I got this sweet open deck and I run a 28-1 score at the moment, and my only loss is from a computer crash. And in all of those games, I did not even get any close to worry about my chances. Either I am the luckiest dude in the format or the deck works. Bonus points? If has no kind of combo or loop. Either way, here it goes:
Ring-bearer: Boromir, Bearer of Council
Ring: The One Ring, The Ring of Doom
Adventure deck:
Neekerbreekers' Bog
Steward's Tomb
Nurn
Westfold Village
Mithlond
Caras Galadhon
The Prancing Pony
Imladris
North Undeep
Free Peoples Draw Deck:
3x Aragorn, Heir to the White City
1x Faramir, Captain of Ithilien
1x Madril, Defender of Osgiliath
1x Watcher at Sarn Ford, Ranger of the North
3x Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad
3x Tom Bombadil, The Master
3x Aragorn's Bow, Ranger's Longbow
2x Faramir's Bow
3x Horn of Boromir
2x Ithilien Blade
4x What Are They?
4x Gondor Bowmen
4x No Stranger to the Shadows
Shadow Draw Deck:
4x Following Uruk
3x Mauhur, Relentless Hunter
4x Ugluk, Ugly Fellow
4x White Hand Guard
3x White Hand Taskmaster
2x Úlairë Enquëa, Lieutenant of Morgul

2x Fury of the Evil Army
2x Tracking the Prize
2x With All Possible Speed
You bid 1 , if you win play first and bring Gorn. If you don't , you get to play gorn on site 2 or you can easily pull him, the deck is very small. This is a little bit of everything kind of deck. Gorn + no stranger to the shadows make sure you travel cheap. Madril + what are they makes sure you get rid of pesky opponents, but it is just a bonus, it's not your main trick. Aragorn's bow, faramir's bow and gondor bowmen let you kill things when you don't have madrils, and Tom Bombadil + Elrond come forward with horn of boromir to deal with things you can't deal otherwise. By switching carefully between adding threats to wound minions in the archery and using those threats to What are they? minons away, this deck is incredibly resilient. After your allies come down, you effectively only ever pay 5 tokens + the region number each time you move.
Bombandil takes your burdens or threats away, and Watcher at Sarn Ford, Ranger of the North helps you against tricky overwhelm situations every once in a while.
The shadow is basic ugluk with a ton of pumps, ships of great drawught against madril and a couple of enqueas. It does not usually kill the opponent but Ugluk is the biggest stopper in any format he is playable. His role is to slow the opponent down by crippling his companions at random moments (site 2 extravaganza or 3 pump hands) and making sure your fellowship will move as planned.
This deck also does not care much about site manipulation, I just let my opponent switch things to his heart's desire. He gets no twilight enough to kill me and whatever can pass through maneuver and archery, The Master can take care of it.
The only time I had a problem with this deck is when I double moved from 5-7 against StDaigano and he underground + balroged me. But I still came through :)

The deck would be even better if you had The One Ring, Ring of Rings. That way your Boromir would be near incorruptible.
