It looks a little strange, but I'll try to explain.
Pretty much, you bid to go second and play dwelling sites when you need to. At dwelling sites you can use Frodo's effect and Incognito to survive most things. The deck has several strategies to survive when you have tons of minions assigned to Bilbo- such as switching the skirmish to frodo than canceling, or removing tons of tokens from Sudden Fury and using Bounders effect..... You use GoaGA to help you move on, and HaH helps with burden removal. Obviously its a massive deck, so you use Master Proudfoot and The Phial of Galadriel as much as possible, as will as pairing it with something that cycles like crazy. I'm working on a corsair deck that uses Ships of Great Draught and Under Foot, which I'll hopefully post at a later date. This deck gets killed by anduin confluence, Saruman's Power, and other cards, which is why its posted as a "Fun Deck".
Thanks again!

cool, it seems like it WOULD be a fun deck. a lot of tricks and strategies. my biggest suggestion would be slimming the deck down. try removing 5 cards. that should help the deck play better.

Thanks Macheteman! I'm hoping to get a lot of cycling from my shadow side, which is why I've left it at 38 cards. Here's the shadow side...
Shadow: 38
ºCastamir of Umbar x3
Corsair Marauder x4
Corsair Ruffian x2
Corsair Brute x2
Corsair Boatswain x3
Corsair Plunderer x4
Ships of Great Draught x3
Black Sails of Umbar x2
Corsair War Galley x3
Corsair Ballista x2
Raider Halberd x2
ºUnder Foot x2
ºHaradwaith
Wind That Sped Ships x3

Red Wrath
This deck has two purposes:
1) Cycle
2) Prevent your opponent from moving on.
It can also swarm, as I learned when I tested it against Imrahil.
Cycling is done by Under foot, Ships of Great Draught, and Corsair Plunderer. If your opponent moves on, you discard War Galley for plenty of twilight, then stack some insane combo on the top of your draw deck with SoGD.
Thanks! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
