So the shadow is pretty straight forward, work to get minions stacked on the Goblin Swarms and drop some bombs starting at site 5ish, the free peoples is very combo intensive. At the start, Smeagol/Pippin will take care of most minions. Once you start getting set up, The extra Pippin is there to switch once you past the site where you're opponent stops roaming. Unheeded/Shadowplay will kill some people, Aragorn and his bow will drop 1 or two, Smeagol/Don't Look At Them will mop up the leftovers. Aragorn and Merry will fight the survivors. Don't Look At Them triggers A Light In His Mind which combines with The Shire Countryside to rinse and repeat. Use Never and/or Aragorn to remove threats, Frodo to play back Smeagol, voila, ready to go.

I know, it would die to Saruman's Power, but it's loads of fun to play when you're opponent fails to decimate your support area.

Then Shadowplay as much isengard minion as possible until it's too late

After a few games, figured out it's best to go second as you have a better chance of drawing key cards before your first freeps turn.

Shadowplay limit once per turn. if you have 4 out can you do it 4 times... probably a dumb question but just had to make sure.
