I got the idea when i found the new Gandalf from Hunters. I did put a ton of cards in that aren’t allowed in expanded but if anyone has any pointers to make the Shadow devastate and the Freep side keep to the Expanded. And....Go....!
FR:
Frodo, Old Bilbo’s Heir
The One Ring, The Binding Ring
Companions:
Legolas, Greenleaf (s)
Sam, Son of Hamfast (s)
Gandalf, Powerful Guide
Aragorn, Heir to the White City
Allies:
The Gaffer, Sam’s Father
Barliman Butterbur, Prancing Pony Proprietor x2
Bounder
Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Wood
Possessions:
Long-knives of Legolas
Hobbit Sword
Sting
Athelas x2
Ranger’s Sword
Aragorn’s Bow x2
Gandalf’s Staff
Narya
Glamdring, Lightning Brand
Conditions:
The Tale of Gil-Galad
Events:
One Last Surprise
Intimidate x2
A Wizard is Never Late
Fury of the White Rider
Mithrandir, Mithrandir!
Servant of the Secret Fire x2
Fireworks x2
Strenght of Spirit x4
Have Patience
Shadow:
Gollum, Mad Thing x2
Gollum, Stinker x2
Ulaire Nelya, Ringwraith in Twilight x2
Easterling Pillager
Easterling Trooper
Easterling Guard x4
Easterling Infantry x2
Easterling Captain
Easterling Lieutenant x4
Heavy Burden x2
Captured by the Ring x4
We Must Have It x2
Hidden Even From Her x2
Gathering to the Summons x2
Easterling Polearm x4
Trap Is Sprung
Sites:
Bag End
The Prancing Pony
Ford of Bruinen
Eregion Hills
Pelenor Flat
Caras Galadhon
Silverlode Banks
Northern Ithilien
Slag Mounds
Strategy:
With the Freep side the idea is to get Gandalf and Aragorn out by site three (it gets scary if they don’t) to exert and wound minions in the archery phase. Using Gandalf’s text and SoS to continue to wound using burdens. Sam will of course take care of them in the fellowship next. Continuing to use spells throughout skirmishes/maneuver you can reaaally run!
Shadow is kinda iffy. Getting burdens out quickly by site 6 is a must. By the time i get to site 8 or 9 i can have gollum at 12 str and going with the Easterlings adding additional support and burden adding/utilization. Any weakness pointed out is appreciated, but please help pump it up!!!! |

hmmmm.....your fellowship has some X’ed cards but you already mentioned that so i wont go there.
As for your shadow, i suggest taking out the Easterling Pillager and adding another Trap is Sprung. The easterling pillager wont work very well because most of the lotr players now days know about the infamous ’rule of 5’. |

The deck seems slightly large - 36 cards is a bit too much if you have no big cycling.
Although it’s a good size for multiplayer games, I suppose. |
