The free peoples is fairly simple. The shadow's strategy is to use weary or Desert Lord to get a few exertions on someone, then Saruman, SotE assigns a tracker to that companion. Put in Rest While you Can, and you can do some damage. You can get killed by archery, which is why Spies of Saruman is in there.

hmm, neat. i'd probable take out the rest while you cans and drop in a pair of many riddles. basically, it still is a condition on the companions, but also allows another way to assign trackers to the companions. and, bonus is a strength -1.

I stopped playing gondor wraith's for reason, which were my most beloved comps. over the years.
You are soooo dead, when you face archery minions and your wraiths are invulnerable. yeah, archery nine for Frodo Powers! here it goes.  :o  :mrgreen:

Don't keep them all exhausted! ;) You'd be in a rough boat facing the same if all your companions were exhausted, regardless of whether they were wraiths or not.

and I see little to no use for just 1 Drawing his Eye. I like the card, but it does little to nothing I guess with just 1 copy.

Gondor Wraiths do have a problem with archery- I've had to face the site that makes the minion archery total +2 for each companion over four in every game I've played with it so far. Might of Numenor helps a LOT. I also have some other healing- Hard Choice, Banner of Westernesse, and Aragorn. I've been able to survive, but barely, and it takes a lot of thinking ahead of time. Drawing his Eye complements Rest While You Can pretty well, but there wasn't much reason for putting it in.

The thing is, with my gondor wraiths deck, I usually start Aragorn.

Isildur is way better in a Wraith deck. If he has to fight, he is able to help your companions by exerting them.

I'm using Frodo for NfFatRoD. I'm thinking of trading for Pallando as well.
