The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry
 
 
FP
 
1x Quickbeam (starting)
 
1x Pippin, BD (starting)
 
1x Merry, LC (starting)
 
3x Gandalf, LotC
 
1x Tolman Cotton

2x Out of the High Airs
 
 
4x G for Grand
 
4x Everyone Knows
 
3x Escape
 
3x Ent Draught
 
1x Tale of the Great Ring

4x Shelob, EoL
 
3x Troll of Cirith Gorgor

Huge Hobbits win most of their skirmishes. Load up Pippin first, Merry second. Fully healed Merry and Pippin are strength 21 and 22 respectively, with Merry going even higher as long there are other unbound companions assigned to a skirmish. Put the first Salt of the Shire on Pippin, so he is able to replace any unbound companion.
 
 
The Horn of the Mark is there only for the strength bonus! You don’t want to waste a vitality, when you have Out of the High Airs to discard minions.
 
 
Use skinbark only as backup in case you have to sacrifice Quickbeam, and you don’t have the Ent Draughts out yet.
 
 
Oh, and the reason there’s only 3 Escapes in the deck, is that Conor only had 3 in his inventory! LOL
 
 
The shadow side is a fairly standard Shelob Web side, but using the roaming Sauron Orcs which can hold their own in a fight. I have intentionally left out the Advance regular, since beeing fierce decreases the probability to survive until the regroup phase.[/b] |

| Gandalf, LoM is a god idea, but I need that Ent there so I can play the Ent Draughts. |

There is a power in this world beyond any of us, and Jesus is that power and The Savior.

You plan this as a running deck.That’s fine but they must survive and against Nazgul you can’t stop Nelya and Buckland to discard all your conditions when you add so much twighligth into pool.
 
It depends what is your meta.It seems that you are well protected against Corsairs.But for Nazgul I would add 3 Shadowplays and Sam,GEW, so he is strong and you have someone else to exert besides Frodo.
 
2 Travelled Leader wouldn’t be bad.And I would completely ommit the Ents.I also can’t see(maybe I am wrong) reason for Ent Draughts.
 
Horn of the Mark is not so worthy in my opinion.
 
Well this is the idea:
 
 
Ring-bearer / Ring
 
Frodo, Protected by Many
 
The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry
 
 
FP
 
1x Quickbeam (starting) NO
 
1x Pippin, BD (starting)
 
1x Merry, LC (starting)
 
3x Gandalf, LotC replace with LOM(starting)
 
1x Tolman Cotton NO
 
1x Skinbark NO
 
add Sam,GEW(get with Green Dragon Inn)
 
-5+1=-4 cards
 
1x Sting, BotEl
 
3x Hobbit Sword
 
1x Horn of the Mark NO
 
1x Glamdring, F-h
 
2x Salt From the Shire
 
add Gandalf’s Staff,Ash (muster + vitality)
 
-0 cards
 
2x Out of the High Airs
 
2x Travelled Leader(imagine playing Caras then discard all minions)  
 
+2
 
4x G for Grand
 
4x Everyone Knows
 
3x Escape
 
3x Ent Draught NO
 
1x Tale of the Great Ring 
 
add 3 Shadowplays 
 
add 2 Hobbit conditions for playing next site
 
+2 cards
 
 
Well,that’s how I would build it.Maybe you would need something for healing also.I think u are playing 33 deck,so if you an go with 35,then you can put somehting in. |
