The Ithilien Blade.

Well...pretty straightforward deck. Use Aragorn's Bow to run up the threat count, and then use Madril to run up the site number, and then anything that gets by the Ithilien Blade and Aragorn's Bow gets dropped in the skirmish phase thanks to Arrows Thick in the Air and Gondorian Ranger.

Sauron Discarding Corruption.

Also straightforward. Desperate Defense of the Ring, Thin and Stretched, and Verily I Come add burdens and discard cards. That's where the beauty of Trollshaw forest comes in. With Verily I Come, it would be so tempting to draw a card after playing that possession, but as soon as you do, add a burden or more depending on if you have The Ring is Mine! in your hand.

Desperate Measures discards cards, as does Tower Lieutenant. Desperate Defense of the Ring forces your opponent to choose between running out of cards or adding burdens. Either way, you corrupt them, whether by lowering the Ring-Bearer's resistance to 0, or by running the deck out and using The Irresistible Shadow.

Oh, and for a couple more burdens, Orc Officer/Siege Troop Combo at Slag Mounds will really run up the burden count.
