You surely want to start bid 1 or 2 to get eastemnet gullies and pop Lego. Then give everyone a bow and a sword and win skirmishes with plenty of events. It has a good condition removal engine, Company of Archers and vilya would get the job done. I use company instead of secret sentinels to avoid over exerting elrond and have some nice healing in regroup.
 It also heals pretty good with archer of Mirkwood winning skirmishes, elrond, that is no orc horn and another elf every turn with galadriel.
Corruption may be a problem since sam is the only protection, i could add the phial but don't know what to remove.
It can cycle pretty good using swords ands Nenya

perhaps using Thonnas, Naith Captain may be a good idea but i only see him instead of Penghedel

On the shadow side, the goal is to capture a plain site to use Wolf-voices. I think its not very difficult for a warg rider to reach regroup with good vitality, even if the skirmishes were lost.
 My only idea to improve the shadow side may be adding saruman's power but again, cant find anything to change

I hope you could give me advice and surely i will take care this thread more than my one in movie, i have way more faith in this deck

Both work well in Towers I guess, especially the Naith Elves, since they can't run into Corsairs. Dunland is a threat though. Maybe cut a Wolf-voices to add a scimitar, especially when you get some sites, you will like the extra pool for your minions, since the wargs don't come cheap.

I'm thinking Defiance (1C37) would be a much better choice than Flashing Steel as it requires no exertion and has a nice bonus against Nazgul who are quite tough in TS.

Also, how often does Wolves of Isengard get to work. I managed to pull it off only once and it was too late in the game to be of any considerable effect. When I play Warg-riders, my weapon is Foul Horde on Sharku's Warg with Isengard Axe and Wolf Voices in hand. Also, a copy or 2 of Saruman, Servant of the Eye can work wonders to kill of key companions.

What I'm saying is to at least one more copy of Sharku's Warg and at least one more copy of Sharku. His text is great in TS because there are no ARB's and if your opponent isn't playing hobbits-only deck, he gets an exertion. And if he is playing a hobbits-only deck, he's screwed in any case. It's simply beautiful to watch your Foul Horde ripping companions apart and they are helpless against it.

maybe change hobbit sword to a sting that's towers legal.  just for the little bonus it gives you.

[SomeRandomDude]

Oh my gosh, I haven't seen the Naith in like.....forever!

I will refrain from commenting, as most of my ideas are Movie Block, not towers.

[plnp123]

Well Haszor Sting is in the x-list so is a no go

hrscho, it may be a difficult trick tu pull out. I think the deck right now wins a good number of skirmishes in Shadow, since its somewhat achery-resistant and also special-ability-resistant. HAvinf just two Wolves of Isengard makes it a nice addition.
On the other hand i need another sharku, perhaps my cycling can manage to get a 34 size. But other than removing Voices, I cant see another way to get Saruman in there...
About the events, i was using Forearmed but apart form the wargs, there is nothing expensive enough to make the event work, Another option was Valor but there is only 1 possible wound before skirmish. SO... perhaps Defiance is a better option

[hrcho]

In my wargs I don't even run Warg or Isengard Scout Troop. I just keep to the War Warg and Sharku's Warg with my only minions being Foul Horde, Sharku, Warg Master and 2 copies of Isengard Rider. And 2 copies of Saruman, SotE just to spice things up.

[plnp123]

Well idropped the 3 wargs two add one more Isengard Scimitar and Saruman, Master of Foul Folk. that way i can get a pretty strong minion. Also i wouldnt drop Isengard Scout Troop, last game it worked very well, not only for wolves of isengard but to add free twilight with scimitar.
After some more games, my shadows weak point is eomer tmor and roll of thunder.
My freeps work nice if they have their possessions.
Finally I've changed Cavern Entrance for Hornburg Wall, ive been stopped twice already with 3 unplayable freeps events on hand
