This deck is easily converted into a standard deck, but Stinker and Sting are good to me. It is a bit nasty with the Daddy Twofoot / No Visitors combination. But the shadow makes up for that! It is a hard to pull combination, other then that it is also killing! That is how I like my decks. If you pull it of it is a sweet win. Just get a SoO on a character, preferably a strong one, and make sure that character doesn't get assigned. BNaP and Enquea add 3 burdens that way and the Shelob/Gollum combo add at least 2 burdens. Need I say more? Don't think so.

What about against all-RB fellowships? Isn't SoO crippled then? Are there other cards in the deck to stop RB fellos from strength pumps and such? :D

How about your fellowship though--have you playtested it before? I tried Hobbit Followers and all RB companions--got slaughtered often. I think it won only once. The lack of consistent strength pumps that don't add burdens (aside from A Promise and the swords) ended up getting Frodo overwhelmed. :(

What?!!! Are you out of your mind? I think hobbits are almost the strongest fellowship around. They have almost everything. Healing with Fates Entwined, strength pumps, cancel abilities, the possiblity to retrive key events. Yeah ofcourse, they can be hurt too, with massive, but I mean massive archery, with follower hate, but that is something that every deck has, as the germans say it: an ängstgegner. An opponent that always hurts. You just hope you don't run into it.

Ya, ring-bound hobbits, IF DONE RIGHT, are killer. Problem is getting it right.
