With the first spoilers of Age’s End, a deck comes to mind that abuses the incredible power of The One Ring, The Great Ring
--- end description ---
(36 Cards)
Frodo, Resolute Hobbit
The One Ring, The Great Ring
Sam, Great Elf Warrior
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver
Merry, Swordthain
Bilbo, Aged Ring-Bearer
No Visitors x 4
Brave and Loyal x 4
Home and Hearth x 4
A Promise x 4
Daddy Twofoot, Next-Door Neighbor x 4
Sting, Weapon of Heritage
Hobbit Sword x 2
Salt From the Shire x 4
Phial of Galadriel, The Light of Earendil
Tom Bombadil, The Master
A Light in His Mind x 2
Tom Bombadil’s Hat
Abuse the Great Ring to its utmost. Burdens come off like crazy, leaving Frodo as your primary fighter. Cancel Skirmishes, beat up minions, and all around have fun. Throw Merry and Pippin into hand simultaneously to replay and peel off 8 burdens. That’s right, 8 BURDENS! Bilbo helps as well. |

 Add the popcorn smiley to your sig, help it achieve world domination.
What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about? 
As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"
 Spotlight on....Sense of Obligation. |

| If you want even more burden-removal fun, I’d almost consider putting 2 copies of Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence in the deck along with a few copies of Make Haste. I’d be tempted to cut Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver completely just for the Pippin engine. |
In his eyes was the look of a hunted beast seeking some gap in the ring of his enemies.  |

| I would play sam, great elf warrior even if it doesn’t help your strategy just in case to prevent cavern entrance and the new site that prevents followers to be transfered. Sting would give him a strenght 10, which is no bad to remove burdens, and he can protect bilbo if you need to replace his skirmish. |

4 copies of a promise?
-2 a light in his mind, possibly because it will not be so easy to get rid of initiative when you keep taking cards into hand
-2 tom the bomb
or
-1 a light
-2 tom the bomb
-1 hobbit sword or daddy twofoot, as you need him it may be better to drop a hobbit sword merry and pip would have to discard them anyway being picked up |
