Between these tags, give a short description of your deck.  Go a step beyond basic decktype info, and tell us what makes your design unique!

This the deck i’m taking to my LGS’ next tourney (it’s expanded format)
 
 
FP:33
 
 
Starting:
 
1x Frodo, Courteous Halfling
 
1x The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
 
1x Faramir, Captain of Gondor,
 
1x Madril, Defender of Osgiliath
 
1x Aragorn, Strider
 
1x Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver
 
Companions:
 
2x Damrod, Dunadan of Gondor
 
2x Halbarad, Ranger of the North
 
Possesions:
 
4x Ithilien Blade
 
4x Ranger’s Cloak
 
1x Ranger’s Sword
 
1x Aragorn’s Bow, Ranger’s Longbow
 
1x Faramir’s Bow
 
1x Sting, Bane of the Eight Legs
 
Events:
 
4x Battle Cry
 
Conditions:
 
4x Invigorated
 
2x Gondor Bowmen
 
1x The Saga of Elendil
 
1x Boromir, My Brother
 
1x The Tale of the Great Ring
 
 
Basically the idea is to add threats with Aragorn’s bow and Ranger’s Cloak, and use Madril and the cloaks to make minions roaming, and blow the big ones up with Ithilien Blade. Saga and Boromir, My Brother give me even more vitality, whilst Invigorated,Damrod and Halbarad provide healing. Pippin is good for finishing minions off, and the Gondor Bowmen are there for anti-swarm. Faramir’s bow is brutal with Pippin.
 
 
 
Shadow:33
 
 
Minions:
 
4x Easterling Army
 
4x Easterling Captain
 
4x Easterling Axeman
 
2x Easterling Regiment
 
1x Easterling Footman
 
Possesions:
 
4x Easterling Polearm
 
4x Raider Bow
 
Events:
 
4x Red Wrath
 
2x Discovered
 
Conditions:
 
4x Small Hope
 
 
It’s your standard Beastering deck,add burdens with Small Hope and the Footman then use Captain’s with Polearm’s,Raider bow’s and Red Wrath to kill companions. |

For the Free Peoples, the only thing I would suggest adding is What Are They. It works very well in this type of deck.
 
 
I have a Shadow nearly identical to yours (main difference is that I only have 2 copies of Small Hope  ). Your version looks very strong. |

| The shadow is soo much fun to play. I considered What Are They? but I didn’t have room, I thought about playing them instead of the battle cry’s,but with the Ithilien Blades I have enough discarding,and also if (for some reason) the minions aren’t roaming,the battle cry’s can help me win the skirmishes, and won’t just clog my hand. |
