36/36 not big for moria, even though it's Big Moria.
Freeps:
This is mostly a wounding deck with choking. I haven't played it for some time and it seems the freeps could be a bit better. However, they are good as they are to easily survive many shadows and let my shadow do its dirty work.
Shadow:
I wanted to make a moria deck, but those small, weak moria orcs were frustrating, so I decided to use the big ones. It rules. Wounding decks can't handle it very well because my minions have lots of vitality and Goblin Armory to prevent wounds. Minions are very big and get bigger with Moria Axe. The occasional appearance of Cave Troll of Moria just spices things up (especially if it involves a certain hammer). Shadow kicks #$&*@!.

I like the shadow, but I'm a little confused by the Free Peoples. It seems like a "choke" archetype, but the presence of Gil-Galad and Elrond mean that at two sites you are going to bleed major twilight. It seems like either you need to focus on choke or else the opponent will have plenty of twilight to remove to prevent the dagger wounding and escape cancelling.

Are you ever worried that your Ringbearer can have 6 resistance maximum?

Gil-galad should make his way into my first hand. If not, mulligan. If still not, go slow. Elrond sometimes comes at later sites and then depending on the situation I choose to play him or not.
It's not that much of a choke deck, but it can mess with an opponent. It helps a lot, especially if your opponent wants to wait for the right hand and the right chance.

Aye, but that's why there is Sam, SoH. And most, if not all of corruption decks depend a lot on events and conditions (The Ring is Mine, DDotR, It Wants to be Found, Gathering to the Summons, Vision from Afar...) which Legolas, DH messes with.

If you really want to have Gil-Galad, EhK in your starting hand, I strongly recommend slimming down the Deck. With 72 cards, thew chances of getting him aren't that high at all...

I did actually slim the deck to 68 cards, just haven't modified the post. I don't think it needs more than that because it's still Moria as shadow, even though it's Moria biggies.
