SITES :
ALL UNDERGROUND SITES!!! The Bridge of Khazad-Dum for the Balrog etc, etc, etc...
Remember the sites are only for the Shadow, Free people must be for resisting to any site.
STRATEGY :
The Fellow must be ready before the 5 site, Gandalf is very important for the strategy of this deck, like G for Grand and Grimbeorn. This is the base of the Deck. These cards should be in the game before you move to 4 site.
G FOR GRAND : Provide +1 Strength. Total +4 (for all companions!!)
The companions must be 6 or more resistance.
GANDALF: REGION 1: +2 (except Gandalf) REGION 2: +1 (for all)
REGION 3: +2 (only for Gandalf)
BRAND: +1 for all companions (except Gandalf, Bilbo and Brand)
BILBO: Only must survive. And never add 2 Burdens, add 3 twilight if the twilight pool has 2 or fewer.
ONE RING – Ring of Doom: The best ring of all, it’s similar to Answer to All Riddles but Ring of Doom can add +3 of strength to The Ringbearer.
Dain Ironfoot: Reduce the cost -1 of your characters, dwarves and men of Gandalf Culture. And you can discard minions in reagrup discarding your Conditions from play. Two excellent abilities.
Grimbeorn: Amazing! With the conditions and abilities can be 11(in R1) 10 (in R2) And 9 (in R3) of strength, exert twice and discard the Balrog from hand and add +17 of Strength to Grimbeorn. Total: 26 of strength more the events! Don’t Forgive Heal Grimbeorn at the Start of each Turn!!
Gloin: Make draw 3 cards each time he wins a skirmish, very good.
Erland: Return your skirmish events from your discard pile (Flame of Arnor & The Terror His Coming). Remember than this deck has a few events.
Flame of Arnor: Very good events like Servants of Secret Fire, only you must spot 3 G culture Companions. Even you can save Bilbo.
Glamdring: Win and remove a burden, simply.
Sting: Exert Bilbo to make a companion resistance +2. You Don’t Forgive than G for Grand it`s only for companions of 6 o more Resistance!!
Axe of Khazad Dum: Only +2 of strength..
Dwarven Bracers: +1 strength and prevent wounds.
Ring of Fury : The fellowship don’t have damage bonus, this is a problem for the movement of the fellow and for the fierce skirmish, Damage +2 and strength +1 it’s good. ( This ring is for Dain )
Ring of Guile: +1 and Damage +1.
Shadowfax: + 2 of Resistance, and prevents wound to Gandlaf, Gandalf Can’t DIE!!.
Pallando: The bearer of pallando must be Gandalf or Grimbeorn. Discard a Shadow Condition for a turn it’s very fun. =). Even two conditions against Fierce Shadows!
Wait and Wait: Each time bearer wins a skirmish you may remove a Burden!!. This deck works with the resistance of companions. Wait and Wait is very important against Add Burden Decks.
The Terror of His Coming: Make a Companion ( G Culture ) strength +2. And you can take a condition (G Culture) from your discard pile into hand, it’s perfect to return your G for Grand or Watch and wait discarded to Shadow players. But only in Dwelling or Battleground Site, you have only 1 site Battleground (The Bridge of Khazad Dum), you must play this site to play the balrog or this event to return a condition, remember than Erland can return this event from your discard pile.
Gandalf’s Staff – Ash Staff: +1 Vitality for Gandalf. Gain Muster and each time Gandalf wins a skirmish, shadow player must wound a minion. You must know the exactly moment to use this ability, sometimes one wound can determinate to move or to stay the fellowship. Also make Gandalf 5 of vitality, Gandalf can’t DIE!!! (he is too much important)
THE SHADOW:
The shadow is easy to play, Goblin Hordes make the work, and all the sites must be Underground. With Unforgiving Depths change the fellowship sites (for your Underground Sites) to control the game with Goblin Hordes and to play your orcs (swarm) and the Cave Troll.
Orkish Smith returns your discarded conditions into play (Goblin Hordes, Spurred to Battle & Unforgiving Depths). Only are two, but you can play with the Goblin Hordes.
The Balrog has two functions: fight (and kill) and to be discarded by Grimbeorn.
Gollum take the archery wounds and with his ability even can fight ( now the ringbearers are very strong, better for Gollum!)
Frenzied Orc is very good against fellowship of many companions, each character skirmishing with orc culture minion is -2 of strength.
Cave Troll of Moria has Toil 2 use it when you have many orcs on play to swarm.
Unforgiving Depths: if you can spot 3 underground sites each orc gain Muster, good against fellowship players move quickly. Also Replace sites with your underground sites. Don’t think, just use it.
Spurred to Battle: to play exert an orc culture minion. At the start of the shadow phase, add 1. Even you can add 4 twilight token (if 4 conditions are in play).Excellent!
Remember Goblin Hordes say: “when the fellow moves FROM an underground site, you can take a minion (orc culture) from your discard pile into hand”. You understand me.
I am expect that you like and enjoy this deck. 
Bye
Juan Pablo. The White Wizard. |

I dont have the time to read it now, but I just wanted to say that you should add comas between the name and the text below the name. Intead of a "-", so we can have a link to the cards.  |
Some of the best scenarios on EE...

Why Bilbo, Bearer of Things Burgled?? Since you have no Shire tales in your deck, it doesn’t make any sense... He doesn’t do you any good, and if you happen to choke the pool you have to pay the cost. Heck, any Frodo RB would be better, just because of his higher resistance. Am I missing something here? The only thing I can think of is that it’s cooler with a foil RB...
Since this post really belongs in the Deck Clinic forum, I’m not going to rate it  |

| I believe you are missing the point that he wrote about in the description: that he was making a deck based on "The Hobbit" in which Bilbo is the main character. Hence, he uses the Bilbo Ringbearer. It might not have anything to do with strategy but it makes perfect sense to the deck. I really thought the article was creative. And I love the Hobbit! |

YeeeS "There and Back Again" Like the story writed by Bilbo Bagins (not Frodo Bagins!!!)
And the tales are not necessary!
This Deck can be better easly, the most don’t understand The Idea of this Deck..
But the idea (my idea) is the best.
