So I've run this deck up and it does pretty well. I've only had the shadow side lose once and that was to a pretty dedicated archery side. The free side doesn't do as well.

Great Siege TowersSites
Steps of Edoras Rohirrim Camp Base of Mindolluin Anduin Banks Crashed Gate Minas Tirith Sixth Circle Osgiliath Channel Morgul Vale DagorladThe strategy is relatively simple, make sure you go second an then, set up some fortifications ASAP at site 3 pull a
sixth level and another depending on the deck type your opponent is using (Fourth/fifth level usually work well.) Take out their tanks using
Fourth level and
Citadel of the Stars/
Stone Tower/
Gondor Bow, then pull the forts back using
sixth level. Use
Duty of Two/
Hearts Raised for some nice healing after the exertions. Aragorn's text helps heal also.
Shadows a bit better and more fun
. In the beginning set-up your engines and start to take sites using
Siege Troop. Towards site 5 I start playing hard. Use your engines to play your trolls for dirt.
GHT helps beat back initiative spammers while Abomonation of Sauron stacks minions on sites to allow
troop tower to start buffing my orcs. When the regroup phase hits you A) take sites B) trash their set-up ('Grond! Grond! GROND!') C) Stack any remaining minions on your sites. Then use
TMC to play them back or just leave them. A really nice loop is
TMC,
Gorgoroth Troop,
Gorgoroth Officer, and some minion pulled off a site. They can easily substitute for a troll esp. with
Gorgoroth Pillager on a site. Comments?
