Title: Helelelelelp. Need a new minion side.
Post by: Aragorn_Ellessar on March 28, 2009, 11:28:12 AM

Need something that isn't expensive at all. It would go with my Elven Archery/Telepathy deck.

 If your using Elven use Nazgul or Morc archery. :up:

hang on, i have a morc deck that i really like, but i'll have to dig up the decklist. i paired it with a knight/ranger deck in standard format. but the shadow is obviously expanded legal, and might even be king-block and movie legal. i'll have to check.

might be missing some good cards

2-3 Gorbag, Covetous Captain
3 morgul whelp --- this is a must, there is no way round
1 •Stooping to the Kill (maybe, I use it likely)

I prefer a more skirmish based version.....with medium archery

and a gollum twist Dark as Darkness, to keep wounds on the RB and to add threats

 Defineatly add Stooping to the Kill. Also, might consider Ring of Aspherity and Swarming Like Beetles :up:

Could we try to keep it as un-rare as possible? I don't have that many cards.

Title: Re: Helelelelelp. Need a new minion side.
Post by: Gil-Estel on March 29, 2009, 01:19:00 PM

Morcs are good without rares...key is to get initiative with Streaming to the Field, which is an unc. Other possible minions are:

4x Morgul Ambusher
4x Morgul Banner-bearer
4x Morgul Creeper
4x Morgul Destroyer
4x Morgul Lurker
4x Morgul Whelp

All common or unc.. With a few nazguls and Black Marshall you can add more twilight and thus more minions...think you can be very cheap ;D

I suggest Uruk Trackers - if you want an expanded format: they are cheap and good!

3x Ugluk
3x Mauhur
4x Weary
2x What did you discover
3x Uruk Plains Runner
3x Uruk Searcher
3x Uruk Chaser
2x Kill them now
2x Vengeance
...

what also is really cheap would be a man swarm with last days, goaded to war, crazed hillman and rampaging easterling... maybe some of those hunter men like bold easterling too.

Couple more ideas. Moria swarm is an old standby; when your options are limited, spam minions and run. Relics of Moria (restricted) and The Underdeeps of Moria should be really cheap now, too.

Base 30 cards, but you'll deck out so increase as needed.

4 Goblin Runner
4 Goblin Scavengers
4 Goblin Sneak
4 Goblin Wallcrawler
4 Moria Scout
2 Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul
4 Goblin Scimitar
2 They Are Coming
2 Host of Thousands

Sneak the Sneaks for one last hurrah.

Might be able to make something out of Nazgul, too, only I'm not sure what passes for cheap beatdown nowadays. Here's a try:

32 cards.

4 Black Rider
3 Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul
3 Ulaire Lemenya, Lieutenant of Morgul
3 Ulaire Nelya, Third of the Nine Riders
3 Ulaire Toldea, Eighth of the Nine Riders
3 Fell Beast
2 Black Breath
1 Hatred Stirred
4 Lost in the Woods
2 Not Easily Destroyed
2 All Blades Perish
2 Houses of Lamentation

Nelya and Toldea get forests onto the site path to power up LitW. NED combos with Enquea, and can help against U/C knights. :P

Thanks! Something that I have most of the cards for.
