I'll start with the shadow side. First of all, a singleton
Moria Axe in an otherwise huge deck won't EVER show up when you need it. Also, They're Coming is fine as a 2-of, whereas
host of thousands must be a 4-of. I see a lot of people playing Nertea, and I understand, but unless I NEED to fill up deckspace, I never really play him, I just stick with enquea and
taunt then to play the 6th companion so I can off RotN and
Greenleaf, which are both easily splashable and MAJOR issues. Now, from here, you need to decide if you want to play beatdown Moria, (in which case we would ADD Moria Axes instead of removing the singleton and mess around with the minions, trolls, etc) or Swarms (in which case the minions must change a lot).
For the FP, I like where you're going, but without Stealth events you won't get far. Also, you can ditch extra copies of
possessions (and ALL possessions for
Greenleaf, he won't be fighting) for another
Ranger's Sword,
Flaming Brand and
Armor. Then, play Boromir (for Hobbit pumping and to ditch the extra
Flaming Brand should
tou draw it) and Sam (for burden removal), lose
A Wizard is Never Late, a copy or Barliman and both
Strength of Spirit. Add in
Hobbit Stealth (at least, 4 copies, maybe Intuition if you can fit it, and also
Power According to his Stature, 2-3 copies) and
Fireworks, so you can abuse Elrond+
Ottar+
