Believe me, I know how hard it can be to squeeze cards in, but I'd try really hard to find a way to get a little
Concerning Hobbits in there. You're adding hefty amount of twilight at times, and Sam and Maggot may end up having to fight more than you'd like. Could be a lifesaver in those cases.
I also understand the downside of losing an exertion if you use
Ease The Burden, but I think it could really save your butt with all the dwellings you're using. Again, if you can find a way....
It looks like it could hold its own even as originally written though, as long as you don't end up with all your Home and Hearths near the bottom of the deck.
One suggestion would be going with Nazzies (as you mentioned) and using plenty of
Third of the Nine Riders and a little
Eighth of the Nine Riders. Then you could drop some of your Traveled Leaders and free up some room on the FP side for potential other cards.
Nazzies cycle REALLY well too, which would help you use Gandalf's discard-to-prevent-those-burdens clause and also ensure you get to the cards you need quickly. If you need/want some pointers with some semi-Forestguls (which would probably be good here), let me know and I'll throw a decklist together.
