Eowyn and Beravor are a classic synergy. When they become Elf Friends they get to benefit from Sylvan Tracker healing. Put Ranger of Cardolan into play for 1 resource when you engage, defend with them, then when he refreshes at the end of round, sneak in Distant Stars. Protector of Lorien goes on Haldir, boost his willpower with discards, and combo with Fair and Perilous, and maybe even Tale of Tinuviel, and he's hitting for up to 12 into the staging area (I haven't quite pulled this off).

I love Haldir of Lórien he's such a great hero! his only problem is that he needs weapons to work well, and since he's a lore hero, it's tough (unless in multiplayer)

a couple suggestions: I would cut Quick Ears--its just not really a great card in general, and it would require you to exhaust Beravor. I like the combo of Ranger of Cardolan and Distant Stars (quite a lot actually!) so I would say 2 or 3 copies. you could even pull off the same thing with Gandalf and Word of Command.

since you're going to have to pay for Gandalf b/c no Sneak Attack, I would honestly just go with the other Gandalf version. with Elrond's Counsel for threat reduction I think he's just much better. he can stick around and quest +attack/defend, and I think that combat support would be really helpful here.

Fair and Perilous is good for Haldir of Lórien (especially if no weapons) probably 3x. Also, I don't think Tale of Tinúviel works b/c he's neither dunedain nor noldor (unless you put another elf friend on him ;)

Hey thanks for your comments. I don't have all the cards you suggest, but I agree with the gist. I know Quick Ears isn't great, but I've had good luck with it. It can be a game saver when you count the cards and the odds are good. But would that slot be better with something else? Yeah probably.
