Hobbit Hospital, my first go at it. Nazgul pillage and rape me.
The Archer grind wasnt doing so well, but with some swarm elements it has become more effective.

I like your deck. Maybe you could add Melilot Brandybuck to prevent burdens. I also like Boromir, SoD in hobbit decks but I dunno if you want to play pure hobbit or not.
Have you ever faced 'choke' with your shadow? Did it perform well or not?
I think you could also include Ulaire Enquea, LoM as Isildur Bane's will be used quite often vs your wounding deck.

On the Freeps I would definitely play 4 Promises, at least 1 F Pan, if not another Sword too. If you're being hurt by Naz the only way to survive is with more Strength: T&B/Bounder, etc. I'd drop Thror's Map, Hobbit Farmer, and a Hobbit Party Guest.
The Pippen and Sam you are playing are just so-so, imo. There really is no good Pip, so I suppose there's little choice. But uou have 2 Ponys, so go with Sam Son of Hamfast or Sam, Proper Poet.
I don't like Deft either, and if Nazgul are giving you trouble why not Not Feared in Sunlight? Or another A Talent will help consistency and reduce TL faster.
Clockwork is right to recommend Boromir, SoD. And every deck needs Enquea LoM if not Nertea.
For the Shadow, I'd go balls-to-the-walls with Watching Eyes and Bowmen and Hate--4 of each.
Bitter Hatred is OK, but Malice seems iffy. I'd definitely drop from these two to fill out the Watchful Eyes etc.
The minions seem tricky. You have a lot of low cost guys, but mixed with a lot of events. I think the little guys are just going to die. When I played Watchful Eye I played Morgul Hunters and Orc War Bands--big guys who aren't going away willingly. Moria Archer Troop is pricey, but better than those Bowmen.
At any rate, I like 4 Orc Assassin over any Orc Scouts. I actually like the Goblin Runners, and would go with 4 along with They Are Coming x2. Helps alleviate your clog, gets your Runners (or archers) back.
Will it work? I don't know. Try it and tell us!

Don't drop the hobby party guest!! You need 4 of them! I actually played a lot of this kind of decks and I never used A Promise in it (became even 2nd in a regional TOC with in 2002).
You do need 4 path's. And indeed I would add 1 frying pan. Just one Bill the pony will be sufficient, but you do need another A Talent for Not Being Seen. Instead of 3 copies I would use 4 Hobbit Intuition and 4 Hobbit Stealth. And I would add another There and back again. You also need 2 bounders instead of 1. Maybe also add a bilbo to cycle important cards.
Out:
Thror's map, Old Noakes, both Deft in their movements (allthough I like this card very much),

You need thror's map, to make sure you don't run into the Ally discard site...
