^ that is the deck I built some days ago and I'm currently using. So far it looks solid (and fun), although I lost once in the "Thing in the Depths" due to three unlucky and obnoxious shadow cards in a row. Shadow cards seem to be a weak point here. I usually defend with Denethor, Treebeard, or chumpblock, and honestly, the idea is avoid defending via trapping enemies. Anyways, any help in improving the deck would be appreciated!
