I generally find Troll swarm works best with WOTR trolls: Porter Troll, Ordnance Grunt, Beastly Olog-hai, Savage Menace. Mountain-Troll is for Orc Swarms and Ages End Trolls are for threat manipulation. These trolls don't do much damage here compared to the others. You could also potentially run Saruman's Power or even Treachery since you have Grimas.

For the Free Peoples, Thorongil + The Prancing Pony is an easy Dark Horseman counter for otherwise mono-culture Elf or Dwarf decks. Also Gil-Galad, HKotN would be nice for some extra pumps and counters Gollum decks with Hosts of the Last Alliance.

If you do play some more games, let us know how they go! I don't play much anymore, but it's still nice to see people's ideas.

Ooookay? I'll try this maybe later sometimes but I still am a stranger to the Expanded Format. I'll try. :lol:
