the strategy should be clear, shouldn't it?

i'm looking forward to all ideas which will make this deck more stronger.

Definately needs One Good Turn Deserves Another, Community Living and No Visitors.

Bilbo + Daddy-twofoot + No Visitors = mega cancelling burden removal engine. Its higly annoying.

Drop Gandalf and Pallando, unless you plan an initiative style to the deck, but RB Hobbits arent the best for initiative decks.

[King89]

thanks for you comment.

i included gandalf in this deck to be a bit saver against nasty events like "Lost to the Goblins".
pallando is used because there are some shadow conditions you have to destroy if you wanna win. best example: SHARPS SLOWLY ADVANCING !!!

"No Visitiors" is a good no question, but it doesn't help to win skirmishes i'll be thinking of put it into the deck.
"Community Living" is good too...
"One Good Turn Deserves Another" makes me add a burden to take it back into hand - there for i've got smeagol.... and it doesn't make site number -1.

i also thought about "Little Golden Flower" but 3 twilight pool is quiet heavy.

[TheJord]

Yeah look at the combo

Burden for Smeagol
Daddy-twofoot pulls back No Visitors
Bilbo cancels after peeling burdens
Smeagol plays next site
Safe Passage!

Put Safe Passage in.

[King89]

....
Put Safe Passage in.

this combo is nasty, my friend.

although it's a completly other strategy: choking insteat of fighting.

[TheJord]

I think you can combine the 2. If you want to go straight fighting, go Westfarthing Businessman with Sudden Fury. With 4 of them and 4 SotS out.... huge.

[King89]

i think i will test some of your ideas to see how they fit )

[Elrohir]

Vermisse Pippin, Merry, Tom Bombadil und Goldbeere. Neunfingriger Frodo ist auch gut. Effekte abzulegen ist Pflicht -Entweder Gandalf oder Elben. Außerdem muss Galadriels Phiole rein!

[King89]

look (to speak english here ) how this deck work. you will see that most of your idea's do not improve it, mainly pippin or merry ... maybe i sholud think about tom, but what's about gold berry? i just have one river in my advanture path deck

[Elrohir]

Tom Bombadil: removes burdens or threats! You can exert him for ninefingered Frodo!
Goldberry: heals Tom Bom, on Mithlond twice, and she pushs the companions which might be helpfull
Pippin may replace Gandalf, just in case...and get his skirmish canceld thanks to Tom Bombadil
Ninefingerd Frodo removes threat and burdens. You may exert you allies. Threats are dangerous in damage or archery decks. So be aware!

Replace sites with Gandalfs event.

I dislike Ringbound hobbits - but it is the main theme of this deck. Otherwise, I would ignore Smeagol and exchange Bilbo for Bilbo 12R... But this is another Deck.

Do not forget to take Galadriels Phiol! Merry and Pipin are nice for "We will see us again soon" (or like this).
Good Luck,
sincerly
Elrohir

i made some changes on the paper which should improve the deck and make it a bit more nasty.
... but i'm still looking for a condition discard without pallando! any ideas?!

[SomeRandomDude]

I think you should run Sam, Great Elf Warrior and the Frodo ring-bearer Weary from the Journey. Because Sam just gets huge, and that rocks.

Ring-bound hobbits typically choke and fight simultaneously, which is what makes them powerful. They can take on a lot, but they also choke very well.

Methinks that Safe Passage should be run with One Good Turn Deserves Another and perhaps some Golden Perch Ale. Ring-boun hobbits are notorious for abusing burdens and peeling them off like crazy. One Good Turn Deserves Another is absolutely awesome, and Bilbo + Golden Perch Ale ensures you'll never have a problem with burdens ever.

And yes, No Visitors with Bilbo and Daddy Twofoot is absolutely amazing.

[King89]

thanks NB, but i'm looking for condition discard.

[TheJord]

Gladden Homestead is the only removal card this deck could use, and its more clog than removal.

[SomeRandomDude]

Clog rocks.
