You should think about getting Grond since you have these [Sauron] Uruks.

I don't know if that shadow side was inspired by me, or you played it before, but here is my list for reference:
http://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,6661.0.html

Some advices:
1. Drop all Worry, they have nothing to do with your goal. You want to win with swarm, not Worry tricks.
2. You absolutely need Greed, you don't have other forms of crowd control, and you can't beat a freeps like ents or Gondor biggies, without it (and its better than shotgun Enquea for this deck)
3. You need the 4th Cirith Ungol Sentry, it is by far superior to Patroler
4. Use Shagrat, he can stop your opponent from doubling early, can play Ithil Stone from him, and he still survives that critical 1a.

As for some play advice... you almost always want to swarm on site 6, so try to make your opponent believe that your hand is not filled with uruks, and he can double to 6. Using Lurtz and Shagrat to accomplish this proved to be the best way for me.

I was never a fan of those armor. One one the biggest strenght of hobbits are their hight vitality.

-1 is a big lost for them.

Everyone knows and escape is really strong. Espacialy with famer maggot since you can heal merry and pipin. I prefert this strat more than the other one.
Good thing is though, that with a corsair marauder the little hobbit gets healthier, well that has got to be a first :D. I kinda agree with Gartax, though I must say I'd like to see pumped out Pippin...it is like a steroid, you might grow, but it is bad for your health. Everyone knows is good.

Yeah, I think this is better, I have changed it!

Dunno, It's quite expensive for a one use card....

I played against one with worry, and it eventually killed me. I liked the idea of the deck a lot, so decided to copy it. Thanks for linking to your list, i will examine it.

But when it is not likely for your opponent to double move, you can use it. Getting rid of an armor, anduril or whatever can be worth it. It increases options, and options are good. You hate losing to a deck which isn't necessary.

OK, I thought it was maneuver phase. I will add a Grond. What should i take out for a talent for not being seen? It seems too good to pass up! (It aint on any X-lists I can find)
