Why not replace Gollum, Mad Thing with Gollum, Vile Creature? Hopeless is good in case you run up against those pesky Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms knights. Gollum, Hopeless and Gollum, Vile Creature are also both 4 Vitality, so they can survive better into the regroup phase for Horribly Strong, or exert for Not This Time!

Also make sure that you’ve got ways to add burdens, so that Horribly Strong works on the new companions who have more than 6 resistance.

Web is a must-have, if only for a last resort. What if you have Gollum, unwounded, in the regroup phase, but didn’t draw Unseen Foe?

OK. What should I do? Should I take out Treacherous Little Toad to add in 1 web? The reason that I have Mad Thing in there is so I can get some burdens, but I could possibly splash in 1 Gollum, Stinker . . .

1 little, 2 little, 3 little Gollums...4 little, 5 little, 6 little Gollums... Laughing
Mad Thing doesn’t usually result in burdens. More often, your opponent will choose the strength bonus.

Hmm...I’m not sure what to replace for Web to go in. But I would recommend to take out one Enquea and put in something like Black Gate Sentry. Or, if you want to have fun with assignment, and you think you can get Shelob, Gollum, and Uruk Guard out at once, try that.

OK. I’ll take out 1 Enquea for 1 Black Gate Sentry, and then should I replace Mad Thing with Stinker?

That would work. Try it out, and see if you get enough burdens for horribly strong to work.

Do you think I should add 1 or 2 Hidden Even from her for Gollum recursion in the Shadow phase, or should I just use Captured by the ring?

I will try out the deck with Gollum, Mad Thing though, and see if I get enough burdens.

Hidden Even From Her isn’t a reliable recursion card. It only works against decks that violate the Rule of 5. Other cards to play Gollum, however, are We Must Have it, and So Polite.

I’ll just play the deck as I have it now, and make some more adjustments later.

HEFH also makes gollum fierce. I think that is the best part about the card.

Yeah I know. That rocks, but with a large fellowship, you can easily kill off a companion with it. I’ve done it a few times before.

Like I said though, I’m just going to make it like this for now:

Shadow (34)
1 Gollum, Dark as Darkness
1 Gollum, Mad Thing
1 Gollum, Hopeless
2 Fat One Wants It
3 Not This Time
3 Promise Keeping
4 Captured By The Ring
2 Plotting
3 Shelob, Her Ladyship
3 Little Snuffler
2 Unseen Foe
2 Incited
2 Horribly Strong
1 Web
1 Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul
1 Black Gate Sentry
2 Sudden Strike

And then I’ll see how it goes. Thanks for the advice everyone Very Happy.
