Strategy[edit]

A staple condition in many archery-based decks, The Splendor of Their Banners found more play after Fellowship block when Legolas, Greenleaf became less prevalent. Legolas, Dauntless Hunter and Legolas, Fearless Marksman all bear the card well (and have access to plenty of Aragorn-signet healing cards like Aragorn, King in Exile and Hard Choice). With the addition of alternate Ring-Bearers in Reflections, Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom became a common bearer of the condition.

As an [Elven] tale, this condition is searchable with The Council of Elrond, can remove a burden with Songs of the Blessed Realm, can draw a card with Red Book of Westmarch, or can be discarded with Bilbo, Well-Spoken Gentle Hobbit to discard a support area Shadow condition.

Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]

Strong Versus...[edit]

  • Powerful with high-vitality archers
  • Commonly used in Legolas, Dauntless Hunter archery builds, with Aragorn, Wingfoot and Gondor Bowmen support
  • Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom with Elven Bow, the One Ring, Answer to All Riddles, The Tale of Gil-Galad and Nenya
