They're free, so they aid your choke, and are non-unique. But I think your burden removal is fairly strong as it is, given the amount that you're self-inflicting. Frodo Gamgee might fit as well using that strategy, if only to put into play and drop a couple burdens off deployed H&H's.
I'm not sure H&H will help much. For the H&H's to work, I would need to keep Bilbo in hand, so I could play the H&H's first. Also, I'm pretty sure followers don't count as Hobbits. I don't think followers has a race I can spot. I might try the Pippin engine though. A 2-3 H&H, 3-4 copies of Pippin, HoSI for some massive burden removal. Not sure what I would remove from the current build to make room for those cards though. |

Unfortunately, you're right. Serves me right for not having my morning coffee before posting. 
At the same time, however, "Hobbit of Some Intelligence" will die the instant the fellowship moves with the Smeagol ring-bearer. Make Haste is invalidated as he can't survive to the manuver phase.  |

That is true, but I would only use HoSI to remove burdens. I wouldn't be using him for anything else, so it desn't matter that he is discarded when the fellowship moves.  |

Even still, with Pippin going to the dead pile, you can only get one use of him in there.
There's gotta be a solution to this somewhere in the binder. |

You are so right. Didn't think of that  I somehow thought Smeagol's text only discarded a companion. Oh well, back to the drawing board... |
