Smoke Some Pipes

Frodo Baggins gets Hobbit Pipe, 1x Spare Pipe, 1x Resourceful, 2x Fast Hitch, Friend of Friends and Song of Eärendil. He is the priority for Resourceful.

Folco Boffin gets Hobbit Pipe, 1x Spare Pipe, 1x Resourceful, 1x Fast Hitch, Friend of Friends and Glamdring.

Pippin gets Hobbit Pipe, 1x Resourceful.

Mulligan for Hobbit Pipe or at least Bilbo Baggins. Setting up your Hobbit Pipes as fast as possible is crucial to keep your card draw up. Chump Bilbo Baggins if you draw into another copy. Resourceful is also a good catch in your starting hand.

Strategy:

This is a secrecy deck with some encounter control and strong questing power.

Peace, and Thought and Drinking Song song help you fetch the missing Hobbit Pipes and Resourcefuls.

It's important to stay in secrecy to pay for the secrecy allies and Risk Some Light. These help you a lot to control the encounter deck and be fully prepared for what's to come.

The allies mostly solely help with questing. Having 3x Ithilien Lookout in play adds some good attack power and possibly Sam Gamgee. Frodo Baggins always has defence covered and with the allies and Folco Boffin, attack is also covered. This way you can quite regularly engage enemies.

With all the threat reduction it's nice to take some threat from teammates through Song of Eärendil.

Sideboard:

Good Meal helps you play Smoke Rings and especially The Galadhrim's Greeting. I prefer Smoke and Think because it's more versatile and can have a higher cost reduction.

Gandalf's Search is actually fun and viable in this deck later game. I've used it in 2h solo where I had all my Resourcefuls and so a lot of resources really fast. Then you trigger it on a player who needs it the most and it can be insanely powerful to rearrange the whole deck almost.

2x Arwen Undómiel is in the sideboard to switch with The One Ring and Inner Strength if needed.
