Thematic Saga - Shelob's Lair

This is the Fellowship I used for Shelob's Lair in my Thematic Saga run (which includes the 2 PoD quests that are inserted after the 1st quest in Black Riders. I won 2 out of 3 on Easy Mode with this Fellowship. I have 2 core sets and used cards thru the Haradrim cycle. The beginning of my Saga run is here: https://www.ringsdb.com/fellowship/view/5145. The previous quest, Journey To The Crossroads, is here: https://www.ringsdb.com/fellowship/view/7119.

Boons: Brace Of Coneys (x2), Anduril (not used), Sting, Old Bogey-Stories, Tireless Ranger (Sam), Noble Hero (Aragorn - not used), Mithril Shirt (not used), Glamdring (not used), Leader of Men (Aragorn - not used), Intimidation (Legolas - not used)

Burdens: The Searching Eye (x2), Gandalf's Delay, Panicked, Overcome By Terror, Fear of Discovery, Pursued By The Enemy, Overcome By Grief, Ill Fate

Due to the mechanics of the game, there's only so much you can do to make this a thematic quest. I did the best I could given the game mechanics and my previous hero list.

Beregond needs to be an uber-defender. Song of Wisdom and Burning Brand go on him. (I used pre-nerf Burning Brand as the FAQ hasn't been updated yet and this quest came out well before the nerf.)

Try to avoid putting resources on Shelob and use some of the direct damage tricks (Gondorian Spearman, Swift Striket) in Sam's deck to get those resources off her.

In both wins, I did not clear the Nazgul away via discarding cards. As soon as Faramir is buffed with Gondorian Fire and has had Steward of Gondor for a couple of rounds, you can one-shot him.
