My first NG deck.
--- end description ---
All right, I have never built a Ninja Gollum deck before. I’ve built everything else (almost) but never Ninja Gollum. So I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. But I’m gonna take a crack at it.

Shadow: (32)

Minions: (8)
Gollum, Old Villain x 4
Shelob, Eater of Light x 4

Conditions: (13)
Slippery as Fishes x 4
Hidden Even From Her x 2
Unabated in Malice x 2
Let Her deal with them x 3
Plotting x 2

Possessions: (3)
Web x 3

Events: (8)
A Dark Shape Sprang x 4
Captured by the ring x 4

Okay, my strategy is to couple it with either a site playing FP, or go second. Then play the sites necessary for Slippery as Fishes. 4 of those out, Gollum’s strength 13, not bad. Hidden Even From Her, he’s fierce. Unabated in Malice, he can easily be damage +1, and with Let her deal with them, he is damage +1, and the condition can be played from your discard pile. Plotting is there for if you get initiative, and have 4x slippery as fishes out, you can drop a strength 15, damage +2, fierce dude out there and hopefully kill someone, then with 9 threats (ouch). Hopefully he knocks someone off in the first skirmish, then the threats trigger so he can drop someone else. Web is for stacking Gollum there, and extra copies of Shelob, for Eater of Light to get colossal, and damage +1 (maybe)

So, I know its not a typical Ninja Gollum deck, but I don’t have a clue what I’m doing. Help me here before I actually build the deck.

Oh, and I picked the gollum because if your opponent plays a hobbit sword early game to "toughen up" frodo, bam. Discard our hand to make him strength +12-14. Easily overwhelm.

I’m thinking of maybe adding in Gollum, Vile Creature to use with Plotting, but I wanted an opinion. Personally, I like discarding cards from hand and then dropping the fellowship with threats. And if they try to add the threats as burdens, Stinker might be good...

I’ve never played ninja gollum myself but I always thought Shelob, Her Ladyship was more effective with this style of deck. Eater of Light can’t really gain much strength bonus with only one minion to stack on web (a minion that will be frequently played off of the web at that).
I look good on the dance floor.

Aha, but there’s the point. You can actually stack all four copies of Gollum, and all four copies of Shelob on the Web. Then you play Shelob off it and she’s strength 29.

Now, see, here you are, assuming that Ninja Gollum uses strength. Wink

You cannot make Ninja Gollum without cards like:
Promise Keeping
They Stole It
Fat One Wants It
Not This Time!
You’re a Liar and a Thief
Incited
Unseen Foe
Gollum, Dark as Darkness
Little Snuffler

And so on, and so forth. Ninja Gollum runs on wounding, not overwhelming.

However, if you want to go the strength route... then the deck looks nice.
