Using only two rares, this Moria deck fills the fellowship full of arrows and then swarms the Ring-bearer.
--- end description ---
Shadow (33)
Archer Commander x2
Moria Archer Troop x4
Goblin Marksman x4
Goblin Bowman x4
Goblin Runner x4
Archer of Harad x4
Southron Bowman x4
They Are Coming x3
Host of Thousands x4
Total Price: $11.10
Okay, so it’s got 6 minions in it. Well, the goblins don’t have that much archery stuff, so they could use the extra help.
Basically, the deck is all minions + minion recursion, so you’ll be able to eat up every bit of twilight. Just throw out a bunch of archers and let them shoot people. Archer of Harad makes them pay if they use The Ring of Rings to absorb burdens, and Southron Murderer helps against token decks.
Thoughts?

You MAY want to throw in a Pinned Down or two to REALLY dominate the archery phase, though it’s certainly not necessary. |

Compared to host of thousands and they are coming, foul things is pretty damn useless. I might put in goblin archer, even though his stats are rubbish and he’s really expensive, as it’s is much better at stopping opponent’s archery than pinned down.
Good call with archer of harad, though.

Foul Things is only included because I can’t have Host of Thousands x6.

I understand that, but I think you’d do better having more minions - they are coming is the most effective and useful way of regurgitating orcs, as you don’t need to spend to do it and it stays in play the whole time.

Hmm... well what could I replace it with? Goblin Archer is crappy, I don’t like Pinned Down, and Bitter Hatred is too meta-specific. Should I use 2 more Southron Murderers?

There are some great other splash archery minions, but most of them rather expensive. Orc archer troop is a good one, so are some of the uruks or southrons with directed archery (like uruk crossbowman or southron bowman).
Just a thought - if you had a good uruk-hai contingent using the archers from towers block, you could include hate and anger which is an absolutely amazing card, and would mean your deck could be a bit bigger, and they are coming would be easier to use.

Why not include Desert Lord instead of foul things, for 1 or 2 more twilight, you can have him exert 2 companions. |

These goblins don’t win skirmishes, NBarden.
