Basicly the idea is to control assignment with the shadow. The wizards become strong thx to throne of Isengard and when they are in they become very cheap minions so you are able to play at least 3 to 5 minions a time. Bill Ferny and Nertea are in as possible boost or to assign an alternate rb. With Grima I can cancel a special ability and exert a companion, which is actually good. I can also use him to force my opponent to fight my stronger minions with his weaker companions. Same goes for Mauhur.

Fellowship is strong enough to survive. Pipin becomes large with all the tales and if the tales are gone Merry can boost other companions. Not to much possesions, because of corsairs. But the possesions which are in are usefull. Blade of gondord to take over skirmishes and sting to ge an extra vitality, extra resistance and an extra strength, also optional treatremoval. Legols is there to kill very nasty minions in the archery. And Gimli is anti-lurker. With Gandalf I can cancel an event.

This deck should be weak against mono-smeagol and against Beasterlings
