Title: Sauron Swarm
Post by: sharkey on December 15, 2009, 05:51:06 AM: Here is my Sauron Swarm deck, which works in conjunction with a card cycling dwarven deck. Between the two, I can cycle through my deck pretty quickly. I like it, but something is missing. It doesn't work against decks with The One Ring, The Great Ring as well, or deck that focus on strengthening the ringbearer. Advice?

35 cards

Minions:
Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Goldur x3 (or 4)
And 20, 1 to 2 twilight minions. (Preferably trackers, and more of the one twilight. Ideal minion: Orc Ambusher)

Conditions:
The Dark Lord's Summons
Spies of Mordor x4

Events:
Forces of Mordor x3
Seigcraft x2
Southern Spies x2

Any other advice on what to replace Southern Spies with? I wanted something that would provide some extra punishment when assigned to the RB, and it also helps prevent any nasty events from popping up.
