This deck is designed to quest very heavily. Ideally it would be paired with a more combat-heavy deck. Grima's ability is to be used sparingly, mostly to attempt to both push out a needed snare or spikes at a critical moment and also bolster his Isengard bros' willpower. Mustering the Rohirrim helps to get out Gleowine as soon as possible, and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to use him to draw two cards in a turn after Eomund gets stomped. Quests extremely effectively, wipes out locations like nobody's business, even stops a few nasty enemies in their tracks.
In terms of ideas I had but didn't really find a way to move around cards to do this effectively, more lore events would be nice to also have a way to bolster the Isengard bros while in the middle of questing. More card draw, protector of lorien, and a mount could let grima quest and/or defend fairly well.
