Deck: Dauntless Hunter/Easterling

[gashad]

My friend is having some problems logging in so he asked me to help him post his deck here-so here it is with(with his comments):

This is my first attempt at the dauntless hunter free people strategy. I am looking to improve it, and would appreciate any feedback on the deck. The shadow is a work in progress, suggestions are welcome.

Meta: Uruk-hai swarm/wounding, enduring nazgul

My intention: An "all-round deck" with a few of those fun cards splashed to specifically target and counteract the meta.

switch 2 gathering to the summons w 2 additional vision from afar. I play 4 actually but guess not everyone likes them. Good deck
Id play some more easterlings tho who gain profit from burdens, not just add. Like Easterling axeman and another or 2 Easterling Captain

[Odin]

I can see the benefit with vision from afar, but I don't have multiple copies of it. As for Easterling axeman, is it worth the space when I only have one Easterling Captain to pump him? ...I've seen Easterling decks that play red wrath and raiders bow; Is it worth drawing focus from burden adding towards wounding?

[Vroengard]

Thats really preference, I am not a fan of mixing in Red Wrath, but if you throw in 1-2 copies it can be fun but rather concentrate on burdens.

I played a deck once with several Gollum, Stinker, its a cheap strong minion who can also add burdens.
You could add a Shotgun Enquea as well
