Strategy - Bid 3-4 and go first to pull Sam. Mulligan if you don't have any Intuitions or Stealths in your opening hand. This deck is very good at limiting twilight and is quite durable up through site 5 and even beyond, assuming you aren't facing swarms. You can make seemingly risky doubles to 5 and use Depart Silently/Gandalf's Staff to survive crazy numbers of minions/fierce.
Biggest weaknesses are swarms, Grind and Saruman's Power.
The shadow is pretty much just standard Sauron Grind. Biggest issues are massive healing (pipeweed decks) as well as mass condition removal.
This is a really fun deck to play. With 65 games played and a 67.7% win rate since the transfer to the PC server, it is pretty solid overall.

Thank you for the deck. I played it. I made mistakes but got a shadow win at site 8 despite losing Gandalf to the Balrog. I had to win at site 8 or my Frodo was all alone and toast next turn. I faced the twilight reducing Gimli and Gloin and tales and Moria archers with the corruption cards Lost to the Goblins, Goblin Spear and Must do without Hope. I got rid of his Bilbo to save my conditions. I like the stubbornness of the freeps. Any ideas for having a better chance against swarms? I think Moria swarm is popular.
-thank you
