So I've run this deck up and it does pretty well. I've only had the shadow side lose once and that was to a pretty dedicated archery side. The free side doesn't do as well.

4x Knights Mount
4x Gondor Bow
4x Banner of Westernesse

The strategy is relatively simple, make sure you go second an then, set up some fortifications ASAP at site 3 pull a sixth level and another depending on the deck type your opponent is using (Fourth/fifth level usually work well.) Take out their tanks using Fourth level and Citadel of the Stars/ Stone Tower/ Gondor Bow, then pull the forts back using sixth level. Use Duty of Two/ Hearts Raised for some nice healing after the exertions. Aragorn's text helps heal also.
Shadows a bit better and more fun :). In the beginning set-up your engines and start to take sites using Siege Troop. Towards site 5 I start playing hard. Use your engines to play your trolls for dirt. GHT helps beat back initiative spammers while Abomonation of Sauron stacks minions on sites to allow troop tower to start buffing my orcs. When the regroup phase hits you A) take sites B) trash their set-up ('Grond! Grond! GROND!') C) Stack any remaining minions on your sites. Then use TMC to play them back or just leave them. A really nice loop is TMC, Gorgoroth Troop, Gorgoroth Officer, and some minion pulled off a site. They can easily substitute for a troll esp. with Gorgoroth Pillager on a site. Comments?

Cut the Troll's Chain for Ithil Stone, Gorgoroth Assassin and Gorgoroth Soldier.
For the Free People's, take out a few Knight's Spear, 1 Stone Tower and probably both Strong and Old and put in Banner of Westernesse, another Fourth Level and some Knight's Mount

I agree with TheJord. I would also find room for a Sam, SoH, unless you just plan to concede against corruption decks.
Hearts Raised/Duty of Two is an interesting combo, but I'm not sure if it's effective enough to deserve four card slots. You might want to find healing through other channels.

Ok so I dropped the Hearts Raised, the Duty of Two and all knights spear. In their place I've maxed out the banners, bows, and mounts, also I've added another sixth level.

It doesn't say so on the main post, you still have Knight's Spear, Duty of Two and Hearts Raised. Also, no Banners. When asking for advice about a deck, it's usually easier to edit the main post as you change it, so new readers can see the current configuration of your deck instead of skimming through endless psots cheking to see how the deck evolved so far.

knights are lame.. unless there is the power of sauruman!
