Here's a deck I've been working on for the past couple of days. I thought it would be amusing to make a "Game of Thrones" deck, which starts Ned Stark (Boromir), and includes all four of the different Throne artifacts in LOTR TCG. I feel like it's not quite perfect yet, so any advice is appreciated. Here it is:

The FP side is basically a modified Madril deck. Bid low (or 0) because Boromir's resistance ain't much. Faramir helps protect from Enquea, Smeagol is there for cycling and using Something Slimy to get conditions out asap. Theoden mostly just starts so that I can play Throne of the Golden Hall, if I draw it. Only one in there, since it is the Throne least useful to the strategy. Theoden is also there for Simbelmyne, which gets me Gamling pretty quick, so I can start pulling possessions and followers. It would probably make more tactical sense to start Gamling and not even use Theoden, but without two Rohan guys, I can't play Throne of the Golden Hall... and using all four Thrones is part of the deck theme. So, it's either start Theoden and hope for the best, or start Gamling and replace Theoden with a better Rohan guy, and just hope that I draw that other guy so that I can play the throne. Really, that might be the better option, since Throne of the Golden Hall isn't that important to get out. Throne of Minas Tirith is more important, with its possession discarding and token reinforcing.
The Shadow side is a hodgepodge of Nazgul, Sauron, and Gollum. The idea is to get Throne of Isengard out and bother people with Wizards, add a bunch of threats with the Nazgul to play Sauron and Throne of the Dark Lord, and then use Gollum and Fens to rinse and repeat.
