| Another weakness. archery and other various wounds, you had shadow phase but ther is more, archery, after exerting golloum, you can get killed by an archer, or hand axe or rohirrim javlin, this would be a bummer if you exerted him 3 times for something only to get him kill by a stray arrow, only 4 gollums 4 shelobs, that’s it for minions, if all your gollums get stuck in the bottom, that’s bad for you, even with the cards that can play him from your draw deck, I like this deck because I am trying to build a gollum deck and I think I will use some of this. I will either give you a 3 or a 4 depending on the other articles. |

Nice article. I like the decklists except for a few things...
First, you need Mumak Commander, Giant Among the Swertings in there - at least two of them. Now that Evil Smelling Fens is rotated, you need copies of the minion since you cant really play them from your discard pile.
Second - replace Gollum, Hopeless with Gollum, Mad Thing. Hopeless is neat, but in essence, useless in a ninja gollum deck. Mad Thing, however can get beastly with Hidden Even From Her, especially if they add burdens. 
Third - If you can, find a fellowship that cycles very well so you can afford to make the deck 36 - 36. That way you can add other neccesary cards to the shadow, like So Polite (you need at least 6 cards that pull Gollum from deck/discard pile), Black Gate Sentry (I like the thought of adding him in. Nice touch  ), and Final Strike, just in case.
And your comment about Little Snuffler and Gollum, DaD killing an alternate ring-bearer on turn one - there are a few problems:
1)Bilbo, Sam, Smeagol, and Gandalf are 4-vitality ARB’s
2)Only works if they are using Such a Weight to Carry
I like the concept though. 
I give you a five for reviving the ultimate shadow that was once dead. |

Thanks maxidoodle Let me comment on your post:
Quote: First, you need Mumak Commander in there - at least two of them. Now that Evil Smelling Fens is rotated, you need copies of the minion since you cant really play them from your discard pile.
I don’t have any copies of Mumak Commander in there. He is a good minion, but I would rather save space for other cards.
Quote: Second - replace Gollum, Hopeless with Gollum, Mad Thing. Hopeless is neat, but in essence, useless in a ninja gollum deck. Mad Thing, however can get beastly with Hidden Even From Her, especially if they add burdens.
They are both very nice, and I have used both extensively, but I’ve found that Hopeless is more effective, because more and more people are pumping ring-bearers up to enormous strengths.

Yes. You are right. This deck does very well with a deck like old-school ents using Saved from the fire to burn smeagol and cycle through the deck quickly. Final Strike is a good card, but I find it is not necessary that much.

Yes you are right about that, but notice that I said it is possible, not that it would always happen. Still, three wounds on their RB in one turn is not too shabby
Thanks for the great review,
