There are cards which may work well in this deck:
1) Caradhras Has Not Forgiven Us - usually this deck leaves many companions exhausted, but it's hard to generate enough wounds to kill anybody; I think Fires and Foul Fumes is unplayable (four orcs in regroup + four tokens in pool - for me impossible) - I would replace Fires with Caradhras
2) Trapped and Alone (3 u 72) - without damage bonuses it's more likely to survive skirmishes (btw this card may have funny impact on Gimli ring-bearer - think about it)
3) Axes - I wouldn't use them; the only real chance is to swarm fp with many orcs and axes won't help you. I would replace them with Hollowing of Isengard x2 and Tower of Orthanc x1
4) Saruman Servant of the Eye - he is awesome, my favourite trick is to use him to assign Orc Overseer to a weak companion and after that comes regroup action
5) maybe you should drop one Gnawing... and put one more Warrior
6) btw Warrior is for me a bit... weak; there are so many companions with str. 6, I think Isengard Servant is much better - costs one more, but has str. 7 and sometimes may win skirmishes (which means two more wounds - won skirmish and regroup action)
And one thing more - this deck has no chance against large fellowships so adding Greed x1 is obvious
Overall, I like the idea of this deck. I played some time ago against such stuff and I lost ( I remember btw that it ended with a quarrell because it was not clear if a common ring can be put on in regroup to "transform" wounds into burdens)
Good luck with playing this "fun" deck |
