It is worth noting that Sam, Son of Hamfast has access to several [Shire] healing cards and can be healed by Aragorn, King in Exile or Hard Choice, by the nature of his signet.

	In decks running Frodo as a ring-bearer, Sam, Son of Hamfast is the obvious splash option. If Frodo absorbs too many burdens quickly, such as against Easterling Lieutenant and Vision From Afar, or takes burdens as archery or threat wounds quickly, Frodo can be the sacrificed pawn and Sam can take the ring. While trading off a lower resistance than Frodo offers, Sam can continuously remove his burdens each Fellowship phase, as long as he kept healed.
