Help with "Sauron the lord of the rings" deck

[caferazzi]

I want to make a deck with "Sauron the lord of the rings", so if you guys can help me, what do you guys sugest in this deck to be functional (in mind that sauron must be the theme)?

I'm not entirely sure, but I think you'll probably want burden and and threat adding, and site control, just to bring his twilight cost down. Also probably throw in SotDL, for obvious reasons. I'll get back to you on this one.

Its a good idea to choose one of these strategys...
But what cards should we use?

[JamesCB]

So far I got something like this, but it definitely needs some work.
TLOTR x4
Sceptre of the Dark Lord x3
Throne of the Dark Lord x2
The Ring is Mine x3
Desperate Defense of the Ring x3
Thin and Stretched x2
Orc Ambusher x3
Orc Assassin x3
Mordor Regular x3
Mordor Savage x3
Orc Pursuer x3

Freeps would have to be something with good cycling (dwarves maybe...)

How about Ithil Stone for card draw and lowering Sauron's cost?  I think threats may work best as a strategy here, since you can use them to reduce Sauron's cost and then likely distribute once Sauron's out and killing peeps.  Maybe Mordor Regular / Mordor Defender for cheap threats.  Or there could be a Gollum TG / Captured by the Ring combo for adding threats.

That's smart. I didn't really look past cards, just because there are so many.
