STRATEGYThis deck is all about winning with your fellowship. So this shadow is just there to help you cycle.
Here is what you need to do turn by turn to win with this deck (It is actually possible to win, I'm 1-0 so far):
Bidding: High enough to start, 3 is usually enough in TT block.
Site 1: Play Aragorn from your draw deck and all Freeps Card you have in hand.
At
site 3 you need to have:
Ever my heart rises,
These are my people, Theoden, Eomer, Eowyn and
News from the Mark. I would suggest to walk to site 3 to be sure you have these, you can still double-move if you think you will be alright. Normally, once you have
Ever my heart rises in play, some of these cards will be stacked on it.
Still at
site 3, once you have these, play all your companions, discard your entire draw deck with
Ever my heart rises then play
These are my people to equip your companions. Then play
News from the Mark (could actually play another one if you want to run straight to site 9 but its dangerous). Transfer
Brego from Eowyn to Aragorn.
At
site 4, survive vs a monstrous attack, try to kill as many minions as possible, or at least exert them with the horses. At this point, you want at least Pippin, Merry, Gimli and Gorn to stay alive. You move to site 5 and kill some minions with Aragorn's ability.
At
site 5, your opponent will probably have a hand full of Free People cards due to having played all the shadow cards they had. He will play 1 or 2 minions max. Just like site 4, kill them or exert them with the horses. Then you triple-move to site 6 and kill more minions with Gorn's ability.
At
site 6 and 7 (yes, you move again to site 7), there will probably be no minion in play, maybe one.
Then. if you played 2
News from the Mark at site 3, you can continue until site 9 and win. Otherwise... play nothing during your next shadow phase and double-move from 7 to 9 next turn.
Don't forget you can use
Axe of Erebor with the useless shadow cards stacked on
Ever my heart rises to win key skirmishes.
Obviously this deck has some weaknesses...
Hides will be a problem and some other cards as well... but overall it can work.
