I Put deck list first and talk from strategy later on.
Shadow(35):
Conditions (10):
3x
Unforgiving Depths
4x
Beasts of Burden
3x
Goblin Hordes
Events (4):
2x
Unreasonable Choice
2x
Barrage
Minions (21):
4x
Mountain-Troll
1x
Chamber Patrol
1x
Watchful Orc
4x
Orkish Worker
3x
Isengard Underling
4x
Orkish Runner
4x
Scurrying goblin
(or
Orkish scout
)
Basically your strategy is to swarm with orcs. i like more (or started to like more after playing) orc swarm since i don't need keyward and it's
warg
. And with this deck you can easily pull two mountain-trolls per shadow (other has fierce)
Mountain-troll
pays 10 pool which is problem against choke. there is couple ways to try go around
1) try get multiple
goblin hordes
in play and draw only pool giving/free minions (try get 5minions at same time to hand)
Mount Doom
is your safe way to get minions back(Usually choke="site control")
2)
Orkish Worker
. But only if your opponent plays forest nazgul. its not instant win but once you pop nazgul you can start smiling (anything between 5+ casting cost is fine, 4 is poor man's runner)
Chamber patrol
has two uses. It makes site an underground at region 2 and its nice boost at 3.
Watchful orc
replaces underground site for you if
unforgiving depths
gets discarded. I don't play more than one since 4cost is much in this deck from a orc. I think
chamber patrol
as a emergency underground so it kinda replaces second
watchful orc
(if you wonder why i don't play 2x
watchful orc
).
Isengard underling
is is basically this decks "Mr. Combo".
Unreasonable choice
makes people to discard conditions or you get free minions from
mountain-troll
. Underling costs 4 to play from discard pile +
unreasonable choice
gives two pool, it costed normal price but pretty cheap from discard pile. or you get that condition destroyed and that's always good.
Well i made this deck based on this:
When-mountain-troll-hits-playdiscard-pile-costs:
Scurrying goblin
1
Orkish runner
(at region 2... 2 and at reg 3 1)
Orkish Worker
(you can win game if you get +6 , 4=0 otherwise it costs 1-4)
Isengard underling
4
Watchful orc
/
Orc Patrol
= 5 (ugh, other reason why i don't play more of them )
About sites:
Mount Doom
is always good to have
Sirannon ruins
4number + you can change site for underground
Shores of new hithoel (when everything else fails)
at least 5-6 underground sites
Cards that are playable:
Bound to its Fate
(burdens... burdens...
)
Dread and despair
(not as good as
unreasonable choice
but it has 0cost+ you get new card for worker if it fails)
Massing strength
(something for
the faithful stone
)
Forced march
(run over sanctuary ,or when you need more pool against choke decks (probably both))
Orkish Lackey
(its great card but it doesn't give pool which can big a problem)
Expanded Version:
Your main pool giving machine is
Demoralized
and
mountain-troll
is making barrel rolls with orcs. i can post in expanded other deck if you want but i give some hints.
Demoralized
Rallying orc
orc skulker
troll's keyward
Orc Hammer
Armed for battle
Well its not perfect and choke is still problem. But you can fight against it.
The faithful stone
is evil and
ithilien blade
makes trolls disappear but ... once you "pop", others can't stop.
PS. if my text has too many spelling errors, please send pm.
EDIT: yeah i forgot Orkish scouts since i don't own them. they could easily replace scurrying goblins and by doing that you don't need 3x
unforgiving depths
(but 4x
goblin hordes
comes handy +
forced march
) also
orkish scout
is good with 2-3 shadow number too.
