Moria Swarm - Shadow (Expanded)

[wrigh516]

As the physical cards are getting harder to find these days, I gathered a large physical collection of common and nostalgic decks to play with family and friends as a pre-built game.  I'm posting these decks as a reference and for feedback.
The decks are split into free peoples and shadow sides, all interchangeable at 35 (36 as I added more cycling and discard decks) cards each.  There are some obvious drawbacks to doing it this way, but it is 100% worth it to allow mixing/matching.  It allows enough combinations to keep each game unique and interesting.  The idea is to have thematic and fun strategies while maintaining a balance.  These are built with physical cards, so any in the $150+ range are not always going to make it in due to the costs and to maintain balance among the decks.  I follow the Expanded format and rules before errata, but some decks might also fit into other formats.  This is one of those decks:

Moria Swarm - Shadow (Expanded)
This is a classic Moria swarm.

Minions:
The Balrog, Terror of Flame and Shadow
Host of Moria x2
Goblin Scavengers x4
Goblin Wallcrawler x4
Goblin Runner x4
Goblin Sneak x4
Guard Commander

Possessions:
Goblin Scimitar x4

Events:
Host of Thousands x4

Conditions:
Relics of Moria
Goblin Armory x3
Goblin Swarms x2
The Underdeeps of Moria
They are Coming


Strategy:
This is a basic Moria swarm.  Relics of Moria and Goblin Armory, along with Goblin Scavengers and Goblin Scimitar, are the bread and butter.
The Underdeeps of Moria with Goblin Sneak can keep a good swarm up if you're short on cards.


It could use more cards, but the rules for this collection is 36, so sacrifices had to be made.
The Guard Commander is vital in practice, so it might be good to add another one.  Another Goblin Armory is always an option too.  Relics of Moria is r-listed.
I have had Foul Things in here at times for the ability to retrieve a big boy when I want, but I found that just using Host of Thousands and Guard Commander was deadly too.
Cave Troll of Moria, Scourge of the Black Pit is also an option in this.

I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
