Sauron Swarm

[sharkey]

Here is my Sauron Swarm deck, which works in conjunction with a card cycling dwarven deck. Between the two, I can cycle through my deck pretty quickly. I like it, but something is missing. It doesn't work against decks with The One Ring, The Great Ring as well, or deck that focus on strengthening the ringbearer. Advice?

35 cards

Minions:
Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Goldur x3 (or 4)
And 20, 1 to 2 twilight minions. (Preferably trackers, and more of the one twilight. Ideal minion: Orc Ambusher)

Conditions:
The Dark Lord's Summons
Spies of Mordor x4

Events:
Forces of Mordor x3
Seigcraft x2
Southern Spies x2

Southern Spies is pretty worthless and a wasted card in your hand. I feel like if you are playing Casual, you have to go the Mordor Fiend route, Found here...

As for cheap minions of the variety, I have always liked a full array of Desperate Defense of the Ring with Orc Chaser, Orc Pursuer, and Orc Stalker. Plus there are a lot of fun initiative cards with that.

There is a reason Forces of Mordor is limited to open!

This is a RL deck... and I have no Mordor Fiends. Awww.....

Any other advice on what to replace Southern Spies with? I wanted something that would provide some extra punishment when assigned to the RB, and it also helps prevent any nasty events from popping up.

Come to think of it, Dead Ones is a good fit for this deck... GASP! A use for a Wraith!

[ket_the_jet]

Don't use Dead Ones.

um.. wisp of pale sheen in twilight nazgul...

If you combine the first set trackers with roaming orcs (e.g. Advance Captain, Advance Marauder) you can get a very dangerous 4th site swarm.

It is an expensive card, in RL means, but Ithil Stone should join the party. Hand extension and cheaper minions...woot!
