Smeagol/Gollum deck synergy to use the shadow to wound to death and recover your Free Peoples skirmish pumps that Smeagol finds so dear.
--- end description ---
Free Peoples
Smeagol, Bearer of Great Secrets
The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
Faramir, Son of Denethor
Pippin, Hobbit of Some Intelligence
Fishing Boat
Clever Hobbits x 3
Nasty x 4
Not Listening x 3
Naked Waste x 3
There’s Another Way x 4
Follow Smeagol x 2
Poor Wretch x 4
Gladden Homestead x 2
Safe Passage x 2
Nice Fish x 4
Well...massive token reinforcement and Fishing Boat abuse. Control the Site-Path, choke like crazy, and beat everything up. With a well-played Gladden Homestead and some wins with 4x Nice Fish, Out of All Knowledge reinforces well and Fishing boat at least keeps smeagol alive. Then Nasty makes him explode. About to be overwhelmed? Burn tokens as necessary and then slap down a Nasty. Clever Hobbits allows you to burn conditions for a good use, but don’t worry, the Shadow side provides some recursion.
Gollum, Nasty Treacherous Creature
Gollum, Vile Creature x 2
Gollum, Dark as Darkness
Shelob, Her Ladyship x 3
Shelob, Eater of Light
Web
Fat One Wants It x 2
Hidden Even From Her x 2
Promise Keeping x 3
Incited x 2
Not This Time x 2
Deceit x 3
Little Snuffler x 3
Captured By The Ring x 4
You’re A Liar and a Thief x 4
Use Deceit to protect your conditions. Thus Incited will be used only for recursion of events, primarily Free Peoples.
Little Snuffler wounds or exerts in region 1 and 2. By region 3, you shouldn’t need to use it, but you can. You should have enough recursion on Captured by The Ring that you won’t need to use it.
Anyway, add tons of threats, and then use those threats to wound like crazy. Threats kick in for more wounds, add more threats, wound more, and basically wound them to death.
Any comments? |

 Add the popcorn smiley to your sig, help it achieve world domination.
What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about? 
As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

Not really, but I know a lot of people who run Faramir in a Solo Deck. And there’s no reason not to in expanded. Pathfinder controls the sitepath just as well as still far ahead, only cheaper.
And Pippin, HoSI is only to cut down the deck size and let you bid a burden. |

That alone is brilliant and merits a  .
I’ll give this a more in-depth look soon, but I don’t see anything right off the bat that I’d recommend changing. |

i think you can cut all Naked Waste and a copy of fishing boat to add 3 not listening ...
you bring don’t look at them with dammed gate stream? if not cut a copy of the card you bring to put another not listening... this card helped my a lot of times! and you can use one good turn deserves another without fear ! :p
and in shadow side
shelob EoL never helped me in my ng deck... im using her becuz i dun have 3x shelob, her ladyship...
you can use 4 different golluns like
Gollum Mad thing (your opponent will always think 2 times before make him str +3)
Gollum skulker (Works fine with mad thing... your opponent can put burdens to prevent MT to be strong and make skulker strong )
Gollum, old villan (with a dark shape sprang is a really cool combo!I won a LOT of games this way =p)
Gollum, Hopeless... (Really strong with alternative ring bearers like Gimli and Isildur)
cut little snuffler and a couple of YaLaaT (you can bring them with incited... they clog your hand!)
add
2x so polite or we must have it
2x they stole it
and another web
cut one gollum and add a dark shape sprang
and use 4x her ladyship...
I love this deck |

I believe you thought of Gollum, Stinker not Gollum, Skulker.
Old Villain is good for a cheap auto RB kill but only if they bring RB possessions. And you happen to pull it at the time they choose to play it.
I do agree with They Stole It.
If you had more resistance beatdown, Frenzied Attack. It kills with Promise Keeping. |

I’d honestly take out Little Snuffler and put in 3 copies of Ulaire Lemenya, Eternally Threatening to "threaten" those rainbow fellowships.  |
In his eyes was the look of a hunted beast seeking some gap in the ring of his enemies.  |

Thanks for the tips!
I’ll take a look at the prices before adding them, because I’m trying to make this deck as cheap as you can possibly make a decent NG deck.
Fishing Boat is crucial to the deck, and Naked Waste can pump Faramir as well as Gollum. I think I’ll cut Out of All Knowledge, though.
I think I’ll use Dammed Gate-Stream to pull Fishing Boat. Forgot about that site. But grabbing the fishing boat is CRUCIAL to the deck working. Why do you think I have 4 Nice Fish? And Gladden Homestead is worth more than just getting rid of conditions. I can send someone’s support area to the top of their deck if I need to, once it gets set up.
How tough can I get Smeagol with Nasty, I wonder...
EDIT: +17. And then he’s a base 11 vitality 5 resistance 9. Decent for a solo-RB. and then with all the ways to pump him up....
I’m looking for more strength-adding conditions to replace my Clever Hobbits with. Its a rather steep price and I only want 2. |
