This is a neat deck I've been working on for a few months. It is currently at the strongest it's ever been at, but it probably could get better. This is actually a far-removed iteration from the last one I had in another post.

Saruman, Servant of SauronUse
Simbelmyne,
Last Days of my House,
Something Slimy, and
Deagol to get important stuff out fast. Abuse
Home and Hearth for burden removal,
Ecglaf and
Weapon Store will make sure
Merry's Sword stays on the table. If possible, get
Aragorn's Bow, RL on him fast and abuse it with ELK. If you're ever at a dwelling, a few
Home and Hearth help with that. Use
Dispatched with haste in conjunction with your various possession recursion tools to cream corsairs. Hama can help with that too, and is key against Evil Man Possessions.
The shadow is a new and improved version of an Evil Man archery deck that uses Gollum and
Sudden Strike to make kills easier. Enquea is in there for easy direct wounds, with
the Great Ring being popular, people often use it to convert archery wounds to burdens. Mouth of Sauron comes out to play a lot more often, making
Rapid Reload perpetually a problem. Toldea can help handle Gandalf with
TGAT, and Nelya can swap your sites. Gothmog is three cheap archery, and the
Captured by the Ring add threats to capitalize on.
Things to potentially add:
Lemenya, ET and
Cantea, FTW. These two could toss possessions and add threats for when a companion gets killed.
Shelob? This could help zero in on companions for a kill, or just deny a
Grimbeorn.
Gothmog, ML could make her a monster as well.
More burden removal options for the freeps. Early on a corruption deck can do some damage, and even with the 12 resistance Frodo, it can be tough. Plus recurring
Merry's sword constantly is a pain.
Anduril over Bow? The bow is working ok. Might drop it for the OG bow or
Anduril FOTW.
