The cultural enforcement required by The Shire Countryside is weak for any deck with Frodo as the Ring-bearer. Playing a second Hobbit in the starting fellowship makes it much less likely to ever clog your hand, and having backup Hobbits in the deck provides some cover should you run into trouble early on. {{Card|Merry, Friend to Sam}} is a popular choice in the starting fellowship as his ability is naturally complemented by its healing, and {{Twilight|3}} remaining allows plenty of decks to take advantage of the setup. | The cultural enforcement required by The Shire Countryside is weak for any deck with Frodo as the Ring-bearer.

The Shire Countryside enables some of the game's most potent and flexible healing, but it's not the only way to constantly remove wounds from companions. If there are many Frodo signets or a {{C|Gondor}} Man, Pipeweed decks provide a similar caliber of healing in the Fellowship phase without relying on conditions (though the reliance on possessions is a liability itself in [[Movie Block]] where corsairs and {{Card|Corsair Marauder}} are popular). {{Card|Shoulder to Shoulder}} | The Shire Countryside enables some of the game's most potent and flexible healing, but it's not the only way to constantly remove wounds from companions.

The [[Hobbit Hospital]] strategy keeps Shire-folk healthy with {{Card|Hobbit Party Guest}} refilling {{Card|The Gaffer, Sam's Father}} and {{Card|Farmer Maggot, Chaser of Rascals}} every turn. | ||
