no goblin backstabbers or a balrog? id add 4 copies of the backstabber in there, and maybe a balrog (and the original cave troll! ) |

Backstabbers are overrated, as I’ve found. The object of a swarm deck is to kill the RB. With Mithril-Coat on the table, that won’t happen very easily.
Take the bowman out, and put in some more cheap minions, as well as Goblin Armory. That’ll get you enough twilight to work with. Also, put in Cave Troll of Moria, plus Troll’s Keyward.
Unless you’re doing FOTR block, I wouldn’t recommend a Balrog. The Bridge of Khazad-Dum (the old one) was the only card that made the Balrog playable, and that’s an FOTR site. The new site stinks. |

I can’t believe I missed Armory...
Anyway, you can’t go straight swarm at all. It’s not reasonable. Include a few strong guys like the Cave Troll, and have the Troll’s Keyward. With that, Mr. Troll can be as cheap as Lurtz! (And way better!)
Don’t worry about a big deck, either. rocks at both cycling and recursion. My deck on SDA has about 41 or 42 Shadow cards (FOTR only). |

That’ll hit every deck hard. Besides, you’ve got Legion of the Underdeeps in there. Why not another big minion? |

Yeah, that’s a good deck. Test it and see what’s working. |
