Why do you want to cut the deck to 30 cards? Surely you could pair it with a fast-cycling Shadow side (
They Are Coming,
Abandoning Reason for Madness, etc.) and run something that is comfortably 34/34?
That said, there are several changes that I would make overall. I would certainly start with mathes' suggestions, but there are other thoughts I have:
-
Mithril-Coat could be the difference between life and death, particularly against
swarm.
- Similarly, O Elbereth! Githoniel! should be splashed.
- I'd cut one copy of
Sting rather than one copy of
Hobbit Sword, personally.
- If the deck is a bit bigger, four copies of
A Promise can make Sam and Frodo potent fighters.
Good luck with your build.
