Shadow (33)
1x *Last Days (12U71)
3x *Bill Ferny, Agent of Saruman (15R72)
2x *Castamir of Umbar, Corsair Vandal (12R56)
4x *Easterling Host (11R75)
3x *Saruman, Coldly Still (17S48)
4x *Ted Sandyman, Chief's Men's Ally (18U75)
3x *The Mouth of Sauron, Messenger of Mordor (12S73)
1x Column of Easterlings (11C72)
4x Ferocious Haradrim (11U80)
4x Rapt Hillman (15U90)
4x Pavise (11C94)

This is something I came up with when I read Ted Sandyman more carefully. Liberate a site to make each minion strenght +2 until regroup. Well, I was thinking, we could do something with that. Rapt Hillman controls the sites, ted liberates them. This way you have a nice, cheap combo of getting strong minions all the time. Think of possible 2/3 hillmans, sandyman and ferny at 1 site. That would be awesome. Well, I keep on dreaming, but I liked the concept.
Fellowship is also just something I tried. I actually do not like it a lot, because it is condition based, which can be nice, but very weak at the same time. Get those conditions out, and keep reinforcing those tokens.....

Yeah, ok, Faithful Stone is an option. But how do you like the shadow? The whole concept of sitecontrolling, liberating and thus strong minions?

I think shadow-wise a swarm might be a better option than just plain beatdown.

Like, Easterling Dispatcher bomb. 7-8 minions that are each +2 for each site you could liberate would be pretty intense.

On the fellowship, I'm not sure if you have enough rangers to support the Soldier's Cache / Defenses Long Held thing. Although I don't know who else would be good.

Drop Hope Renewed , New-Awakened, and Sharpen Your Swords.

Where's Throne of Minas Tirith? THATS a possession discard engine.

If you're worried about being too dependent on conditions, just add in more copies in case they get removed.

Drop Horn of Boromir (the followers you have you should actually be using) for some sword of sword for Boromir. Find Faramir a sword (preferably one that adds a damage bonus for Throne of Minas Tirith) as well.
Happy Hunting!

the faithful stone is still broken. 2pool is too much, and besides that opponent has to play minions and playing them adds tokens. +its not unique. if you have two stones at same time on board shadow player has to pay 4 and that is lots of precious pool. And as offtopic, you can play The faithful stone in rohan and gandalf men decks. So its still broken.

"If" we don't make too broken deck you should add prized lagan and some threat removal.

Horn of boromir is for Saruman, Servant of Sauron so keep it. And shadow looks cool :p

There are way too many broken cards now--Prized Lagan (definitely), Namarie, Erkenbrand's Shield, any of the new horns, and Gondorian ranger--do not skirmish, ever stuff.

Is the erratum on Faithful Stone official?
