This deck has been played once only so far, against Discard / Corruption. I won, just managing to survive long enough with four burdens on Faramir to get a rangers cloak preventing Mount Doom from ending the game as The Throne of The Dark Lord was in play and my Greatest of The Mearas and Scroll of Isildur had already been discarded.

I got the shadow kill at site seven using Dark Horseman, Ring of Terror and Lost In The Woods on Gimli, BoG.

Please let me know wat you think of the deck.

Since no comments yet, I will explain a little about the freeps as that is what I would mainly like some feedback on..

Give Anarion Narsil, Blade of The Faithful and a Rangers Cloak to make eack minion he fights strength minus five per skirmish event played. (Only five pumps in deck, maybe more needed?).

Pippin, WoBAS and Ithilien Blade can be used all the way to site nine. Gondorian Merchant, Soldier's Cache, Faramir, BoQ and Faramir's Bow, Ithilien Longbow to make minions roaming.

Four Ranger of Westernesse (possibly my favourite standard companion). Give one of them Faramir's Bow, Ithilien Longbow and two of them Ithilien Blades (the third IB is for Faramir, BoQ).

Hearts Raised for threat removal, Much-needed rest and Mithlond for healing, Gandalf, LoTC and Shadowfax, GoTM for Burden removal and for Dark Horseman protection.

I really like this deck and would like to make it as competetive as possible without completely changing it. Any suggestions are appreciated.

i would take out spirit of the white tree, hardy garrison and a gandalf for 3 pumps, probably lose the highest wuality too and go 4x pledge of loyalty or rally the company

[Gil-Estel]

No, you need the Spirit of the White tree, would probably add another, since Wargs will be a pain with all the wounding the do during skirmish.
