I recently made this deck. I made my friend scowl and call the deck "gay" several times. (He wasn’t too happy with what I could do). He told me that I better post it on the boards. So here it is in all of it’s glory.
Free Peoples(60 cards):
Starting Fellowship:
Gimli, Bearer of Grudges
The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
Durin III, Dwarven Lord
Linnar, Dwarven Lord
Companions:
Uri, Dwarven Lord
Dwarf Guard x4
Farin, Dwarven Emissary
Gloin, Friend to Thorin
Sindri, Dwarven Lord
Dwarven Warrior x2
Fror, Gimli’s Kinsman x2
Possessions/Artifacts:
Dwarven Armor x4
Dwarven Bracers x4
Gimli’s Helm x2
Book of Mazarbul x3
Dwarven Axe x3
Ring of Accretion
Ring of Guile
Ring of Retribution
Conditions:
Lord of Moria x4
Till Durin Wakes Again x2
Events:
Disquiet of Our People x4
Delving x4
Here Lise Balin, Son of Fundin x4
Tidings of Erebor x4
Still Draws Breath x3
Stratagey:
Now, there are a lot of cards here. But who cares, I’ve decked out by site 8 with this deck. The idea probably would be to get a Book of Mazarbul out by site 4. That way you will draw the optimum amount of cards.
Companions:
There are plenty of companions to go around, since this deck doesn’t have you expecting to win a lot of skirmishes, but, instead have a "suicide" dwarf to take the blunt of the attack of minions, sacrificing them if necessary, or just wounding them greatly. For the first few sites this deck will seem like a choke deck, but when you decide to start playing 9 companions by site 4 and a Book of Mazarbul, it doesn’t seem so choking anymore.
Possessions: They are there to keep your guys from being killed. Not much more, dwarven armor is the best thing here, keeps your guys from being overwhelmed. Dwarven Bracers and Gimli’s Helm prevents wounds.
Conditions:
Till Durin Wake again heals dwarves when you move from underground sites, and Dwarven Lord keep’s Gimli’s resistance up.
Events:
Disquiet of our People makes a suicide dwarf, spot an orc and exert a Dwarven Guard and take out the 3 most powerful minions. Delving and Tidings of Erebor draw 3 cards, part of the rapid draw. Here Lies Balin, Son of Fundin kills an orc or 2. Still Draws breath heals dwarves.
The whole idea is to draw as many cards as you can to get the shadow side set up for your shadow turn.
Shadow:
Minions:
Ulaire Toldea, Eighth of the Nine Riders x2
Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul x2
Ulaire Enquea, Ringwraith in Twilight x2
Ulaire Attea, The Easterling x3
Ulaire Attea, Black Predator x1
Ulaire Nelya, Ringwraith in Twilight x3
The Witch-King, Lord of the Nazgul x2
The Witch-King, Lord of Angmar x2
Possessions/Artifacts:
The Pale Blade x2
Black Flail
Morgul Blade
Fell Beast x4
The Witch-King’s Beast, Fell Creature
Ring of Rancor x2
Ring of Asperity x2
Conditions:
Spied from Above
Stooping to the Kill
Lingering Shadow x3
The Ring Draws Them x3
Blade Tip x3
Sense of Obligation x2
Events:
Wraith-World x2
Dark Whispers x3
Return to It’s Master x2
Resistance Becomes Unbearable x3
The Will Find The Ring x2
In the Ringwraiths Wake x3
It Wants to Be Found x2
Stratagey:
Add Burdens. 
ex. The Witch-King, LOTN + Fell Beast, Black Flail, Ring of Rancor = Dead Ring-Bearer (or close). |

I may be wrong, but I think Book of Mazarbul doesn't work anymore, because "site 4" refers to Fellowship block. It had to be spelled "any site 4" to work with the new path.
If it's true, the whole idea collapses, unless you play No pauses, No Spills x4 |

I have always played that it works with Shadow sites as well, Site 4 refers to the 4th site played, therefore it should work with the shadow sites... Also, even so, Book of Mazarbul is rotated out so it wouldnt work too well with standard play anyway....  |

Well, does anyone else have anything to contradict the deck that so far I consider my "masterpiece?"

| I think your event abuse is more solid, but that is just me. |
