Frodo: Protected by Many
Such a Weight to Carry
Freeps side only:
Theoden: The Renowned (starting)
Theodred: 2nd Marshall (starting)
Eowyn: Restless Warrior
Eomer: Heir to Meduseld
Aragorn: Defender of the Free Peoples x 3
Arwen: QoE&M
Brego
Anduril, FOTW
Rider’s Spear
herugrim
Coif x 2
Firefoot
Eomer’s Spear
Eowyn’s Sword: Dernhelm’s Blade
Rohirrim Mount x 2
Horse of Rohan
Hadafang
Sting: Weapon of Heritage
Border Patrol x 3
The Tale of the Great Ring
Help in Doubt and Need
Ride with Me x 4
Simbelmyne x 3
Basic strategy: Start stables, exert to get Brego out and transfer to Aragorn.. Aragorn makes double and triple moves easy with his wound twice in regroup ability and then Eowyn gives him two tokens back. Put Coif and Herugrim on Theoden and use him to pump Ride with Me. Arwen is there for condition removal. Typical support cards for Frodo. Double and triple as much as possible.
Ideal first setup: Exert theoden to get brego on him. Heal. Play Border Patrol. Play aragorn, transfer brego to aragorn. |

awesome idea grashopper!
but... I think you'll never be able to start: bid one? two? or win head or tails!
Theodred is not playable if you bid a least one!
this is good, so rebuilt your starting deck!
see you |

In my meta, I can usually bid 0 and still have a 50/50 chance of starting. Good point, though.. Hmmm.. |

this aragorn is excellent in your deck, I was force to find something wrong in this deck, but this isn't your problem! Theodred is not that usefull no? |

This is a nice idea
Since you already have Arwen in there, maybe include an Uncertain Future to get some Elf tokens to pump Aragorn as well? |

yeah what about some elven token...
start Eowyn+Arwen (women power) and play some cards like this
-9 str to a minion that skirmish aragorn is that good, prevent some wound=more regroup exertion!
Rohan/elves is good with archery but you can just make your gorn the best one!
what kind of shadow do you play with this deck?
some non-forest culture ? |

Sure he is. Move limit +1.
I used to have a version of this that tried to do both elven tokens AND rohan tokens, but it wasn't reliable enough. Focusing on one helped a lot.
To answer the other question, I usually pair this with Cycle/Shapes Naz.
3 x Moving this Way
4 x Shapes Slowly Advancing
Rest 4 cost Naz with exception of Nenya (sites), Black Rider, or Toil Naz (Enquea & WK).
The idea is to get as many Naz out, cycle your hand if you think they'll stay (with Moving this Way) and pile tokens on Shapes or force them to clog their hand with companions.. Either way, it usually sets up the freeps well, and with move limit +1, you can usually outrun them if the Naz don't stop them. |

Not a bad idea. I'll work on a new concept with that.. |

Do or do not, there is no try |

yes, the border patrol is there for tokens only. It's the easiest condition to get 3 tokens on. Eowyn is there to reinforce the tokens on regroup moves.. |
