The deck seems heavy at 37/37, with some of the cards appearing unnecessary.
Grond, Hammer of the Underworld will be a problem for the Free Peoples player as will your own Shadow side [Ninja Gollum paralyzing Gimli or Aragorn would be devastating]. A patient Dunland player with a quick Hides set up will be able to circumvent your Free Peoples. A little more help, like Faramir, Son of Denethor, Phial of Galadriel, Star-Glass, or even Anduril, King's Blade might be ideal.
Grima, Wormtongue will instantly defeat you unless you have Slaked Thirsts in play. Be careful about how you set up your Gimli.
What's the point of Athelas, particularly since you are carrying Vilya and Secret Sentinels? I'd rather see a third Preparations or Elrond, Herald to Gil-Galad.
On the Shadow side, I'm a fan of diversity with Gollum. A copy of Gollum, Old Villain and a copy of Gollum, Vile Creature offers some meta-gaming. Even a Gollum, Stinker as your fourth could end up doing some damage and setting up for Shotgun Enquea. If you switch to the Dimholt, it might be worth getting a few copies of Slippery As Fishes in there. I like You're a Liar and a Thief over Goblin Runner, but that's just a personal opinion. An Unabated in Malice can go a long way, particularly against a multicultural deck like yours.
Thanks for posting. It's been a while since I've reviewed a deck on here. Cheers,
