Wow. Thanks for the awesome advice Felipe. I really appreciate it 
hblika: The ability to drop the bomb over and over is this: The deck is almost all minions. When I draw up my shadow cards 98% of the time they will be minions, and with the Captain, I can pull back an extra Regular or Vigilant Uruk.
Also, it is usually not necessary to drop the bomb more than 3 sites in a row. They are usually dead on the first or second time.
I pair it with a Rohandalf deck using Simbelmyne and Gamling, Defender of the Hornburg. It sets up before site three and then chokes the rest of the way. I also have final account in there to pull back extra cards if I need them.
This allows me to set up fast, and then save all my minions for a bomb, and then do it again.
As far as relying on a good amount of twilight, this deck is almost guaranteed to have enough unless playing against a deck like Solo Smeagol. In region 3, you are getting  for the region alone, plus the site, plus the companions, and plus whaty your opponent plays.
Like I said in the article, this deck usually needs to be paired with a FP side that cycles well and sets up fast to work well.
Also, here are the decks I remember that I have beaten with it:
Pipeweed/Moria Swarm
Dwarves/Sauron Discarding Corruption
Elven Archery/Southron Wounding
Elven Archery/Uruk Tracker Beatdown
Elvent/Beasterlings
There have been others, but I can’t remember them off the top of my head |

Thanks! Like I said, I actually PLAYED this deck (back on FotR block, so the minions were slightly different), it was the Shadow of my friend’s (the one who share cards with me) deck, and as I said, we were undefeated, mostly because of our shadows. It won us most of our games. But, of course, he DID get to use Saruman... Oh, and I don’t know your meta, but since back in FotR EVERYONE played Aragorn, he included 2 copies of Can you Protect Me From Yourself? to pile in some burdens, check if that fits you. Since Armor and Gimli’s Helm was ALSO a pain, he also used Beyond the Height of Men (Troop of Uruk-hai fares GREATLY again, ’cause all of that exertions). Oh, I forgot to mention he used Lurtz’s Battle Cry. However, on Towers Block, he played ANOTHER awesome Uruk Shadow with swarms and Attack on Helm’s Deep, so you could think of combining them. Uruk Stormer is nice on this subject, combined with Enquea (Enquea don’t activate it, but you can sue Enquea to weaken several companions, so the damage+X, due to the Battle Cry, kills them), due to the high damage number, and Uruk-hai Band, Uruk-hai Mob, Uruk-hai Patrol and Uruk-hai Horde were just KILLER, as, OF COURSE, was Uruk Vanguard. I guess, though, that this would call for a totally different type of shadow, but I think that, combining it with the Worry + Rampage combo (I never actually tried it like this, though), using Captain and Evil Afoot (did I mention it also gets Saruman back?  ), and either Saruman (overkill) or Broad-bladed Sword, and that guy you use to turn all sites into battlegrounds, it’s going to make a KILLER shadow! Hum... I smell an Article...  |
