Fellowship Strategy
Bid 2 to go 1st then peel 1 off with Pippin. The main strategy for the Free people's side is to double move to the end. The easy sites to double move on I find are sites 1 -3, 4 -5, and 7-9 with
Still Far Ahead and
A Talent For Not Being Seen cutting the Shadow number drastically then Discarding minions with
Narrow Escape. There are a few tricks in this deck that will get you out of a sticky situation, such as
Make Haste to discard a minion, then on your next turn play use Sam to play Pippin again to remove 2 Burdens, or If your Fellowship is really hurting, use Pippin to heal a companion.
Sneaking! Is a really nice dodge card If you're going up against bigger minions.
Power According to his stature is good against swarm deck or wounded minions. And of course,
Don't Look at Them to kill the lower vitality minions.
Shadow Strategy
Pretty standard Uruk-Hai Shadow. Plop big Uruks down, stop his Fellowship, maybe evem get a couple of kills, anyway.
Saruman's Power blows away conditions,
Grima, Wormtongue strips
Durin III butt naked,
Saruman's Snows prevent's events and special abilities from being played,
Greed kills companions if your opponent goes over the limit,
Brought Back Alive is a pretty nice Suprise for
Merry, Friend to Sam or
Pippin Wearer of Black and Silver,.
Abandoning Reason For Madness is a really good cycling card for either unclogging your hand full of minions, or for searching for more minions. Broad-Bladed protect your Uruks against archery wounds, or wounds before the skirmish phase in general.
