Hey everyone, here’s a deck I’ve been playing, but it was made pre-shadows and I need some advice on how to modify it with some of the cards from sets 11+
Frodo, wicked masster!
The One Ring, Such a Weight To Carry
(30)
Faramir, wizard’s pupil (S)
Pippin wearer of black and silver (S)
Gandalf, defender of the west x4
Glamdring, elven blade x2
Terrible and evil x2
Moment of respite
Light the beacons
Fool’s hope
Denethor Wizened steward x2
Aragorn, driven by need x4
Noble leaders x2
Knight’s spear x3
Dagger Strike x2
Gondorian Merchant
Hobbit Sword x2
Sam, needer of vittles
(30)
the witch-king, morgul king x4
ulaire cantea, faster than winds x2
ulaire enquea, faster than winds x2
corrupt
feel his blade
out of sight and shot
ulaire attea, wraith on wings x2
ulaire lemenya, assailing minion x2
ghastly host
held ground
morgul ruffian x2
ulaire nelya, assailing minion x2
ulaire toldea, wraith on wings x3
captured by the ring x4
gollum, vile creature
1 steps of edoras
2 west roads
3 hall of kings
4 Osgiliath fallen
5 city gates
6 minas tirith fifth circle
7 pelennor grassland
8 morgulduin
9 dagorlad
The strategy is pretty obvious, a basic noble leaders. Aragorn is great with knight’s spear. Faramir and Pippin help you on the way to site 3, while you get your fellowship set up. Gandalf is usually a nine strength right off the bat, and you usually draw all of your companions quickly. Sam helps against things like Beasterlings, letting you remove burdens every time you return Pippin to hand and play him again, and you can return him to hand more and more with Gondorian merchant, who will make minions roaming.
The shadow is a basic Threat Guls. You use the Witch-King to help cycle cards back to hand so that you can always play a good shadow. Feel his blade is a great way to slow the fellowship down.
Please tell me what you think I should do to adjust this. I would like to keep as many cards as I can, and I would like the basic strategy to be the same. Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
PW |

i dont get why your using gandalf, defender of the west, is it just cause of the strength bonus? and if you draw him before any other gondor companions his special effect is useless, id replace him, but thats just me  |

You obviously need new sites. Courtyard Parapet for starters. For those threats, City Gates. And The Angle, to cycle.
A Shadow Fell Over Them will help your threat strategy, and Later Than You Think uses threats to get more nazzies out. 
Ulaire Lemenya, Eternally Threatening is great for threats, especially against rainbow decks.
For Free Peoples, why do you have two options for Aragorn’s weapon? If you play Knight’s Spear on him, he can’t bear Anduril, Flame of the West (unless you get Chamber of Mazarbul) Also, just ditch Knight’s Spear for a weapon that won’t add threats. |

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.  |

I could probably replace a held ground and a ghastly host with either 2 a shadow fell over them, or 2 later than you think. And I’m going to change sites for sure, but I’m not sure about Courtyard Parapet. It’s a great site, but I don’t know if I want to push for both corruption and wounding. More advice anyone?
