As some Expanded players have probably done, I have tried
Demoralized Lurker Swarm multiple times, occasionally with success, but never really consistently.
Mountain-Troll is really the best recursion/hand extension, and he costs

. Also,
Deep in Thought and
Namarie were running rampant, and recurring guys with
Goblin Hordes was not a permanent option. Since the swarm was inconsistent, I shelved it.
Then I found
Determined Uruk. He will draw a card for ever exertion you can make them take, which is a key part of a Lurker Swarm, and he's a cheap minion. The only problem is that he has to spot another

minion. However, there are several
![Uruk-hai [Uruk]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/uruk.png)
minions that are beneficial to a Lurker Swarm.
Uruk-Hai Scout can make any site Underground or Battleground, enabling
Rallying Orc.
Watchman Uruk can be more card draw and a cheaper minion.
Greed is a strong Ents or Madril counter.
The fellowship is designed to set up a good hand to be able to swarm and keep the pressure on your opponent to move quickly and flood easily. It can double easily, and is pretty good against most shadows.

Unforgiving DepthsHaven't tested this much yet, mostly looking for suggestions. If your suggestion is to just play normal lurker swarm, this is mainly a fun and quirky deck, not a competitive one.
