Hmm...It looks like your shadow is a little scattered. You’ve got strength boosters, you’ve got a bit of wounding, and then you’ve got a little bit of burden-adding.
What other  cards do you have? There might be a little more to help you with your wounding. |

Hi,
I actually have an online deck and I I just switched from Uruk Hunters to Orc Wounding, so I think I can help you here. I combine wounding with threats, so that once I kill someone the threats are all triggered. But, in reality, if I can get a Black Land Overlord in play then I use remove the threats in maneuver to exhaust anyone I choose.
Here’s what my decklist looks like:
Shadow (33)
Beastly Olog-hai x2 (a monster with Mordor Scimitar!)
Black Land Overlord x3 (removes threats to exert people)
Black Land Observer x4 (easy threats, nice strength)
Black Land Chieftain x3 (can add TONS of threats)
Black Gate Sentry x3 (lots of wounding)
Veteran War Chief x3 (wounding)
Scouting Orc x4 (wounding)
Beasts of Burden x3 (makes your Orcs cheaper)
Great Cost x3 (anti-6 companions)
Unmistakable Omen (allows for a site 3 kill, and has a nifty regroup ability)
Mordor Scimitar x4 (exerting; play on a Black Gate Sentry for maximum benefits)
I’ve played it about 5 or 6 times, and I haven’t lost with it yet. It’s either killed my opponent, or left them too beat up to move along the adventure path and so my Freeps would win. |

It’s great to know you play online AC, do you use the same nickname there. I hope we can meet sometime to play. Please let me know when you usually be there.
Unfortunately I still don’t have some of those cards:
Beastly Olog-hai (I try to use Tower Troll instead, It’s also good anti-6)
Black Land Overlord
Black Land Chieftain (That’s rare, so I don’t guess I am gonna get it soon)
Beasts of Burden
Other than that I play the cards with exactly the same strategy as yours.
I usually discard weapons if I don’t use it (lack of twilight for instance) while reconciliation or forced discading to help recycling my large deck. That’s where Scavengings become handy to bring them back at the right moment to arm a Sentry or Veteran 
The Aggressor is a way of ensuring winning of some battles when armed it gives +2 strength to all minions.
Black land runner is not really important but can make good swarming late on the path when sure the minions will be less than the sites.
The rest of the Orcs are mainly for wounding.
The Unforgiving Depths helps me cycling using the muster keyword, and may help also to get rid of site’s advantage for the opponent, like forst sites for Nazis and Elves or Battlegound for Uruks.
Today I replaced 1 His father’s charge with 1 No quicker path, I think Gimli can have enough pumps + Forth The Three card. It’s Aragorn that usuallt takes the wounds to avoid overwhelming, and I find this my problem with many turns "Dudging Overwhelming" which makes me take many wounds and thrive to reach the next sanctuary. Here comes Farewaell to Lorien atthe final 3 sites to help, though it gives more twilight.
 That about all I do with the deck. I’d like to hear your opinion about my freeps side as well. How to do you compare Aragorn, swift hunter to Thorongil. Do you think Last Throw would help, or Radagast is enough. Do you think I still need cards like Retribution and Goblin Hordes. Do you think Aragorn, Strider fits better with Hobbits deck as a starting fellowship.
Is there a way to negate conditions/events/possessions effect instead of just trying to remove them
What’s a "Tengwar" ??
I hope to know if any other guys here play online, that would be great to know and to meet there for games.
AC, you are welcome to join our new guild there, it’s still new with few guys but we hope to make some good activities and organizing leagues and tourney with some pro guys there. Its name is Strider’s Abode. |

Well, since I have family and friends that play LOTR TCG in real life, I actually don’t play online too often (1-3 times a week, although sometimes I’ll go for months without playing). But yes, my nickname is the same there: AnxiousChieftain. Hopefully I can play you sometime.

A tengwar card uses Elvish Script instead of normal English. Here’s an example:
Aragorn, Ranger of the North (normal)
Aragorn, Ranger of the North (tengwar)

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.  |

Thanks guys for the explanation and awaiting your advices about the previous post.
AC, I am from Egypt, but I am usually playing online around USA evening time (like now), so it would be great if you give me heads up if you plan to be there sometime.
One question (as if there is not enough already  ), what’s the best way for my deck to deal with fierce minions, specially Gollum, Mad Thing + Shelob, Her Ladyship with LOTS of conditions. And also the fierce Nazguls decks. |

Multiple copies of Whatever End should help finish off minions. That’s just about all the advice I can offer for that problem.

As-Salamu Alaykum,
Hi guys,
I am puting a ring bearer killing deck, anybody can advise a card that can wound the ring bearer directly, Nazgul or Gollum culture would be very good. Thanks.
I shall put my ideas here later for your comments. |

Little Snuffler can work, unless your opponent is using The One Ring, The Ring of Rings.  |
