Trying out some Besiegers - Shadow Only
« on: June 18, 2010, 09:24:11 PM »
I've been working on this for a little while, and I think it needs to be tweaked some.

Sauron, The Lord of the Rings
Gorgoroth Berserker x2
Gothmog, Lieutenant of Morgul x2
Gorgoroth Troop x2
Troll of Gorgoroth, Abomination of Sauron x2
Mordor Pillager, x2
Gorgoroth Pillager x4
Siege Troop x3
Gorgoroth Aggressor x3
Ithil Stone
Gothmog's Warg
Grond, Hammer of the Underworld
Encirclement
Troop Tower x2
Great Siege Towers x2
Tower Walkway x2
Their Marching Companies
Din of Arms x2

I want to add a couple Great Hill Trolls, but I'm not sure what to take out.  I was thinking of taking out Gothmog's Warg, but I'm not sure what else.  Thoughts?

You can take out Great Siege Towers for them. Also, I'd take out the warg for another Ithil Stone.
I have a Besieger build I really like. If you want, I can post it.

I don't think Gothmog is necessary, given you already have berserkers and trolls and maiar. I think troop tower + Gorgoroth Assassin would get you more sites than Siege Troop or Mordor Pillager.

Two or three copies of Gorgoroth Agitator and one more Their Marching Companies would be nice.

A gollum with four CBTR and two FOWI is a nice seven card splash to get some threats happening for Gorgoroth Berserker (add another Berserker).

I'd take out the three Gorgoroth Aggressor (what is this guy?), both Mordor Pillager, three Gorgoroth Pillager and Gothmog's Warg. Maybe also take out the Great Siege Towers.

Maybe add some Gorgoroth Keeper and some Gorgoroth Soldier.

Gorgorth Agressors are actually supposed to be Gorgorth Agitator, but I typed it wrong. 

So I added another Their Marching Companies along with 3 Gorgoroth Keepers.

I got rid of Gothmog, Lieutenant of Morgul and his warg and the two Mordor Pillagers.

I can't add the Gollum cards because those are all in another deck right now.  Are they any other good Sauron cards for adding threats?

Or you can also just throw all strong Besiegers together like I do... Olog-Hai of Mordor, Great Hill Troll, Siege Troop, Gorgoroth Troop, Gothmog, LoM, Troll of Gorgoroth, Abomination of Sauron some fortifications, and Grond... Not really a killer Deck, but nice against non-tank-Decks and also good if you want your fewllowship running.

I think I'm going to try and add the Gorgoroth Solider, as well as a copy of Dead MarshesOlog-Hai of Mordor is a definite possibility.  I'm going to nix the Great Hill Troll idea because I forgot its condition removal only works on King block sites.

Definitely Gorgoroth Soldier and a Siege Commander over Gothmog's Warg and the pillagers.  Gorgoroth Swarm over Their Marching Companies and a Siege Troop or 2.
