isn't uruk regular x-ed anyway...?

Greed over Shotgun Enquea, and I think you can drop both Advance Scout and one copy of Advance regular, your Uruks will be roaming most of the time. And if I wer ket, I'd recommend a Gollum Splash with CbtR and evil-smelling fens.

As for Freeps, you don't really need Gimli, DoE. Add another Mallorn-Trees instead, it's an essential card and you can use it to put it beneath your draw deck. Banner of Elbereth is also a really, really nice card in that Deck to use Glimpse of Fate and and Echo of Luthien over and over again. You could also try a Aragorn, RotN or Faramir, SoD with TLAoEaM as Speedbumps and nice fighters. Border Defenses and Defiance are both weaker than Supporting Fire if you wanna use them. You could also consider adding more cards as this Deck cycles like crazy. I also have one and pair it with Warg-Riders, and I must admit it works pretty well. ;)

With Echo of Luthien and Glimpse of Faith, Banner of Elbereth is awesome.

Uruk Regular was on the X-List when Towers was "Standard" and was taken off of the X-List around the time that Mount Doom was released. Most of the reason Uruk Regular was X-ed was Deep of Helm.

I agree with Witchkingx5 that you should add more cards--the cycling happens with Mallorn-trees and Arwen herself.
I asked about using Gimli, DoE with Echo of Luthien in a previous thread and the consensus was his ability was too costly for the service it provided. Just max out on Mallorn-trees if you're concerned about not drawing them early enough.
I run my Echo of Luthien with a Gandalf, MoW to help lose initiative but with all the discarding you plan to do , I don't see that as an issue.
I see swarm as a real danger for you (splash Gimli and Sam are weak fighters as well as your Ring-bearer. Arwen and Cirdan will take any minion but they can't skirmish for their comrades.

Made some changes


I left gimli in because, as a companion, he doesn't die to nasty cards like grond or saruman's power

Stand Against Darkness x3 is way too many, unless everyone you play against use [Sauron]. 1x SAD would be enough.

Company of archer is better than The Seen And The Unseen.

Uruk Captain is also another fun [Isengard] uruk to use with the [Sauron] ones.

Do you really need Foul Creation and Standing against darkness? Are these minions popular in Movie?

If they aren't playing them then I can put them on the bottom with mallorn trees and their a pump for arwen

I think you could get by with just one copy of Foul Creation and one copy of Stand Against Darkness. For fun, you could even throw in a Curse Their Foul Feet.

As for your lack of Uruk Captain, rubbercarp has them for $.75 each. Two or three would be nice.

As for the shadow, I think you are making a mistake by not running at least two copies of Ithil Stone. Broad-Bladed Sword is nice too.
