So I didn't have time to make a shadow side, but wanted to play test it, so I pairedc it with a variation of the initiative southrons that I had posted on CC. I am fully aware this was not an ideal match, but that is what I had sitting around. My opponent used
noble leaders with 2 site dundland. I went first played barbinzar got
Gimli's battle axe, but did not draw
make haste. This could have been an issue as I had to fight 2 minions at site 2. I thought Pippin was toast, but he assigned the 2nd to the ring-bearer.
PAtHS FTW! I actually ran 2
daddy twofoot, and 2
Birthday Present. I got both of those out turn 2 and continually used
PAtHS to kill what got through
Make Haste. I got some lucky draws with
Red Wrath and
Whirling Strike and killed Aragorn at site 3 and Faramir at 4. This allowed me to stay ahead as he could no longer double, and also clogged his hand more as there cards were no longer usable. I ran out of cards at site 7, so I had to double to nine and thanks to my addition of
Thrarin, dwarven smith, and more
PAtHS recursion, I was able to accomplish.
Edited original post to show what I used.
