This Retribution deck corrupts the Ring-bearer using an array of Orc cards.
--- end description ---


4x Isengard Underling
3x Orkish Smith
3x Mocking Goblin
3x Porter Troll
2x Beastly Olog-hai
3x Retribution
4x Bound to its Fate
2x Unforgiving Depths
3x Goblin Hordes
4x Mordor Scimitar
3x Vicious Warg
2x Orc Spear
4x Orc Miscreant

Total: 40


The strategy is simple: play Retribution, and get Mordor Scimitar and Orc Spear out to stack on the burdens. Use Isengard Underling w/ Bound to its Fate to discard all the Freeps events, then add burdens by playing Porter Troll. Mocking Goblin is a no-brainer, and Orc Miscreant can also be great, especially in a combo with Vicious Warg. Use Unforgiving Depths to make sure you choose the sites to play, then pull back minions with Goblin Hordes. Use Orkish Smith to pull back Goblin Hordes and Unforgiving Depths if they get discarded.

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you. Razz

welcome i just thought of something, with 4x goblin hordes, 38 might be a tad large, just my opinion though.

May consider some trolls for the Mordor Scimitar. Damage +1 with an exertion?

Now its sweet. Mordor Scimitar on Beastly Olog-Hai = 3 wounds in a skirmish, + fierce = very likely two dead companions.

Looks very good, especially with the added cards. Very solid, simple, but effective deck.

Great work!

Looks solid, but the only thing I have to say is that, in my experience with this deck, the miscreant doesn’t often make it to the regroup to add his burdens (or he is exhausted by that time). I would consider another Goblin Hordes and maybe some Undisciplined. Nice deck though! Smile

I dropped a copy of Orc Miscreant and added a copy of Goblin Hordes. Thanks for the review! Smile
