Title: Help with Enduring Nazgûls
Post by: Thorondir on June 18, 2019, 08:28:41 AM
Hi there.

This is my expanded shadows of enduring nazgûls. It's been a while I don't play it and now I want to improve it. Any ideas? I mostly win by corruption, but I feel there are some loose cards, like Úlairë Attëa, Second of the Nine Riders (so difficult to trigger it with so many big guys in Fellowship)...

Shadow Draw Deck:

3x The Witch-king, Captain of the Nine Riders
2x Úlairë Attëa, Second of the Nine Riders
1x Úlairë Cantëa, Black Assassin
1x Úlairë Cantëa, Thrall of the One
1x Úlairë Enquëa, Lieutenant of Morgul
3x Úlairë Enquëa, Thrall of the One
1x Úlairë Lemenya, Thrall of the One
2x Úlairë Nelya, Thrall of the One
1x Úlairë Toldëa, Black Shadow
1x Úlairë Toldëa, Messenger of Morgul
1x Úlairë Toldëa, Thrall of the One
1x Úlairë Toldëa, Winged Sentry
2x The Pale Blade, Sword of Flame
1x Ithil Stone
1x Ring of Rancor
1x Between Nazgul and Prey
1x Dark Fell About Him
4x Keening Wail
2x Minas Morgul Answers
1x Relentless Charge
2x Lingering Shadow
2x Sense of Obligation
1x The Ring Draws Them

I used to run enduring nazgul corruption on standard back on GCCG, and I have a few tips.

I used to focus on Enquea, ToTo + Dark Fell About Him with Lingering Shadow for corruption.

I'd definitely run more of those.

Nertea, Dark Horseman + Saruman, SoS sets it up nicely, makes it easier to both get Lingering Shadow on desirable companions and to exhaust them.

I would not be overly focused around the enduring keyword, if you want to win with corruption focus around that. They Feel the Precious is nice to protect Enquea and Nertea, a Gollum splash can also be invalueable.

Toldea, Black Shadow can also be very helpful in returning key events. Also enables a strong line of Too Great and Terrible (you gonna want that in competitve expanded).

Winged Mount is also a nice addition, protects key nazgul and protects from clogging.

I ran a mix of Nelya, ToTo and Nelya, Third of the Nine Riders as site manipulation is invalueable in expanded.

Ring of Terror is always nice in expanded. Lemenya, ET also worths consideration. I'd also run Morgul King over the toli version of WK. You will hardly ever win in expanded with enduring nazgul beatdown.

To summarize it I'd say the key components are: protecting key nazgul and controling the assignment without clogging your hand.
