Title: Loyal Boromir and Raider Shrine Wounding =)
Post by: Mager on May 16, 2010, 08:37:32 AM
I attempt to make this a powerful, yet simple deck.

Here is the deck list:
1   The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry
1   Boromir, Son of Denethor
1   Frodo, Resolute Hobbit
1   Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver
Free: (33)

1   Faramir's Bow
4   Faramir, Son of Denethor
1   Thror's Map
1   Mithril-coat
2   Hobbit Sword
1   Tom Bombadil, The Master
4   Man the Walls
1   Blade of Gondor
2   Sword of Gondor
2   Coat of Mail
2   Athelas
2   Light Shining Faintly
3   Sam, Proper Poet
1   Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad
2   Hobbit Stealth
2   Dagger Strike


Shadow:(33)
3   Southron Bowman
2   Haradrim Marksman
2   Desert Lord
3   Southron Intruder
2   Southron Fanatic
3   Red Wrath
1   Suzerain of Harad
3   Flanking Attack
3   Trample
1   Southron Wanderer
3   Mumak
4   Mumak Chieftain
3   Whirling Strike


Sites:
1   Sleeping Quarters
1   Minas Tirith Sixth Circle
1   Rohirrim Camp
1   Hall of the Kings
1   Pelennor Plain
1   Steward's Tomb
1   Ruined Capitol
1   Cross Roads
1   Dagorlad

Interpretation:
Firstly, for the Free people side, there are a total of 3 tricks to tackle your opponent's shadow.
(1) Skimish Cancelling with Tom and Hobbit Stealth. Bid (2) at the start so that you can pull tom once u draw him.
      Assign big minions to Sam, or Frodo to cancel the skirmishes. If your opponent tries to swarm you, then you
      can make Sam defender +1 to handle them. Light Shinning Faintly is used to heal Sam when he exerts too
      much.

(2) Direct Wounding with Faramir and Pippin. Man the walls grant a total of +4 site number to minions skirmishing
      Faramir. Return Pippin to hand to wound a roaming minion twice skimishing Faramir. Equip Faramir with his
      bow so that he can exert to deliver the final blow.

(3) Boromir acts as a tank to absorb extra damage, equip him with the armour and sword and he will swear to
      fight bravely on your side.

The Shadow is just a normal wounding deck of Raiders.
Please give me comments, as this is one of my first decks and i am new to the game.

You have too many big cost minions.  You need something cheaper (or ambush) or you will never get to use Red Wrath or Whirling Strike.

Hobbit Stealth isn't cancelling skirmishes with ROTK sites. It only works with FOTR Block sites.

Because you use Sam, I would suggest to to add A Promise.

The Tale of the Great Ring is also a very good card.
