3x Orc Artisan (12R91)
2x Goblin Aggressor (12C87)
Starting fellowship
Frodo
Denethor
Aragorn
Strategy
The fellowship defends Osgiliath on horse backs with blades and spears. Building a strong Boromir helps to
both injure the enemy and to heal Gondor companions. Aragon and Denethor can take on big minions and have
Boromir heal them. The Rangers will decide where battles will take place enabling the fellowship to avoid
the enemy territory. Also this may help the shadow side replacing none underground sites with undergrounds.
A nice trick is the knight’s Spear/Nine Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom combo. Also
I enjoy playing Great Heart decreasing a hobit’s vitality to wound a big 1 vitality minion.
Mordor Aggressor equiped with Spear raises the strength of the entire shadow side. A powerfull combo is to play
Orc Artisan, Scavenging Goblins and Mordor Aggressor (MA). This way you get 16-strength MA with a spear for only 2
twilight tokens. And can you equip another MA at the same time you have a frightening shadow side. A nice trick is to
recycle Isengard Underling and keep trying to discard the opponents conditions with dread and dispear. |

I think you should try to focus this deck quite a bit more. I'm sorry to say it, but this looks like a pile of Gondor cards and a pile of Orc cards picked at random from a bag.
Also, you're aware you have 10 companions in here? And why don't you start Merry with Denethor and Aragorn as well?
Try to think of a theme you wish to follow, and I'll try to help you out from there  |

agreed, I look at a culture and see what they do that really packs a punch. I then take all the cards that center around a idea and look for card combos. Then I eliminate the excess. I stick to one theme.
In my opinion, I would lose the Dead man of Donharrow and Merry, and build a stong knight deck. Knights are awesome and will get better with bloodlines  |

Yeah, Knights rock! I can't wait to include the new Elendil in my Knight deck! |
