Title: Forced Uruk Assignment
Post by: Creator on November 08, 2017, 02:04:29 PM
I'm looking for a decent fellowship to pair with this Shadow:

3x Berserk Slayer
2x Grima, Wormtongue
2x Lieutenant of Orthanc
4x Saruman, Servant of the Eye
4x Uruk Ravager
3x Uruk Runner
3x Uruk-hai Berserker
3x Bill Ferny, Swarthy Sneering Fellow

4x Broad-bladed Sword
4x Bred for Battle
2x Saruman's Power

It's a really fun Shadow (if not ultra-competitive) that revolves around using Saruman, SotE and Bill Ferny, SSF to force unexpected overwhelms with berserkers and Bred for Battle. It's unusual, fun to play and can be a real show-stopper at Site 5 with a good draw.

I'd like to pair it with a fellowship that can stand on its own two feet and cycles really well. I'm currently using an Aegnor, Elven Escort + Legolas, Archer of Mirkwood combo with tons of archers and healing to debuff enemies, but it produces quite a lot of twilight and has absolutely no game against certain Shadows.

Does anyone have suggestions as to what freeps to pair this Shadow with?

You are doing yourself a disservice by not running at least one copy of Greed and one copy of Uruk-Hai Rampage.

I posted two topics before a Noble Leaders deck with some elfs and The Last Alliance of Elves and Men. You can drop one or two cards to fit it to your deck size. It really works well and does not have many cards to stuck in your hand because you can play almost everything immediately or stack it on The Shards of Narsil.

Maybe one Bred for Battle and one Uruk Runner. Why not also using Orthanc Champion. Same effect as Saruman and works nice with Broad-bladed Sword

Saved from the Fire does a great job of course. I use it to set up a strong Gandalf/Gondor fellowship. Low on conditions and possessions, mainly artifacts and events.
