the idea of this deck is pretty common:
start with isildur+faramir+gandy. bid 1 and try to start to pic the ranger of westernesse. he helps you to get your own site 2 which is absolutely important, because normaly you give up to 30+ TW.  burn the ranger as fast as possible to get the cards you need, e.g. gorn+anduril+ithilien blade. depending on your opponents shadow burn faramir and or gandalf with SftS no. 2 and 3. after the fellowship seted up (mostly site 3-5), you should be strong enough to beat nearly every shadow.
i'm playing this deck at gccg for more then 30 games and it was only beaten 2-3 times.

finally a few words to the "not posted shadow". i normally pair my SftS Gondor with Enquea Corruption, but it works with many others as well as it does with this on. the pro is that you don't need any specific site-key words like battlegound e.g. actually every shadow that stops your opponent is fine.


what do you think, fellas? 

any suggestions are welcome! :-)

[legolas3333]

well i can't say anything against this deck cause you kill me every single time i play you

[DáinIronfoot]

Seems like long odds that you manage to get a Ranger of Westernesse from the get-go. Why not toss in another copy or two? If you draw the others later, just burn them too!

Also, I assume you're eventually burning Gandalf himself to pull Gandalf Returned, Sent Back, and whatever other card you need, yes?

[Gil-Estel]

he's a ranger, thus Prancing Pony would fix it...

That is an excellent thought, long as you can afford the burdens to go first.

[Gil-Estel]

That stinking Mearas horse will do the trick burdenwise....nasty creature

[King89]

yes and yes.

start with the pony and burn gandalf as well - i like it

i'm only playing one copy because of the rule of 9...
