Well, I thought of building a Deck with the very powerful card
Bill Ferny, Agent of Saruman, meaningly using his ability to assign him to the Ring-Bearer and then just overwhelm him!
Shadow (32):
4x
Bill Ferny, AoS4x
Courageous Easterling4x
Bold Easterling4x
Easterling Scout4x
Mumak Commander, Giant Among the Swertings4x
Rapt Hillman4x
Chieftain of Dunland4x
Wandering HillmanI know, this Deck seems a little Strange but it actually IS strong (and btw, also very expensive). Let me explain the strategy:
Drop Ferny as fast as possible and assign him to the Ring-Bearer if it's frodo, you won't have many problems with him. Now, let's say it's Frodo, you just play Courageous, Bold or Scout to play Ferny again every turn and assign him
Exact Strategy for Dummies:
Drop Ferny in the first/second move, same for
CoD. Keep
Rapt Hillman and
Wandering Hillman in ypur hand.
After Ferny and
CoD are in the discard pile, play some Easterlings and some Site-Control-Men, discard the Easterlings to play Ferny and
CoD, push Ferny with
CoD and assign Ferny to the Ring-Bearer. Overwhelm the Ring-Bearer.
GATS is here to destroy the oppopent's defence, he can also be "revived" with the Easterlings.
Repeat the strategy above again and again..
But there are three problems.
1. Frodo gets a Bonus from his ring or another weapon
2. Frodo can't be overwhelmed so simply
3. There can also be
Faramir, BoQWell, cus' of the first and second problem, which will appear mostly, there's a plan B:
Use Rapt and
Wandering Hillman to take control of a site and then drop
Chieftain of Dunland. Pump Ferny with
CoD and overwhelm the Ring-Bearer, pretty simple, uh?
As for the third problem, there is no problem! Every time you assign Ferny to skirmish
Faramir, BoQ, you're opponent either has to add masses of Burdens or masses of Threats every turn, which can really hurt, especially with
Wandering Hillman. And once you've killed anybody else, tons of Threats will trigger...
Well, that was it! Play Ferny every turn, assign, fight, fight and fight until the Ring-Bearer is dead.
