Strategy
Fellowship
Use Faramir and the Ranger to protect Smeagol until het gets set up, then kill them off if needed. Make sure that you get Hardy Garrison down first. Once you get set up you want to limit the pool as much as possible. Smeagol has plenty of tricks to deal with the few minion he should face. Smeagol will get huge, so he should be able to win many skirmishes. Any minions he can’t beat outright can usually be wounded to death. Hardy garrison gives you a free wound each turn, because you will normally pe tossing cards to either don’t look at them or where shall we go. Safe Paths is in here to take the lead on the sitepath once you get things rolling. A timely triple move can put the game away. You have to play this before you lose faramir or the ranger, because you have to add two threats to play it.
Shadow
Use retribution and Orc Spear to add burdens. Orc Miscreant is good times, and frenzied orc helps him win so that you get extra burdens in the regroup. You are going for corruption, but if you have the chance to swarm that works as well. Nothing too fancy here, just get those burdens on faster than they can remove them. |

Decent deck. I would point out that you may want to make you deck a little smaller. You’re going to have trouble putting in all those key cards before Smeagol winds up getting killed. Huge deck, but a great overall strategy.  |

| I do think it is a little on large side, but it plays well for being that big. I could probably drop 7 cards or so per side, but I haven’t looked at it in a while before I posted it. Cutting 7 per side would make it is the mid 70’s, which isn’t too terrible. |
