I don't think you need so many swords, I think you'd do better with tons of Gondor Bow instead. I run an expanded Knight deck with Gondor Bow, Fourth Level and Banner of Westernesse so that whenever your guys win the skirmishes (by killing the minions exhausted by Fourth Level) you get to heal someone else so that they can use more Gondor Bow! Also, Boromir, Hero of Osgiliath is awesome for this. I think you could also do with some more Sixth Level - the limit is 1 per copy of Sixth Level you have in play, after all and I think you'll often want to make sure that you have the Fourth Levels to kill people with.

Now this seems like a deck that could do with Harsh Tongues - unfortunately, it's not a very good card, but it's the best you have in the culture to get you initiative which seems to be useful for this Shadow side. I'd also use the Rout from your other deck here.

I also think that 35/35 is very ambitious for a deck with no card draw or cycling. I think you want to be running no more than 32/32, if you can 30/30.

Thanks for the help. Unfortunately, currently I am unable to nab a gondor bow and a sixth lvl right now.
I have actually been able to survive quite well with the number, so...

[Elladan]

Do you really need 6 pumps? The point of this Evil side is to add threats, and then kill with Mumak Commander and Archery.

[Aragorn_Ellessar]

You're probably right about that...

[Elladan]

Take out 2 ON the March and replace with 1 Rallying Call

Take out 1 MoN and replace Guard of the White Tree with Boromir, Hero of Osgiliath

[Aragorn_Ellessar]

Took out the MoN and replaced GofWT with Boromir,  HoO

I will try to get a Rallying Call

[Aragorn_Ellessar]

Am getting 2x Rallying Call and 2x Gondor Bow.
