Ideas for combining these two.
Loreagorn plus Frodo?
Throw Boromir and some Doomed cards into the mix.
I'm currently using a deck with Loreagorn, Frodo and Spirit Glorfindel. The deck is a little rough but it seems to work.
You can put in a high threat tactics hero (use Loragorn later) like Beorn.

This is still one of the best decks around in my opinion. You have great willpower (Glorf and spirit allies) attack (Glorf and Aragorn), defence (Frodo), location control with Asfaloth, and spirit cancellation cards.
Like the Beorn idea. Beorn is also great for sucking up archery damage.
Frodo is pretty good at soaking up archery damage since you can use his ability once per phase. Frodo and Loragorn are one of my favorite combos because you jack the threat way up with Frodo, then reset. It allows you to stabilize in the early game, which is the hardest part. Personally, I don't like Boromir in the mix because starting threat is too high and you can't really use two threat increasing abilities together because the threat goes up too fast. I prefer low threat heroes like Merry or Pippen (lore) or Glorfindel obviously because you get more bang for your buck with Aragorn's ability. Since Frodo can quest and then soak damage from an undefeated attack it allows you to use weaker hobbit heroes. You go heavy on allies and with The Sword that was Broken you eventually achieve a power level that crushes almost every quest.

Beorn as a few advantages, if you also play spirit : with the Fall of Gil-Galad and Fortune of Feat and/or Landroval, you can get a serious threat reduction. And a few player cards work with Beron to cancel some damage made to him.
Fall of Gil-Galad doesn't work with Beorn because you can't attach it to him in the first place.

Except when those occasional text-blanking encounter cards are in effect!
...stupid weather...
Edited by sappidusAlas, we can only sing Beorn goodby if it's raining.

Oops.. that's right! Sorry about that... often forget the non attachments rule with Beron...
