9 Summit of Amon Hen (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr01362)
Tactics are simple. Just run towards Mordor, adding as few as possible Twilight. So whenever an opponent plays minions, frodo could be saved by Merry, Pippin and Sam, discarding them, and next turn make them come back into play for free (except Sam) because of the hobbit farmer and green hill country.
Treebeard is a great addition to the team because of the stacking ability. Making him return merry and pippin several times.

I saw something similar in action recently, a friend played a system in a ts game, which worked for the most part. However, how would you go about discarding sam here? He's ring-bound, after all...
Otherwise, I love the twilight limiting, seems to fit well with these cards, particularly hobbit farmer.

I'm assuming this is Pre-Shadows Multipath?

Welcome to the site, rydhus.
I'm assuming this is Pre-Shadows Multipath?
It didn't exist until recently, so it can't be.

Thanks, had much fun back in the days.
Had 3/4 of those cards in foil, and sold it for loads of money back in the days.
Now i've reconstructed it.
Haven't been playing for a long while.
Not even know what the Multipath rules mean.
I can't recall that Sam was ALWAYS Ring-Bound. Perhaps i just forgot.
Any ideas on how Sam would work better? Or a way to discard him?
Since it is just for fun, i found this sam (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr07326) for burden removal (Pippin)
And i was thinking about using Frodo (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr15144). Kinda nice if you could use mithril-coat (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr02105) and Sting (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr01313) at the same time. ( Frodo = 3 + 2 + 2 from sting (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr01313) +2 from the ring (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr04001)).
Ill read into this Multipath rules :)
-
Sam is always ring bound, even if the fellowship block versions don't specifically say it. It's somewhere in the TTT Starter deck rulebook. Sadly I don't know of any way to discard him. At all, actually. Not even a Southron Commander can do it.

Caradhras Has Not Forgiven Us.

Proper Poet is used mainly as a sac, when you're out of other cannon fodder. You can use the defender +1 to take a few minions away from the others.
If you put in A Promise, perhaps frodo and sam can have a better chance at surviving skirmishes until that point. Just an idea.
(note: a promise is in mines of moria, so this is assuming you play casually enough to include fellowship block cards.)
-
And if you don't want to be pure fellowship and go the Movie block route, Make Haste can help you getting Sam out of the way. If your deck really chokes, it also helps getting rid of minions...

@Zurcamos Thanks. As I said before, haven't been playing for a long while. But it's nice to see so many players still active!
@TheNinthPlayer. Thanks, A Promise (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr02112) seems pretty good in this. Ill be boosting my frodo even more.
@neopium Make Haste (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr10109) is pretty awesome. If i get the chance to discard a minion, i do not have the need to discard sam. I'll test it out, if i choke enough.
Still trying to figure out how to discard sam in the skirmish phase. (and still trying to collect more foils :P)
Thanks for the tips and info

I removed 2 Warmed up a bit (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr04322) for Make haste (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr10109). Since it is a fun deck ( I only play with others vs. my other decks and against one other friend atm.) I also use Sam, needer of vittles (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr07326) and Frodo, Weary from the journey (http://lotrtcgwiki.com/wiki/lotr15144).
