Bilbo's Tales

Smeagollum, all I have to say is don't play this deck vs me on GCCG because it uses Galadriel, LR. Otherwise, Elrond, EL looks pretty bad at first, but I've seen a few people use it on GCCG and he is cool when used in a deck with a lot of artifacts.

She's there to be burned!!! First turn SFTF  burns Smeagol to get Gollum, captured by the ring and FWWI. Second SFTF burns Galadriel to get Elrond, Celeborn and Phial of Galadriel or The Council of Elrond. Third SFTF burns Celeborn to get Legolas, Aiglos and The White Arrows of Lorien. Order might depend however on my draws: Actually I want to have a full loaded Legolas asap.

So, you could likewise play with some errata for Lady Redeemed like ditching the Discard ability if she's just here for Saved from the Fire.

I think this version could use different tales than Consorting with Wizard x4. Perhaps The Tale of the Great Ring could be a good one. You don't need 4 Books of Westmarch because you already have the Council of Elrond.

Your shadow lacks a bit of wouding protection. The Balrog allows you to play Fill with Fear which destroys Ranger Bow and Knight Bow. The Cave Troll Chain can be OKAY too. Also, Gollum let you use Final Strike which is nice vs Slaked Thirsts.

Final Strike can't help against Slaked Thirsts. It's an event, not a special ability, but Final Strike is still a great card to have around.

I'm not sure that it's a good idea to put Faramir's Bow when you have only one copy of Faramir.

Also, I'm not sure why you wanted to put Gollum in your shadow.

[Hobbiton Lad]

Gollum can help with swarming actually. His shadow ability adds twilight and use can use evil smelling fens to pull back any minion.

Site 8 play gollum from discard, remove the two burdens to add 2 back. Use fens to grab a host of moria which you then use to grab another minion, for example.
