Hi,
my first review of a deck at this forum. Choke and Moria are two of my favourite halves but I haven't tried to combine them. Anyway, here are some thoughts:
First I guess you use
Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir with the purpose to heal
The Gaffer, Sam's Father. I would consider switching your current Frodo to
Frodo, Reluctant Adventurer so you will play
Sting,
O Elbereth! Gilthoniel! for free. With just one Gaffer and a 37-37 deck it's a small chance to draw him early and get to use Old Bilbo's Heirs ability. If you switch Frodo I would ditch Filibert since you cannot afford the double exertion anyway (because of
A Promise). Your beefed up Aragorn should be able to deal with fierce minions and with a strength of 8-16 + pumps this would not be a problem.
Second you need to bid high to pull
Aragorn, Heir to the White City with
The Prancing Pony.
Sam, Son of Hamfast will get rid of 3 burdens before your first sanctuary. Then you need to keep his vitality up for your Promises but can get rid of more burdens in a pinch. If you keep your first Sam I would include a second
Bill the Pony since he will be discarded at the first underground site (usually site 4, otherwise at the Bridge). If you use one Bill then I guess you plan to pull him at site 6.
Maybe you should let go of
Asfaloth since he like Bill will be discarded at a underground site.
Gwemegil is great though for it's cycling ability.
Since you play a lot of possessions I would swap
Breeland Forest for
Trollshaw Forest so you will be able to increase you card draw.
Breeland Forest don't help you Moria - it's much more useful for Nazguls. And it hampers your
Hobbit Stealth as well.
The Moria side looks great. I have limited experience with the
Goblin Sneak so I would swap them and 2 Goblin Flanker for at least 2
They are Coming (for cycling and pulling), a
Troll's Keyward and 1-2
Host of Thousands.
Try to trim your deck to 34 or 35 per side to make it run smoother. I think this deck will be a lot of fun to play. Good luck!
