Sauron Orcs that add threats, overwhelm companions, and eventually corrupt the ring-bearer! Not a besieger in sight, this isn’t your typical Sauron Orc deck.
--- end description ---

Hey guys, this is my first real attempt at making a Sauron

deck. Let me know if there’s any cards I might get my hands on or change in the deck. The Freeps side uses A New Light to get back minions. (Gosh I love that card, though it wouldn’t be as useful if Decipher actually worded it the way it was meant to be worded.)

Minions (24)

Orc Officer x4
Mordor Veteran x4
Mordor Guard x4
Orc Rager x4
Mordor Warrior x2
Mordor Assassin x2
Advance Marauder x2
Orc Assault Band
Orc Savage

Conditions (2)

Barren Land x2

Events (4)

The Ring Is Mine! x4

Possessions (1)

Grond, Hammer of the Underworld

Artifacts (3)

Throne of the Dark Lord x2
Ithil Stone

It’s simple, straight-forward, and has the possibility to really dominate. Exert 3 Sauron

orcs with Mordor Guard to add 3 threats, use Mordor Veteran to remove those threats to make a Sauron

orc strength +8, and when a Sauron

orc overwhelms a companion, Orc Officer makes them pay by adding 3 burdens. Each time they do, play The Ring Is Mine! to add salt to their wounds. Throne of the Dark Lord can be the game-ender for a region 3 or 2 corruption (Rarely a region 1 corruption). Ithil Stone and Barren Land help you to get more minions out for exerting with Mordor Guard. Mordor Assassin goes on the ring-bearer each time you overwhelm a companion, for a potential RB kill. Advance Marauder, Orc Assault Band, and Orc Savage are really due to lack of options. Though 4 Orc Savages would really be what I want in that slot of 4 minions. Twisted Evil

Grond to keep conditions/possessions in check. So, I know this deck may have some flaws, anybody have any suggestions?

I would cut the advance marauder and the mordor warrior and replace those with mordor trooper x4.

If you have enough vitality to add 3 threats twice (meaning 6 threats), the veteran will give you a + 16 strenght, while the trooper hase the potential to give you + 18, and have 8 of those cards helps you having the right combo right on time.

Oh and for the marauder, +6 is good but you NEED your vitality to exert for the mordor guard.

Remember, both are skirmish abilities, you can 1st add threats, then remove them, then add some more to remove them again, so the more vitality you have, the better it is.

I don’t like Mordor Trooper’s 2 vitality. The main focus was to get all 3 costing 9 strength 3 vitality orcs, because it’s the cheapest 3 vitality you’re gonna get out of Sauron

. (Unless I’m missing some really good cards from my binder)

I used to use a deck like this and with Orc Officer you have to use Enduring evil. Its a simple powerful combo. Stick some of those in and youre well away, nice deck.
