Title: Gate of Mordor Idea
Post by: Kralik on February 21, 2009, 07:40:45 PM: Had an interesting idea for this site:

In Expanded, how about a deck that plays conditions/possessions/artifacts from each of the 10 Shadow cultures? Play with Site-Controlling Nazgul and Moving This Way to cycle. Traveled Leader or something similar for Freeps. Ideally you would be adding 8-12+ twilight each move for site. Is this doable? :hey: Ideas for useful cards may be Hides, Ithil Stone, Howdah, Moving This Way... pack full of Nazgul minions to drop when the twilight is right.

EDIT: Fixed card title.

doesn't make much sense to me, because it's much easier to make up to 10 twilight pool... sorry

Post by: Elessar's Socks on February 22, 2009, 06:14:15 AM: *LOL*... Tentacle swarm FTW!

40 cards.

4 Foul Tentacle
4 Huge Tentacle
4 Reaching Tentacle
4 Strong Tentacle
4 Watcher in the Water, Many-Tentacled Creature
1 Gollum, Old Villain (Her Sneak)

1 Hides ([Dunland])
4 Evil-smelling Fens ([Gollum])
1 Library of Orthanc / Throne of Isengard ([Isengard])
1 Ceremonial Armor / Wildman's Oath ([Men])
1 Durin's Tower ([Moria])
1 Destroyers and Usurpers ([Orc])
1 Corsair War Galley ([Raider])
1 Grond, Hammer of the Underworld / Throne of the Dark Lord ([Sauron])
1 Dark Alliance ([Uruk])
1 A Shadow Rises ([Wraith])

4 Captured by the Ring
2 Led Astray

Completely untested and perhaps completely doomed, but there's an idea.

I'll have to try to make one and then playtest it.
I'm thinking an extra 10 pool every Shadow phase a turn would make a substantial difference... ;)

Post by: Not a Zombie on February 22, 2009, 09:06:53 AM: only if you can use it all. do something like sting of shelob :uh-huh: or fierce in despair with some high vitality high strength raiders. Or like above, but with 4x a shadow rises.
