The Black Riders: Frodo and Cancellations
You cancel everything on the card, including Surge and Doomed. You can only cancel Peril if you are the player in control of Frodo.
Okay how about exhausting the one ring to cancel the effects of this card?
Everything. I don't see what's confusing you here. You cancel the effects of the card - *all* of them - and then shuffle that card back into the deck and reveal a new card. The Hide test is an effect, so yes, it is cancelled. The Forced effect doesn't matter because you don't make a Hide test because you cancelled it, and then you shuffled the Nazgul back into the encounter deck to be replaced by another card.
Okay whatI'm getting at is you just basically can reshuffle any card you don't like.... including enemies and locations? Forgive me, it's a weird thought to grasp.
Yep, it's a very powerful effect. For the One Ring though, so that's pretty appropriate.
But because the universe is what it is, expect to see the same card that you just cancelled immediately pop back up. And now you have an exhausted One Ring, which is usually a bad thing.
There is one exception that I can think of: The One Ring can't cancel Great Barrow ( http://hallofbeorn.com/LotR/Details/Great-Barrow-FotBD ) because it is immune to player card effects.
Yeah, since it's a player card effect it won't work on things which are immune to player card effects. And you can't cancel+reshuffle a Peril card if you're not the player who revealed it. But anything else is fair game.
But the card says "just revealed from the encounter deck ". Shadow cards are delt face down from the encounter deck at the very beginning of Combat Phase, and revealed later when the enemy makes it's actual attack.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but you appear to be positing that Black Riders Frodo can cancel a shadow card (and presumably get a new one dealt in its place).
This is untrue. In the terminology of the game, shadow cards are not revealed —instead, as the Rules Reference puts it [6.4.2]:
QuoteThe active player flips the attacking enemy's shadow card faceup and resolves any shadow effect the card might have.
(Emphasis added.) A card is only revealed when the word "reveal" is actually involved (as per, e.g., this FAQ entry ).
