Basic swarm, except that Saruman with
Throne of Isengard helps make the swarm have more strength per minion as well. Use
Sunland Scout to discard Freeps conditions, and
Last Days to unleash a surprise on them when they kill off/discard your minions.
GATS would be nice here, but it wouldn't help the swarm any, so he's not here.
Rapid Reload is there to do more or less the same thing he does.
Use
Pavise on Mouth of Sauron, Saruman or
Sunland Guard to trigger all their nasty effects. Grab lots of possessions. Saruman can draw them from the discard pile, so make sure not to stack all your possessions on
Countless Companies.
Use a Freeps side that's good at filtering through the deck so that you have all the swarm ingredients in place. Sauron is there to knock a few strong Freeps people off if they're getting haughty. This deck is fairly vulnerable to direct wounding and archery,
Ceremonial Armor can prevent some of that, but my suggestion would simply be to use
Pavise and discard the vulnerable guys in Manuever if you really need.
What do you guys think?
