This is a deck I've worked on for about a month, and in its current iteration has a nice win rate of around 80% casually. The basic concept was your standard
Merry's Sword/TMOR/LoI (even errata'd) that works decent but not perfect. However, due to the fact that
Swordthain (the usual choice for this sort of deck) can only use
Merry's sword once per turn, then has to bounce into hand, then you have to recur the sword, and so on and so forth. My goal was to make
Merry's sword reusable, and maybe usable twice a turn.

Horticulturalist in
Movie?" He is the easiest way to fetch Farmer Maggot, who allows him to heal twice. (NOTE: DO NOT use Farmer Maggot without the capability to exhaust
Tower Assassin. I have lost too many games that way early on.) Party guest and
Old Bilbo's Heir bump that number up, and
Escape allows for a double usage. The Gaffer can counter Twilight Nazgûl (who are more popular in PC Movie with the new Vcards) and archery. Oddly enough, you are at your strongest when you have 6 companions on the table: Frodo, Eomer, Merry + sword, Eowyn, Gandalf, and
Hrethel. This allows a single sword swing to disable
Shotgun Enquea, and can deal with increasingly popular
Tower Assassin,
Desert Lord, and
Advance Marauder. Gandalf is in for the tools and the cycling. The healing engine may be the strongest part of the deck, with
Leowyn and the hobbit allies healing like mad.
The shadow is boring old Morcs, however they run
ESF and
Old Villain/Stinker instead of
DaD. This is because an
ESF can pull that
Shotgun Enquea you ditched in the early game, or simply use up those last 1-4 tokens in the pool, not to mention the fact that Gollum is a phenomenal pincushion against archery. Ringwraith
in Twilight is also nice, especially with 2 out late game.
Threats:
Fear/Their Power is in Terror. Thankfully they are not popular.
Heavy Possession
Hate. If the meta shifts that way,
Weapon Store is an easy include, but it would suck.
Hate itself. If your healing engine is not quite up and running, this can be bad.
