yep....saved from the fire, it is not too difficult. Try 4 scouring of the shire, 4 shadowplay, 4 unheeded and 4 saved from the fire. You must hit something in the first hand, oh and since you need gandalf, you can add 4 travelled leader.
How many ways do you need to get around Mordor Fiend? haha

Me too, allthough it is fun to have an open deck lying around. Make sure it is deadly enough though. But than you have to wonder what you're going to do. Can you make a competitive open deck when you design your deck in a way just to beat a possible deck. Hmmm...

Curse Them doesn't work, can't cancel RB's skirmish.

And...this is why I now pack Great Peril of Fire in my Fiend decks.

 For way 2, why don't you just have 8 in your Starting Fellowship and pull Aragorn, heir to Elendil with The Prancing Pony?

That's sad.  You think people would branch out and test new ideas... but I guess that is what the casual format is for

Everyone plays to win, I mean, even when it is not the top priority, no-one likes to loose constantly. So if you have a format where you can use everything, you use something that has proved to be nasty..Mordor Fiend has.

I guess that's why I lose so often
