Bilbo Baggins is a filthy little thief. If you play this deck, tell you partners to go ahead an play guarded cards.
This will be tweaked one we get his mithril shirt, until then the generic ring mail will do.
Get the Fast Hitch on Bilbo as soon as possible. You want card draw and Resourceful in your opening hand, the first resourceful goes on Folco, unless you also can get a song of Wisdom on Merry or Bilbo. This deck is draw heavy in order to snag those cards. Hobbit Pony is for Master Merry, so you can decide whether you need his will power or his ability. He ensures secrecy. Glamdring is for your teammate, or Folco if Solo. Rivendell Minstrel is for getting Song of Wisdom or Drinking Song as the situation dictates. I like her for the will power, but Master of the Forge would probably be better.
The scrying is for finding out when or if you want to plop down a guarded card. Risk Some Light has a dual role of moving horrible treacheries to the bottom. The best thing you can do though is put a treachery on top, place your guarded card and get the nasty treachery discarded. If you don't have a guarded card, move the worst card to the bottom. You will have to deal with a nasty bottom of the encounter deck, but ideally by then you have an army or trees backing you. If you don't enjoy this mechanic, swap this card for test of will. Celduin Traveler is another cheap way to see what is coming next, and Henamarth Riversong, of course, is the gold standard of cheap repeatable scrying.
Once Bilbo has hitch (I would put two on him), sting, and mail, he is a pretty stout defender and his quest power with his ability should be pretty solid. Until he is powered up, keep your threat down low as possible.
The Ents are the needed muscle for this deck, and archery sponges.
The sideboard includes some of the archery options for multiplayer, just swap for some red Ents. Also I'm considering Songs for the resource/smoothing engine, but it might just be better to put that in a partner deck.
