This may be going in a bit of a different direction than you want, but Bilbo's Pipe will let you shuffle tales back into your deck.  Gandalf's Pipe can remove burdens to activate your Shire CountrysideThe Gaffer's Pipe can remove twilight if that is building up too much.  Aragorn and Gimli both have pipes rounding out a 5 person fellowship.

There are plenty of shire, gondor and dwarf tales to play around with.  Bilbo, Well-Spoken Gentlehobbit can help you with getting rid of enemy conditions, and the tales discarded can be brought back with Bilbo's Pipe.  The nice thing about the Bilbo stuff is that it works with tales of any culture.

Like I said, this may be moving in a different direction than you were planning, as it shifts the focus from elf tales to shire tales.  Pipeweed will help you cycle through your deck though as can Gandalf, The Grey Pilgrim with Risk a Little Light, and/or Questions That Need Answering.

Cool idea (I never pay much attention to the pipes). Thanks Gwaihir Smiley

It is not so much that I am interested in elven tales as I want to download tales using The Council of Elrond (to get Red Book of Westmarch ASAP, as I will bid to go first and get Bilbo with Hobbiton Party Field).

Beyond that I want an easy way to remove burdens to heal using The Shire Countryside provided the deck is based around mass exertions (Aragorn, Legolas archery OR Boromir and his horn) were two models that seemed to fit. Gimli Son of Gloin also fits and I am sure there are many others.

You could build around gandalf exertions.  Wizard's Staff weakens enemies, but requires two exertions.  Gandalf's Staff cancels skirmishes with two exertions.  Staff assunder lets you get rid of any minion you want to wit two exertions.  Then there is Trust Me As You Once Did to boost other companions with the Gandalf signet, again with an exertion.

If Frodo is strong enough to fight a moderate strength minion, the ring could add two burdens per skirmish giving you plenty of burdens to remove to activate Shire Countryside.  Then Gandalf's pipe would be your burden removal mechanism.

Longbottom Leaf would be great for your deck because it lets you throw away 2 cards.  If you are drawing 4 per turn because of Red Book of Westmarch, that will come in handy.

I once made a deck that centered around hobbit allies and pipes, it worked well. Just about any pipes work well.
