a themfull hobbitdeck buffed with alep:

here you can start with 4 hobbitheroes and in secrecy thx to Keep It Secret. you need to reduce by 4 so your threadeleminationlevel ist 42. but thats 22 to go that should be enough, you want to stay low-thread anyways because of different buffs:

• Sam Gamgee
• Dagger of Westernesse
• Hobbit Archer
• Pippin
• Bywater Shirriff
• Gaffer Gamgee

for threadreducing you have some options:

• Gandalf (but he might be better for cards)
• Elevenses
• The Galadhrim's Greeting
• Keen as Lances (might be better for cards ;) )
• Double Back

little advices:

• if you have Gaffer Gamgee in hand put the next Resourceful on Folco Boffin for a possible use every round
• you might go out of cards soon, so use Gandalf or Keen as Lances for cards maybe search with Drinking Song for one of these
• make Sam Gamgee your maindefender he can get Ring Mail, Hobbit Cloak, 1-2 Dúnedain Warning and Gondorian Shield to pile up to 8 defense (with his ability) if the Gondorian Shield is not themefull enough for you replace with a 2. Ring Mail
• Merry with 2 Dagger of Westernesse and 4 hobbit is a killer
• safety-defense if nothing else with ability of Frodo Baggins
• consider replace Sneak Attack with A Lesson in Caution if getting sneak-gandalf-combo it is better but the A Lesson in Caution is as single card of use and it might be the less risky way.

more secrecy options in the sideboard.

in solo (or if your mates agree) it might be usefull to unse The One Ring and some mastercards, but it is a good deck even without and your threadeleminationlevel lowers to 37 that might be a bit dangerous in some szenarios
