This is the deck I took through the first three quests of my saga campaign. Trying to keep it as thematic as possible with my current collection. I used Black Riders Frodo Baggins for all three quests.

Campaign Results:

Earned: The Ring Draws Them, Mr. Underhill, Tireless Ranger (on Sam), Fear of Discovery

Sideboard Cards were included for quests 2 and 3, as meeting Dunedain in Bree and after seems possible. To add them, I cut 2x KET, 1x Halfling Bounder, 1x Hobbit Cloak, 3x Shadow of the Past, 2x Prepare for Battle.

For those who are curious, I beat A Shadow of the Past and Flight to the Ford first try. Knife in the Dark was a second attempt victory, due to too many enemies (Rider of Mordor, I'm looking at you) the first time.

Any comments/suggestions would be great! I will be continuing this campaign, so stay tuned for The Road Darkens!

I love the deck - I just finished rereading The Two Towers and was thinking about whether it would be possible to beat Shelob's Lair with just Sam and Frodo. I wonder if you can use the Grey Wanderer in campaign mode, I'm not sure if you choose Frodo as a hero or not.

Black Riders question: how did you deal with Bill Ferny in A Knife to the Dark?

@AdaepholnIt was actually part of my evil strategy. The first try I lost becuase I ended up going up to 42 which was his engagement cost with Pippin, but soon threated out. The second time, the card I was hoping to show up did: my burden, The Ring Draws Them! Bill came down on round two and triggered Pippin and Sam!

I believe you can choose Sam as your Grey Wanderer and then get Frodo... Not sure though.
