Problem 1 ... I lose because my Ringbearer is corrupted ... what can I do about this ....

Brace of Coneys (This is about as straight forward as it can get)
Frodo's Cloak (Universal use for all decks, and a bonus effect)

Frodo Tired Traveller (with Ringbound Rangers)

Cliffs of Emyn Muil (not a great option)

Good Work (How do I get my Hobbits to win?)
Impatient and Angry (How about this? And a bonus ....)
Sam Samwise the Brave

No Help For It (For those Smeagol decks)
Not Listening (More Smeagol stuff)

OR

Any version of Sam (get Frodo killed before he is corrupted)

OR

Any version of Gandalf with Grown Suddenly Tall or any other event destruction often solves the problems you face most Shadow deck strategies.

Some of these cards only work in certain deck types, but some are exclusively used by Frodo. If your Ring Bearer is getting corrupted you might need to include some protection.

I am sure there are many other solutions as well .....

So what are the the solutions to the next problem ....

IMO ... after all of one game ... the most overpowered cards in Towers Block are ...

Merry Learned Guide
Pippin Woolly-footed Rascal

and the support cards that keep returning them to play.

Solution:

Warg-riders mounts cancel skirmish abilities ...
Ambush?


are there any others?

Uruk Trackers are good - they mess up unbound hobbits and rohan and allies. their assignment abilities are good too - i might give them a go - everyone look out Smiley

Not really:) Beserker are expensive and those 2 hobbits don't mind wounds, because they get discarded.

But they slow down really effectively! Just run with your freeps when you play Berserks!

That depends on what your opponent plays

Any ideas on how best to counter a southron wounding strategy?
Which cultures offer the best healing options in TT?
Would keeping twilight to a minimum be effective against this?

When in doubt, make it smaller!

Rohan with their allies can provide some nice healing. Gandalf and Have Patience is good as well.

Keeping twilight to a minimum is hard in TT block, you cannot really do that.

My Smeagol, Sam, Frodo deck I posted in Towers adds very little twilight as all cards are either free or are used outside of fellowship. With three companions moving it is just site cost you have to worry about. Problem is, while it is good at a bit of choke ... I doubt it is capable of surviving with what little twilight enters the pool as their is no easy way to protect Frodo if four minions hit the table.
