 Before you post take note of 1 thing.
1. Yes I have Greenleaf, NO I'm not going to use him. Don't bother to say anything about him.


 Now then, the strategy is pretty clear. Try to kill them in the archery phase. If that dosen't happen, The allies are there to reinforce archery. If that fails, kill off the allies with Swan-ship. Discard as much as you can with The Mirror and Ancient Enmity and Far-seeing Eyes just to be annoying. Legolas + The Tale of Gil-galad + The White Arrows of Lorien + Aragorn  Twisted!

 So for the minions it's pretty simple. I realize I could add a lot more cards to make it discard more, but I'm going for Half and Half. This deck is mainly geared towards killing large companion decks and Elf decks. Every card is pretty self-explanitory.

 Questions or Comments?

The Mirror of Galadriel's errata makes it useless. Your Frodo is naked... give him Sting or Frying Pan.

I would add at least one (probably two) of The Last Alliance of Elves and Men.  It'll help you if any minions get past your archery. Smiley

If I were you, I'd rather have Sam, SoH than 1 Elf Song. You can kill him instead of having another companion die during a skirmish.

 Goods Comments. I'll probably remove Elf Song and The Mirror for Sam and Sting. I do have a  Sauron Discarding deck. But It's paired with my Dwarven discarding deck. (Expanded)

Isengard discard works well in FOTR.

I know this is FotR, but did you ever notice how sick Uruk-hai Rampage would be in a berserker deck.... Evil

 Absaloutly, I have a friend that uses Worry and Uruk-hai Rampage in a Uruk-hai Beserker deck. Twisted!

Uruk Shaman? No way! You need Lurtz and Lurtz's Sword.

 Um good suggestion, but are you kidding me. How else am I going to heal up before Archery without the Shaman and plus, what are the odds that I'll actually pull Lurtz and his sword at the same time.

I am not kidding you. I have played hundreds on games on GCCG and I haven't seen Uruk Shaman once. I have never used him in any deck I have made. It is probably because he is a very weak minion. Why do you want to heal your Uruks before archery phase anyway?

If you have 4 Lurtz, or 3 Lurtz and 2 Uruk Captain and put 2 Swords in the deck, you have good chances of pulling both at the same time.

 The point of Uruk Shaman is to heal all of those guys I've had to exert during shadow for Saruman's Snows and Worry. The main point is that this is a REAL LIFE deck. I wouldn't mind adding stuff to change it but it would add to the finishing time and I'm only a couple cards away from finishing. AND none of my friends play FOTR block so it really dosen't matter.

 But I do Like the idea of Uruk Captain because I think I have an extra one.

I dont see much point in the shadow site. I am missing Saruman, KoI and Savagery to Mtch their Numbers, since we are in FotR they are allowed.

just go uruk rager, uruk soldier, uruk slayer, isengard sword, lurtz's sword, lurtz, saruman, koi, savagery, and a breeding pit or two, that's the best Isengard discard.

 Yes but the most important is the combos of:
 Cruel Caradhras + Worry + Alive and Unspoiled
 Saruman's Reach + Too Much Attention

 Those combo's are why you need Uruk Shaman

To be honest, everytime I've tried to use these combos, I've lost. Everytime I've played vs someone who tried to use them, I've won. These combo are very weak compared to everything else you can do in FOTR Block.

Worry is still a good card, especially with Uruk Trackers in TS or Movie.
