Don't recall at the moment.

The fellowship is designed to chock and the shadow is Moria swarm.
I have used this deck for a number of years now and feel very comfortable using it.  I has always performed well. I'm interested if anyone has any feedback to add.

Thanks

How often do you double move with this fellowship?

It is very easy to double move at the start to site 3.  Usually it gives out about 5 maybe 6 pool for the first turn.  The double for the win (site 8 to 9) usually works out ok.  Cards like Depart Silently, Wielder of the Flame, and Bounder can keep minions off Frodo and keep him alive for the last site win.

If I get a PATHS, I will try it.  It definitely is a good card.

Maybe add Relics of Moria for your shadow... You could drop 1 Host of thousands.

i recommend Deft in Their Movements for double moves as you can spot allies as well as companions for it

I have a bone to pick. Choke decks, by definition, play a very small amount of cards per turn, and I don't really see a lot of cycling, with a single They Are Coming tossed into a huge deck. I think you should invest in swarming, thus losing the Cave-Trolls, otherwise you might find your hand clogged in some games.

The vampire has a point.  Many times I have been mocked for using They are Coming, but it has shown its quality more times than I can count.  Clever idea for a Gandalf choke.  I never would have considered a Gandalf Defender.

I'm confused, why are there 3 copies of they are coming.  It's good, but not that good.

They are Coming is great, cycling is always useful and sometimes you need to pull a Goblin Scavengers to draw a card and get things going.

They Are Coming is usually at least x2 in my moria decks. Since the scimitas give you hand extension, you usually can pitch some free peoples cards to gain that last minion needed for the kill.

indeed, cycling is very ahndy, but you don't need 3 copies of they are coming.  two is more than enough, play a goblin armory or another minion.

In moria you could easily use 3 they are coming, since the third copy, depending on what your opponent plays, can be easily discarded with the first one. Moria can be big, we all know and to have good cycling early on, is good.

I just don't see the point of using 3, but then again, I am a victim of the 30/30 curse.

My take on a 35 card Moria Swarm.

Ulaire Enquea, Lt. 3
Goblin Runner 4
Goblin Sneak 4
Goblin Scavengers 4
Goblin Scimitar 4
Guard Commander 3
Cave Troll of Moria, Scourge of the Black Pit 2

Goblin Armory 4
Goblin Swarms 3
They are Coming 3
Relics of Moria

Goblin Sneak guarantees a solid Shadow hand at site seven or eight (with the cycling of They are Coming, you are guaranteed to be towards the end of your deck by then). As for the Nazgul, what is the real biggest threat to Moria Swarm? No, not really Paths...you can get around that. It is people who see swarm and immediately think, "Okay, I'm going to just play every companion I have!" Even a team of Frodo, four Dwarf Guards and four Lorien Elves can legitimately survive against the swarm if they are all out there. Thus, Enquea.

I am a little skeptical on the good guy side of things, but I would suggest Isildur's Bane over the Ruling Ring and adding a few more Bounders. I don't know what you'd want to remove to get that in there.

Also you have to have to have to have to have Sleep, Caradhras x3. That is way better than Deep in Thought. That will be your protection against Moria Swarm, Blade Tips, Orc Bowmen, and well, not very many Uruk conditions are any good anyways.

Good luck!
