Tentacle Gollum Deck
Sites
Dammed Gate Stream
Expanding Marshland
Mere of Dead Faces
Neekerbreeker’s Bog
West Gate of Moria
Please Recommend more Marsh Sites
Shadow side 40 cards
Foul Tentacle x4
Huge tentacle x4
Watcher in the Water Keeper of West Gate x2
Foul Things x4
Gollum, Plotting Deceiver x1
Gollum, Vile Creature x3
Fat One Wants it x1
Sweeter meats x2
Captured by the Ring x2
Hidden even from her x1
Hobbitses are Dead x2
It’s Mine x1
You’re a Liar and a Thief x4
Let Her Deal with Them x4
No End of Wickedness x3
Promise Keeping x1
The strategy to this deck came the Ninja Gollum when I realized how good Gollum is. Then I saw the card Let her deal with them and No end of wickedness and saw that Gollum went well with other minions; and that some of the Gollum pumps could play from the discard pile.
The tentacles are a very good example of swarm. I am surprised nobody has thought of them before... because of the marsh problem.
But that is solved by the FreePeoples being  . With that problem solved (almost) the tentacles have fair strength and Damage bonuses and can play each other from the Draw deck so you can overwhelm them early in the game.
Please Reply. And Suggest more cards. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

| This type of deck was popular when Battle of Helm’s Deep came out and largely resulted in the errata for Evil Smelling Fens. As such, this is still a good card to include in this strategy. |

I have more Watcher in the Water, Keeper of West Gate if you want them.
Here are all of the marsh sites from shadows that you don’t have Doors of Durin. ALso West Gate of Moria is NOT a marsh.
I would reccomend putting in a Shelob or 2.
If you have Web than Shelob, Eater of Light is good. |

I wanted to build such deck but...no small tentacles..P it was easier to collect huge tentacle than ordinary tentacle can you imagine?
What is errata to the Evil smell fens...i’ve never heard about it.
Your Gollum brings me idea to combine such strategy with Sauron Wraiths..they are usually weak and as stand-alone subculture rather useless. |

But the Small Tentacles go as a swarm with Watcher in the water as they are  and Strenght 6 and Damage +1. and as they can play each other you can get all of them out in one turn. One big smelly slimy family. |
