	Some strategies focus on keeping Sam, Son of Hamfast alive, particularly with dangerous self-!corrupting ~~alternate~~ Ring-~~Bearers~~, such as Gimli, Bearer of Grudges or Boromir, Bearer of Council. Any corruption or burden based strategy must make Sam, Son of Hamfast a target, whether by directed wounding, or Helpless, a bane of Sam. 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.
