Pipeweed Ents - Troll Swarm

[MuadDib85]

This deck uses Ship of Smoke to set up your fellowship and run to nine first. With the first Momentous Gathering grab Gandalf, Leader of The Company and Ship of Smoke. It is great when you draw Pipeweeds with Ship of smoke and continue to cycle through. Sure you'll loose some trolls, but there are plenty more. So far I have 3/3 wins with this, all with the fellowship and even against site manipulating/nine-companion-hating nazgul. As far as ent decks in standard goes, this one is up there.. Please let me know what you think.

1x *Orkish Warg-Master (17R87)?
4x Relentless Warg (17R89)?
Huh? Explain please ^^

And I might just be blunt, but isn't swarm supposed to be a whole lot of minions? What I see here is you tossing some power houses down, but not so much a swarm. I could be wrong, if that is the case, explain pls. ^^

And wouldn't 0 Anduin Banks (11U227) do more harm to you than your opponent (since u have such a big... um... fellowship)? Just wondering, elaborate once again if I am mistaken.

Troll's Keyward, Keeper of The Beast

Perhaps you are not familiar with his amazing twilight adding ability..

This is what you want in your hand:
1x Troll's Keyward, Keeper of The Beast
1x Relentless Warg (or Vicious Warg)
6x Trolls

Use the Keyward's text to add 24 twilight and play all of the trolls at once. Repeat until everyone is dead.

I use the Orkish Warg-Master as a preference to bring a warg back in a pinch for the Keyward.

You are maybe right on Anduin Banks but it can be the difference between the trolls killing a bunch of people or just doing some damage.

Omg, I'm such a moron. :S I didn't see the Troll's Keyward, Keeper of The Beast. Makes more sense now, sorry for the dumb questions. :S

There are no dumb question . This is a powerful deck, and I like to see no conditions...just clubbering through!
