The fellowship is a Shadowplay exerting/wounding with support from Aragorn and some elves. On top of Shadowplay/Rohirrim Guard/Unheeded wounds, there's Greenleaf splashed in, as well as Elrond and Aragorn for healing and Gorn's bow for wounding. Plus, Son of Drogo works nicely with Aragorn. It could use some tweaking here and there; I feel like it's weak against corruption, so I threw in a Sam, SOH. Cycling shouldn't be a problem with Rohirrim Guard. Also, I'm not sure which ring is better, AtaR, or SaWtC, as I didn't put any weapons for Frodo in here, and he can easily die in skirmish, if that scenario ever happens. Ideally the massive wounding would stop that though.

The shadow is a standard Southron Seasoned Leader archery. Shoot them, and keep on shooting them, and the threats should take care of the rest. Some Red Wrath to possibly kill some bigger companions. Thoughts?

I see you're only using 3 twilight for your starting fellowship. Why not start with Pippin WOBAS too? Extra exertions for Shadowplay and Unheeded, plus he can help kill some early nasty minions.

[Anautikus]

Yea, I was waffling on starting Pippin or not. But now that I think about it, I don't think the cost of him moving would hurt too much versus the possibility of him saving me in the earlier sites.

Merry, Swordthain is interesting with unheeded and shadowplay to absorb the wounds, but you could use it a little better IMHO: if you find somehow the place for two Rohirrim Shield, you could retrieve them in the skirmish and use them on Eowyn at the regroup phase to heal her. It would be easier to double move this way.

Rohirrim shield is nice if you can fit it. Just remember though that Eowyn can only bear one at a time... Though it would be awesome if you could use both to heal for the double. Definitely agree w/ Bib about WoBaS (and I see you added him as per the suggestion). Have you playtested since adding him? Did his usefulness outweigh the additional twilight?

[Anautikus]

I have yet to test out the usefulness of WOBAS, but from what I can see, he's helpful early game, and can either be fodder, or a useful pincushion for exertions and wounds, since his ability would just peel them off anyway.

I did test it out previously without Sam and Pippin, and the deck flowed quite nicely. Played a Corsair deck, and Corsair Marauder wasn't too much of a problem because of Merry. Rohirrim Guard is awesome, and Aragorn, ET, and Frodo, SoD work very nicely together to manipulate wound placement as well as and healing.

Thinking about adding a shield, as well Arrow Slits, but I don't really know what to cut.
