First thing I notice is that it's illegal - you have 5 copies of Gollum, the maximum is 4. I would either take out Threatening Guide or one of the Mad Things.

Second thing is that this deck doesn't have any card draw and not all that much cycling, so it seems to me that you'd be better off running a 30/30 deck, so I think you should cut 4 cards from each side. Play the deck a couple of times, work out which cards are least useful (I'm looking at Duality, Out of All Knowledge and Spider Poison here) and take them out so that you have the slimmest possible build, because that will also be the most reliable.

Some key cards: Don't Look at Them, Deceit, Incited.

Some key sites: Neekerbreekers' Bog, City Gates, Abandoned Mine Shaft.

Hope that helps.

Promise Keeping FTW! The heart of a Ninja Gollum deck.

I'd probably stick with burdens or wounding (possibly keeping Stinker). For the latter I'd suggest getting They Stole It and Not This Time! in there, and Incited to get YaLaaT back. Fat One Wants It is good too for more threats. Hidden Even From Her doubles the fun for Gollum, if he can win both skirmishes (e.g. with NTT then TSI, or with wounding then strength).

Steward's Tomb is a nasty drop at a sanctuary.

I would add a few They Stole It and Don't Look At Them. Does wonders in cycling, and if you have Naked Waste, use it from the hand or the discard.
