Heres a fun only deck, that works very well vs all non response rings, for a win on site 2 or 3 focused on Little Snuffler. Bid 1 go first, start East Wall of Rohan, double move unless it will literally end the game as you want them to play lots of freeps cards. Freeps is purely for insane drawing to get all your snuffler cards. I'd consider fitting Merry Loyal Companion in with 4 copies of the shire drawing follower.

Intrusting deck, I'd have to think about it :-k Does it work?
-
Works very well, it only has 1 major counter, Ring of Rings. I would recommend trying to Snuffler their most key companion if they have this ring. Luckily the Great Ring is quite popular now. Basically all you need is Gollum Dark as Darkness, and usually 2 copies of Little Snuffler, if you suspect you might get choked then you will also need some Led Astray.
-
pretty nice deck. :up:
you should add some stuff to change wounds into burdens if your opponent uses ring of rings.
for example Morgul Brute, Dark Temptation, Throne of the Dark Lord, Lingering Shadow, Undead of Angmar...
maybe take a look at GE's shadow (http://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/index.php?topic=264.0) (scroll a bit down)
-
Ok, first: Why Gimli, BoG? He is a total of Resistance 7. Not to mention, every time he fights you have to add 2 burdens or 2 threats.
second: You have no burden removal.
third:Nice shadow.
Fourth: Why Gimli's Battle Axe Vicious Weapon? Use either Gimli's Battle Axe or Gimli's Battle Axe, Trusted Weapon.
-
@ Aragorn_Ellessar :
because his fellowship is only for cyceling and card-drawing which is essential for the shadow ;)
-
Oh. Well in that case, how many sites will it take on a bad day to kill your opponent?
Because even if his fellowship is only for cycling and card-drawing, he could be in trouble by site 2. I say you could still change your Gimli's Battle Axe, Vicious Weapon for Gimli's Battle Axe, Trusted Weapon.
-
On a bad day it will take until site 3 to finish opponent, but usually site 2. Some of those cards are nice King89, but don't belong in this deck which must focus on site 2 win. My freeps is very ordinary, but that doesn't matter as with 9 companions they always last until site 4, which is all that matters. Gimli is actually only resistance 5, which should be enough for your shadow to still win vs corruption. I have slightly improved the freeps for better cycling and can bid 2 to ensure goes first for best shadow setup:

Now that freeps looks like it could work.

nice... :-)
@Aragorn_Ellessar: your new avatar makes me *wooooozyyy*
-
Thank you :)

For a little snuffler death I would recommend a Saved from the Fire twist. Sorry to bring it up, because it ofcourse well known to you, but by burning Smeagol you have access to those cards. You see the great ring, get 3 Little Snufflers and you're done
-
I used to use this but found it not as reliable because the opponent sees exactly what you have planned and won't give you enough twilight until region 2 which is too late.
-
True, you give away certain info. But still, it depends on the ring of choice. If your opponent has a none response ring, you're set. A friend of mine kicked my behindparts this weekend with such a deck. He started with Smeagol, got there is another way, burned smeagol, put down the site which costs 4 in the regroup.
Most of us start a 3 comp. starting fellowship, so I would have made at least 7 pool. Then he got Led Astray..well, you can imagine what happened. It is the best way to powerlaunch Ninja Gollum, whether you grab Deceit, Promise Keeping, Fat one wants it, Not this Time, Little Snuffler....it all depends on what you've got in hand. Oh, and treacherous little toad is a good one as well.
