| It looks good! I had to explain it to my brother for him to understand why you only have eight minions. |
One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One thing to bring them all
And In the darkness bind them |

It looks okay. I would remove Master Broke His Promise, Sweeter Meats and maybe Hobbitses Are Dead.
Instead of those, I would add some good wounding cards like Desert Lord, the new Mumak Commander from Hunters and Black Gate Sentry. Also, Fat One Wants It can help keep the threats rolling in. |

| Bib’s suggestions are good. If you are playing in expanded, you might also want to look at finding a spot for an Ulaire Enquea Lieutenant of Morgul as your anti-large fellowship is kind of weak. |

I know you play in expanded format but what really interests me is how to update this deck to post-hunters standard format.
I am currently building a Ninja Gollum deck myself but I can’t come to terms with whether I should stick with the old They Stole It/Promise Keeping comboor not .
The most obvious would be to replace They Stole It with Not this Time and then add cards able to add threats. Also Chasm’s Edge look interesting especially against ringbound hobbits. |

Allthough effective, the Promise Keeping / They Stole It combo requires you to ditch a lot of cards to kill off a healthy companion, which in turns almost guarantees you’ll be discarding a lot of cards that would help either side of your deck. Myself, I’m going the Not This Time! route, abusing threats to wound companions instead. Threats easily aquired with cards like Fat One Wants It, Captured by the Ring and Plotting.
Little Snuffler is also a good choice for such a shadow side too. A couple of carefully played Little Snufflers, can really mess up an Ithilien Blade deck!! Use Shelob’s text to make sure Eowyn cannot skirmish, use Little Snuffler to prevent the IB bearers from discarding your minions, let Shelob soak up archery wounds, and then let the fun begin  Of course, there’s always directed wounding/exerting to rpevent you from having a ball, but unfortunately you can’t win them all  |

I haven’t really finished designing this new Ninja Gollum build, but here is my draft so far:
4x 10R23 Shelob, Her Ladyship
1x 7R58 Gollum, Plotting Deceiver
1x 10R21 Gollum, Mad Thing
1x 15R43 Gollum, Hopeless
2x 8C30 Web
4x 7C53 Captured by the Ring
3x 13U52 Little Snuffler
3x 15U51 Sudden Strike
2x 15R53 Unseen Foe
2x 7R67 Plotting
3x 8R24 Promise Keeping
3x 15R47 Not This Time!
2x 7R57 Fat One Wants It
2x 11R44 Incited
As with all Ninja Gollum builds, this is a pretty rare intensive deck, but since you already have most of the rares from your previous build, it shouldn’t be much of a problem. |
