I have a very similar shadow and here are the differences, just 1 copy of DaD, no Sweeter Meats (you have His Terrible Servants), no Stronghold of Minas Morgul. Instead I run 2 copies of Wraith World (I won many a game with that card... such a nice surprise, especially against alternate RB-s), 1 or 2 copies of Flung Into the Fray (having Morgul Brute on Flung Into the Fray is one of the best combos there are), 4x Fell Beast (Lord of the Nazgul on Fell Beast is probably the best nazgul), 1x Ring of Rancor (helps bring Lord of the Nazgul in hand), 1x Morgul Skulker. Sometimes I also run Wormtongue and Saruman's Power.

the goal is to kill the RB in the regroup phase with gollum, DAD not a more corruption based side like your suggesting

The only thing corrupting in my deck is Wraith World and you'll notice through gameplay that you add a lot a of burdens, but most often not enough. Wraith World is there to tip that scale if needed.

I still think that most of what I suggested would serve you much better in killing the RB than insisting on killing it with Gollum, DaD in regroup phase. You have very little chance of doing that because there is very little chance of Gollum surviving.

If you really want Gollum, DaD to be the one to kill the RB in regroup phase, you'd have much more chance with Isengard Orc Swarm with Library of Orthanc. Here Gollum has a decent chance of survival to regroup phase (you assign most minions to the companion skirmishing Gollum to ensure victory) and then kill the RB. Library of Orthanc/Isengard Tender/Gollum, DaD is one nasty combination. Also note that you can add the needed twilight with Gollum, DaD if there are some burdens.

It isn't too hard to make Gollum survive. They Stole It can kill a companion before they get to Gollum, and he also has You're A Liar and a Thief, Promise Keeping, and if you want to prevent the wounds, Sweeter Meats.

I have seen a few very good decks with Gollum's Regroup action killing the Ring-Bearer.

Gollum can be very powerful with the right support like those conditions you numbered, but I don't see those cards in this deck and it's not difficult to assign Gollum to a companion with 10str or one with enough dmg bonus.

I think They Stole It and Promise Keeping solve that problem pretty handily. No one likes to see his or her ace companion get killed.

Edit: You don't need four copies of Gollum and three Captured By the Rings. Drop three Gollum, add one Captured By the Ring and two We Must Have It if you want to play him nearly every turn, or better yet, drop three Gollum add two They Stole It and one Promise Keeping.

They Stole It and Promise Keeping are not that useful without each other and he'd need plenty copies of both which makes a different kind of deck and I don't think that's what he had in mind. Although, you now gave me an idea to make a deck with regroup RB kill Gollum, DaD using Promise Keeping to exhaust the RB.

It just occurred to me that if you really can keep Gollum alive until the regroup phase, you'd be better of with a copy or 2 of Web to keep Gollum coming back than with so many copies of Gollum and CbTR.

thus, we must have it over cbtr... since you can use it as pumps to prevent gollum from being overwhelmed
