Depends on the format, really. Pre-Reflections, I had a pretty effective Stupid Swarm deck. Basically, you use only 1-cost minions, have a fellowship that can cycle real well, then build up 8 minions in your hand and play them all at once. [Isengard] Orcs have a ton of 1-cost minions, so this strategy uses a ton of them, plus Isengard Warrior to help you stop Greenleaf.

This tactic isn't foolproof, as any sort of Ring-bearer support, especially Bounder, can help him survive the swarm. But it can be a nice surprise and catch your opponent off-guard. Plus, even if they do survive the swarm, there's always the odd chance you can use Isengard Tinker to discard a half dozen Orcs to get a bunch of wounds on his fellowship. I retired the deck after Reflections, as it became too difficult to overwhelm some of the ARBs.
All cards do what they say, no more, no less.

Thanks. I have a good decklist for Stupid Swarm in Movie or TS, but here I'm searching for a good decklist in FOTR.

I played a stupid swarm deck as well, combined swarm and regroup wounding could pull it off nicely.

Or maybe Isengard Axe instead of Goblin Runner but it's more on winning skirmishes than swarm ?
