10 to 14 burdens???
I’m scared of playing against you. |

Open with Turbo Corruption. The only way to play. When people catch on with how to beat that, switch to discard/initiative orcs/Sauron Corruption. Watch the deck disappear quickly or the burdens start to fly... What fun! |

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. |

4x Desperate Defense of the Ring
1x Thin and Stretched
3x Tower of Barad-Dur
1x The Irresistible Shadow
2x Dead Marshes
4x Orc Chaser
3x Orc Pursuer
3x Orc Stalker
2x Grishnakh, Orc Captain
3x Orc Butcher
3x Orc Inquisitor
2x Orc Officer
2x Enduring Evil
You either wind up discarding your hand, giving me initiative, cheap orcs and the potential for an easy overwhelm with an Orc Officer on the table or adding burdens like crazy which makes Enduring Evil quite effective. Only down side is mass condition removal, which is why there are a couple of Dead Marshes. I have won with the alternate win condition on The Irresistible Shadow once or twice, which is quite fun. More fun is overwhelming a ringbearer with a 6 strength orc and 2 Enduring Evil with 10 burdens... -20 strength for you! This is especially fun vs Alternate Ring bearers |

You know, I posted my decklist for a sauron corruption in my article (poor article, okay, but good deck!) |
