Free Peoples Strategy
Bid 2-3 to go first (don't worry about the burdens, Gandalf's Pipe rocks) play Green Dragon Inn*, right away that kills all The Prancing Pony decks. Cycle and choke like crazy, use Greenleaf and Aragorn's Bow then heal next turn with Frodo's Pipe, recycle the pipeweeds with Fireworks, also helps you shuffle more minions into your deck via Goblin Sneak, play Bill The Pony right away then send him back to your deck if necessary with Fireworks. Frodo, Son Of Drogo to move the wounds around

Shadow Strategy
Play your minions, use Guard Commander to get minions on Goblin Swarms, They Are Coming to cycle and get minions back, all the minions that don't make it to Goblin Swarms you can keep putting back in deck with They Are Coming + Goblin Sneak + Fireworks, the Orc Ambusher x3 is there in case they get to site nine so you can play them with Tol Brandir.

Hmm...I think I'm a little more fond of the build that starts Gimli, Dwarf of the Mountain Race and Legolas , Greenleaf.

Gimli's Pipe can be great and I find the deck a little more fun in general.

You need to pimp Aragorn. Armor, and definately Flaming Brand. No matter how hard you try to choke, a Balrog site 5 can always happen. In my pipeweed deck I have Betrayel of Isengard, which ruins every Uruk deck...

Where is Relics of Moria? It is one of the best card.
