My Gollum Corruption/Elf Cirdan event deck
 
 
This deck is the upgraded version of the last deck I posted, The freeps is based around Cirdan’s  Event  ability, I know I need the Galadriel ARB but I am still trying to get it, this deck is sort of based around defeating Nazgul, but no that much. The shadow is something like Gollum corruption, although I still need more cards for it. Here it is:
 
Starting Fellowship
 
Frodo, Protected by Many 
 
The Ring, The Answer to all Riddles
 
Legolas, Prince of Mirkwood
 
Arwen, Staunch Defender 
 
 
Free Peoples

Cirdan, The Shipwright
 
Gil-Galad, High Elven King
 
Elven Warrior
 
Possessions
 
Elven Bow x4
 
Narya, Ring of Fire
 
Vilya, Ring of Air 
 
Aiglos
 
 
Condition
 
Measure of Comfort
 
 
Events
 
Defiance x4
 
Valor x4
 
Uncertain Paths x2
 
Break the Charge x2
 
Ancient Enmity
 
Supporting Fire
 
The seen and the unseen 
 
Farewell to Lorien
 
Double Shot
 
 
Shadow
 
Minions
 
Gollum, Old Villain
 
Gollum, Nasty Treacherous Creature
 
Gollum, Stinker
 
Gollum, Hopeless
 
Shelob, Last Child of Ungoliant
 
Shelob, Eater of Light
 
 
Conditions
 
Evil-Smelling Fens
 
Unabated in Malice
 
 
Possessions
 
Larder
 
Web
 
Spider Poison
 
 
Events
 
Captured by the Ring x4
 
You’re a Liar and a Thief x2
 
Hobbites are Dead x2
 
A Dark shape Sprang
 
Sudden Strike
 
Frenzied attack
 
Nasty, Foul Hobbites
 
We must have it
 
 
If you have any cards that you think I need, don’t hesitate to tell me. |

Honestly, I’d say your shadow needs more focus... Here’s my 2 cents... 
 
 
Gollum, Old Villain - drop
 
Gollum, Nasty Treacherous Creature  - drop
 
Gollum, Stinker -add another
 
Gollum, Hopeless 
 
Shelob, Last Child of Ungoliant - drop
 
Shelob, Eater of Light - drop
 
 
Add Shelob, Her Ladyship x3
 
 
Conditions 
 
Evil-Smelling Fens 
 
Unabated in Malice - Add 1. A guaranteed +2 and Damage can be nice!
 
 
Add Hidden Even From Her x1 or 2
 
 
Possessions 
 
Larder - Drop 
 
Web - Add Another
 
Spider Poison - Drop
 
 
Events 
 
Captured by the Ring x4 
 
You’re a Liar and a Thief x2 - Drop both
 
Hobbites are Dead x2 - drop both
 
A Dark shape Sprang 
 
Sudden Strike 
 
Frenzied attack - drop
 
Nasty, Foul Hobbitses - add another 2  
 
We must have it - add 1 
 
 
Cards you’ll want to add: Slippery As Fishes and/or Chasm’s Edge (3-4x each), Incited x2. A good splash minion would be Ulaire Attea, Second of the Nine Riders, because of his burden adding ability. Or maybe those old Easterlings that add a burden when assigned to an unbound companion, since theyre uncommon, it’d be easier on the wallet (especially when trying to get Slippery and Chasm...) 
 
 
The idea: Shelob excludes the strongest companion, then a beefed-up Gollum wins a skirmish adding a burden. You play Nasty, Foul Hobbitses to add another, then grab it back with Incited and play it again. Hope it helps! | 
 
Marcus: Our Snow Balrog would be a lot more impressive if it didn't keep melting.
 
Jason: Maybe if we used a little less lighter fluid...? |

| you need another copy of cirdan, otherwise your fellowship will be obliterated before you can get him out.  you need to add other multiple companions for drawing chances |

| Wait...why two of stinker, SnowBalrog? With cards like Captured By the Ring, he can pick which Gollum to play. That’s the essence of a Gollum deck. |

| Yes...although I think that Gollum corruption is currently not a viable way to win. Go for the wounding. |

| Stinker is the heart of the deck... There’s really only 1 or 2 other Gollums worth it in a corruption deck... Mad Thing and Hopeless. Oh that’s right!.. make it 1 Mad Thing, 1 Hopeless, and 1 Stinker. |

I was playing with this deck and wounding was awsome, I’m going to tinker a bit more on this, thanks for the insight, I gave you a coin SB. |

| Because Hopeless works wonders with pumped-up RBs. |
