 I’m new to this forum and just started playing LOTR TCG again a couple of months ago. Did play it years ago when EOF was the newest edition and couldnt resist now with those great prizes around for the old editions
   
 Anyway, wanted to post one of my favourite decks here:
 
 Fellowship Site: Pipeweeds
 
 Companions:
 1x Frodo, Old Bilbo’s Heir + The One Ring, Ruling Ring
 1x Gandalf, Friend of the Shirefolk (starting)
 2x Aragorn, Heir to the White City
 2x Gimli, Son of Gloin
 1x Legolas, Greenleaf
 
 Possessions:
 4x Old Toby
 4x Longbottom Leaf
 1x Glamdring
 1x Gandalf’s Staff
 1x Gandalf’s Cart
 1x Narya
 1x Ranger’s Sword
 1x Armor
 1x Mithril Coat
 1x Hobbit Sword
 1x Gimli’s Battle Axe
 1x Gimli’s Helm
 1x Dwarven Armor
 1x Gimli’s Pipe
 2x Aragorn’s Pipe
 1x Gandalf’s Pipe
 1x Frodo’s Pipe
 1x The Gaffer’s Pipe
 
 Events:
 4x Servant of the Secret Fire
 2x Intimidate
 1x Sleep, Caradhras
 
 Allies:
 1x Bounder
 1x The Gaffer, Father to Sam
 
 Conditions:
 1x Gandalf’s Wisdom
 1x Trust me as you once did
 
 
 Shadow Site: Isengard Orcse
   
 Minions:
 1x Orc Commander
 1x Orc Overseer
 4x Isengard Forger
 3x Isengard Retainer
 1x Isengard Servant
 1x Saruman, Servant of the Eye
 3x Isengard Smith
 2x Isengard Warrior
 3x Isengard Worker
 1x The Balrog, Durin’s Bane
 
 Events:
 4x Servants to Saruman
 3x The Trees are Strong
 1x Can you protect me from yourself?
 3x Coming for the Ring
 
 Conditions:
 2x Tower of Orthanc
 2x Sarumans Ambition
 2x Trapped and alone
 
 Possession/Artifacts:
 1x The Palantir of Orthanc
 4x Isengard Axe
 
 Both Sides include 42 cards. IMHO that is a bit much, so i’m thinking bout removing some cards from the deck. Just am not sure which. One fellowship side i thought about the two conditions, probably Dwarven Armor, one of Aragorn’s Pipes and maybe even Intimidate, though it saved me a couple of times.
 
 Shadow Site is more difficult though. I still need one Orc Commander and one Orc Overseer and additionally one The trees are strong. Dunno though what to remove from the Deck
 
 Hope you can help me with it.
 
 Cheers Arcor

 Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.

| Can you protect me ... yeah, could cut that. Kinda funny card, as in FOTR nearly all my friends play Aragorn, so it’s kinda useful, though most will add 2 burdens and thats it Personally i wouldnt cut the Balrog, cos it has happened several times already, that i had no orcs in hand while at site 5, so i can do at least some damage. Was thinking bout removing Palantir of Orthanc, but with enough minions and twilight pool it’s kinda cool to remove the whole hand, so that your opponent cant make his companions stronger.
 
 On fellowship site i guess i’ll remove gandalfs wisdom for sure. Play already Aragorn Heir, who removes 2 pool when i move. With Gaffer’s Pipe i can remove the rest. And i play only 2 companions with Gandalf sign, Frodo and Gimli.
 
 The real problem with Isengard Orcs is that they arent strong enough and there is only Servants to Saruman to make them stronger alongside Isengard Axe, and Servants only adds +2 strength. Not that much really. Was thinking bout including Isengard Shaman to remove pool to heal the other Orcs, cos they were beaten up by a strong Gimli the last times (i ******* hate Gimli full armed, any idea how to handle that guy???)

| Sorry for doubleposting, hope it’s no problem 
 I’ve reduced the fellowship site to 38 cards, removing both Intimidate, Gandalf’s Wisdom and one Aragorn’s Pipe.
 The Isengard Orcs have due to lack of inflicting wounds been replaced by a Nazgûl side, which consists of
 
 4x The Witch-King, Lord of the Nazgûl
 1x Ulaire Toldea, Messenger of Morgul
 1x Ulaire Enquea, Lieutnant of Morgul
 1x Ulaire Otsea, Lieutnant of Morgul
 2x Ulaire Nelya, Ringwraith in Twilight
 2x Morgul Skulker
 2x Ulaire Enquea, Ringwraith in Twilight
 1x Ulaire Otsea, Ringwraith in Twilight
 1x Morgul Gates
 3x Gates of the Dead City
 4x Threshold of Shadow
 4x It wants to be found
 2x The Pale Blade
 2x Nazgûl-Sword
 2x Drawn to its Power
 3x Blade Tip
 2x Black Breath
 1x In the Ringwraiths Wake
 
 The deck isn’t finished yet. I still need 3 more Morgul Gates, 3 Gates of the Dead City probably making way for them and at least one more Toldea, Probably another Lieutnant of Morgul Enquea aswell, Otseas making way and i could also replace In the Ringwraiths Wake with another Blade Tip
 Anyway, aim of the deck is to corrupt Frodo and kill of weak companions. 4 Weapons and 4x Threshold of Shadow should provide that the Nazgul win most fights and can transfer Blade Tips and Black Breath on the opponent’s companions.
 
 That’s my site path i use now
 1: Shire Lookout Point
 2: Weathertop
 3: Ford of Bruinen
 4: Eregion Hills
 5: The Bridge of Khazad-Dûm
 6: Caras Galadhon
 7: Anduin Wilderland
 8: Shores of Nen Hithoel
 9: Summit of Amon Hen
 
 I tested the deck yesterday and it worked fine, killed my dwarven deck (Gloin, Gimli, Farin, Fror and Aragorn) at site 9 though i had not played too many Nazgûl till site 6.
 If you have any ideas of making the deck better, let me know
 
 Cheers Arcor
