--- end description ---
EDIT: really sorry, not really awake, this should be in the expanded section, could someone please move it? thank you.
Shadow:34
Minions:
4x Isengard Underling
3x Porter Troll
3x Mocking Goblin
1x Gollum, Stinker
Possesions:
4x Orc Spear
Events:
4x Bound to its Fate
4x Captured by the Ring
1x Dread and Despair
Conditions:
3x Retribution
3x Evil-Smelling Fens
2x Heavy Burden
1x Not Yet Vanquished
1x Final Strike
Strategy:
This is your basic orc corruption, but with a twist. You use the usual cards such as Porter Troll, Mocking Goblin, Bound to it’s Fate and Retribution to add burdens, with Isengard Underling pulling the Bound to its Fate’s back. However rather than use underground sites and goblin hordes to replay this, we’ll add in gollum, and his bag of tricks.
Gollum brings many advantages. He can add burdens himself through heavy burden, and once there are enough,his own ability. he can also add even more burdens with those porter trolls, with Not Yet Vanquished.
Perhaps most importantly he can bring back whatever minion we need right then, with Evil-Smelling Fens, so depending on whether we need an Underling or a Troll gollum can help us. Finally he protects us against Nasty ithilien blade decks, which will try to discard our precious porter trolls, by using final strike.
Some other cards to consider are: Incited (to bring back evil smelling fens, if you find yourself low on minions) orkish miscreant (if you can keep him alive till regroup he might get an extra burden or two.) hidden even from her (punishes big fellowships, and when the burdens gte going, is just brutal with stinker.)
This deck can handle most fellowships, the only real problem is elven events, who have plenty of events to spare, can beat your trolls with ease, and will overwhelm gollum so he’s not around for heavy burden. |
