Encirclement
The point of the ents is to set up fast with Momentous Gathering, grab some ents, nab a follower and suddenly you have a potential 20+ strength Treebeard EASILY, not to mention Str 18 Shepherds. Run with Radagast. This deck theoretically cycles pretty well, via Momentous Gathering being the equivalent of 3 cards vs 1.
On the minion side, add tons of threats with your minions, add tons of burdens with Gorgoroth Attacker, take control of sites with Troop Tower and Siege Troop, stack like crazy, Sauron is dirt cheap. Play him as much as possible with Their Marching Companies.
Gothmog is a pain, Troll of Gorgoroth is free, and he stacks himself, Gorgoroth Attacker and Gothmog to be played with Their Marching Companies over and over, along with a dirt cheap Sauron. This deck can grind to death with Gothmog and threats, beatdown with Siege Troop, Sauron, and Troll of Gorgoroth, and corrupt with Gorgoroth Attacker (3 sites + 2 attackers + Troll of Gorgoroth? Corrupted in two sites.) |

I would drop a Shepherd of the Trees and add Radagast’s Herb Bag. Otherwise, it looks good.  |

The staff would be better than herb bag. Strength, vitality, and card draws, what’s not to love?
Looks solid to me. Classic ent and besieger strategies. Sauron is a cool idea for this deck, and I’ve always loved using threats to swarm with besiegers. |

Id drop a sauron cos that guy could really clog your hand, and add a second encirclement. I played a similar deck to this and its crazy to not get that out. Its like the most powerful card you have.
Just my 2 cents. |

| As soon as sauron kills some1 the threats kick in and his cost goes sky high. I think 4x is too much with all those other besiegers. But if you had to drop something drop a minion that you can stack easily or a marching companies as the chances are youll have one out before you get chance to play sauron, with just 3 copies of it, anyway. |

Another encirclement would be awesome! 4 Saurons is a bit unnecessary, especially if you’re going to play him from sites, but if you’re dead against dropping him, get rid of a Mordor Defender or Regular as they’re pretty aweful compared to compared to the Agitator.
