1x •Gollum, Mad Thing(10R21)
1x •Gollum, Old Villain(6C40)
1x •Gollum, Plotting Deceiver(7R58)
This gollum plays just on shadow wounding with little snuffler and horribly strong. Some events to bring gollum back as do the gollum, plotting deceiver to come by itself.
But old villain can win skirmishes too. I have to set up my fellowship fast than i can wound fast on the sites 2 and 3 and discard the rest to fast setup fellow to bring them back later...
Fellowship is ring bound hobbits but with the killer smeagol! BIlbo and consorting with wizards to choke my opponent, sam to heal himself and give strenght to my smeagol.
Smeagol MUST win the skirmishes to bring the little snuffler and horribly strong back, as do the captureds to add threats. Led astray is there to play Doorway to doom several times... saruman to do 2 exertions with isengard ruined and this is my idea!
at the end of game I have only shadow in my hand and normally just captureds, horribly strong and little snuffler. and my old villain to get rid of the RB...
Suggestions?

My suggestions:
Use Sam, Great Elf Warrior instead, and drop a Hobbit Sword for another Nice Fish (maybe even 2). Gives you a 6-strength Sam to start with, which ain't bad. And IF you can find room, A Promise is very nice in a deck like this. A few of those and a sword can turn Sam into a respectable fighter if Smeagol can't handle everything.
For the Shadow side, consider Not This Time!, a wonderful way to use those threats added by Fat One Wants It and Captured By The Ring. I'd drop a couple FOWI to get a couple Not This Time in. Also maybe toss in a couple Treacherous Little Toad to keep sanctuaries or other healing from bringing companions back from the brink if you can't lay that last wound or two on them early enough.
Other than that, it looks good. Unless I happen to ever play against it, in which case it looks bad, very bad.

I've killed a 9-companions rohan deck with this little buddy!
My fellowship isn't that good, i just want to smeagol win to bring back my shadow cards... and KILL.
I throw steward's tomb at site 3 to kill fast and overwhelm the rb with old villain... or kill with the threats!
but i liked your idea of using treacherous little toad.. maybe i'll put a couple of them... thx :)
