Strategy:
Bid 2 to go first. If you lose, just play Dammed Gate-Stream at the first opportunity. Mulligan for AWINL or Gandalf, Returned. Use it to pull Something Slimy, which pulls New Chapter. IF you have Something Slimy in hand, instead pull Follow Smeagol, or whatever you deem most necessary with your hand. Use Gamling to pull Erkenbrand's Horn, then use it in conjunction with New Chapter to play every follower. After than, if you were lucky enough to get Gandalf and SFTF in your first hand, burn Aldred to grab three  cards. DO NOT GO OVER 6 COMPANIONS WITHOUT MERRY'S SWORD. Otherwise you could lose a key companion. After that, make sure to get Falls of Rauros in place sometime in region 2 so you can play a tenth companion. Apart from that, the deck is self-explanatory. You can wound, win by strength, toss conditions, toss possessions, and play sites with a fair amount of ease. The shadow is a pretty standard Corsair build, with the addition Gollum, PD and his searching tools to fetch the best minions. Grima, CC can hurt multicultural freeps and Wormtongue is good against followers and dwarves. Saruman's power is an important silver bullet against Hobbits and Gandalf, and Demon of Might can really hurt at an underground site.
