ok, before you go on to rip this apart, there are only 4, yes FOUR companions. i know you all dont seem to like that and the strat of this deck is to get it to 3 anyways. this deck works. I got the idea from Bibfortuna25 when we played a tourny way back when only FOTR block existed. he used alot more comps, i just did my own twist to it. Its choke, this works super well in FOTR block, and you can throw stuff from the new sets to make it fun as well.

Frodo, Resolute Hobbit
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings

Sam, Faithful Companion
Aragorn, Heir to the White City
Arwen, Elven Rider

Aragorn's Bow x2
Ranger's Sword x2
Athelas x2
Armor
Bill the Pony x2
Salt from the Shire
Thror's Map
Hobbit Sword (Sting, Bane of the Eight Legs)
Knife of the Galadhrim
Gwemegil
Elven Bow

No Stranger to the Shadows x2
Nine-Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom x2
Gondor's Vengeance x2
Dagger Strike x4
Swordsman of the Northern Kingdom x4

the idea is to bid 7-8, go first, pull aragorn with Prancing Pony, kill frodo off at site nine to make sam the ringbearer and clear away your burdens, then choke all the way to site 9. i like to use Moria or Uruk Swarm to make sure i move through the deck, and i guess if you want you could throw another ranger in there to add another comp. its a super fun deck, and bidding 8 really gets your opponent curious.

You could cut down on skirmish events to add in the condition discarding stuff.

Narrow Escape works too. Always want to make something with Straining Towards Us, Deft in their Movements, Gaffer's Pipe, just make everything go away

...choking is cool.
