful in that deck if you think Galadriel is likely to get killed. After Movie Block, Secret Sentinels is rarely played. While it's better than Seclusion (12U23) unless you only have one elf companion to spot, it's worse than Lothlórien Guides (17U9) and Namárië (17U10) .
