Like it was said before, Red Wrath is a nasty trick.

I use Lindenroot for forced cycling. Target him, not Gandalf who is likely to be heavily healed.

If you play swarm, how can you win? I guess a The Number must be few played at the right moment (even if it gets discarded) can do it if you can move fast with your fellowship.

I just beat Ents with [Moria] at site 9 with a swarm. Host of Fangorn was out too. But I think I ended up with 12 minions against 8 companions and that was [barely] enough. Just bide your time hold onto one They Are Coming just in case, and be prepared for a site 9 swarm.

I had decked out but used Goblin Sneak to put some guys beneath my deck and grabbed Goblin Scavengers and Goblin Scimitars to recycle minions. Host of Moria and the Balrog, Terror of Flame and Shadow helped too.

A deck full of gigantic minions or direct-wounding should do the trick.  A friend of mine had an ent deck that I kept getting crushed by, so finally I just threw together a cheap 62-card deck with a survivable Fellowship, and for the Shadow, I literally had nothing but huge minions, direct-wounding and pumps.  It ended up being a rainbow deck and brutalized his ents.

As a side note, the deck was useless everywhere else, but it was fun to make a deck specifically designed to target another deck... bwahaha!

I don't consider that to be fun.... but I'm glad you had fun doing it.

In my defense, I dismantled the deck after I beat him a few times with it, just to be fair.

Save the Cheerleader, save the World!...oh no, that was from heroes. Key-hero in Ents is Gandalf though, and when you nuke him, your odds just went up. Enquea multiple times, Fierce in Despair, direct wounding via Hate, that kind of stuff.

definitely direct wounding, isengard orcs work well too cause besides huron and ent draught ents can't really get damage

I think IzOrcs works terribly bad vs ents... especially if you play swarm/wounding cuz they are so small that they all get overwhelmed before regroup.
