Enduringuls (Shadow only)

[Anautikus]

Now here's something new!

Shadow (35):
4x The Witch King, LoA
4x Ulaire Toldea, Thrall of the One
2x Ulaire Enquea, Thrall of the One
2x Ulaire Cantea, Thrall of the One
2x Ulaire Nelya, Thrall of the One
1x Ulaire Otsea, Thrall of the One
1x Ulaire Lemenya, Thrall of the One
2x Ulaire Enquea, LoM

4x Fell Beast
3x BNaP
2x Morgul Gates
2x Black Marshal
2x Bent on Discovery
1x The Ring Draws Them
1x Ithil Stone
1x The Pale Blade
1x Spied from Above

So this is sort of a wound-y, beatdown-y build. I'm having trouble with which Witch King I should be using though. MK is nice, but I don't know if he fully fits into the whole Enduring Nazgul theme, but his ability is so much better than Black Captain's. I'm thinking of adding a little potential Gollum/CbtR support, but this is how it is now. It could be slimmer, but Fell Beasts cycle well enough, I think. Thoughts?

I would do this:

In:
Black Marshal x2
Morgul Gates x4
Fell Beast x1
Bent On Discovery x1 (or The Ring Draws Them x1)
Ithil Stone x1

Out:
Gates of The Dead City x4
Dark Swooping Shadows x2
Fear x1
Helpless x1
Ulaire Attea, Thrall of The One x1

[Anautikus]

Wow how did I forget about Black Marshall. If I'm avoiding burden adding altogether, is The Ring Draws Them even necessary, or did you suggest it for the nice freebie twilight with the free exertion? I guess throwing one in wouldn't hurt at all, since Ithil Stone gives me more card drawing anyway.

Now here's something new!

I'm going to presume you meant new to you.

I think you can live without Attea and would rather see a flush of Toldea and Enquea. With Black Marshal, you can stand to drop two or three Morgul Gates and add in a fourth Fell Beast.

Outside of that, you'll want to keep the deck around 34 cards to deal with Fell Beast dumping cards.

I'm going to presume you meant new to you.

Most definitely sarcasm, my friend.

But yea, Fell Beast drops cards like mad, so I think I'll keep the deck at ~34 or 35 at this point. I like the Enqueas splt at 2 and 2, but I think I can run 3 Enquea, TotO, with one Shotgun Enquea for funsies. Crowd control is always fun, or if TotO has gone overboard with burdens.

[macheteman]

yes. i usually keep 1 shotgun and 3 thralls. the shotgun usually shows his ugly mug mid to late in the game when the burdens are close to 5 anyways.

[Haszor]

MK is nice, but I don't know if he fully fits into the whole Enduring Nazgul theme, but his ability is so much better than Black Captain's.

For the purpose of this deck, I'd go Black Captain, as he's possibly higher strength, you have no threat adding, and he has the potential to cancel all strength bonuses from weapons, though he isn't fierce, which is the only draw back.

[TheJord]

Black Captain is a big pile of wank. Lord of Angmar or Morgul King

[macheteman]

lol, tell us how you feel...

[Anautikus]

Black Captain is a big pile of wank. Lord of Angmar or Morgul King

hahahah gg Jord. Aside from the aesthetics of the card image (especially the promo), 100% agree on that one.

[macheteman]

he really should have been fierce.

[Anautikus]

Or have an ability that was not a useless box of text lol

[ket_the_jet]

I don't see how Morgul Brute and Morgul Destroyer wouldn't be more helpful than Ulaire Nelya, Thrall of the One and/or Ulaire Otsea, Thrall of the One. And even Morgul Gates.
-wtk

[Anautikus]

I like that Nelya and Otsea can both use BNaP, if needed. I cut 2 Morgul Gates, added a 4th WK - that might be overkill, but whatever, we'll see how a playtest goes - and threw in a Sword for Witch King and added Spied from Above for fun; I've never used it in a deck before; this seems perfect haha

[MuadDib85]

Spied From Above would be great if it was a shadow action. But being regroup makes it next to useless imo.
