Sauron's Burden-fueled Swarm (Need YOUR help!)

[putridbreath]

Hi all!

This is a shadow I've cooked up recently is a Sauron Orc Swarm fueled by burdens. Key is to add burdens then use Enduring Evil to take down key comps, draw cards with Grishnakh, The Eye of Sauron, etc. Yes, I have only one Grishnakh--I can add three more. And I can only add one more DDotR--other than that anything goes. I'm trying to pair this shadow with an Echo of Luthien - Mallorn-trees fellowship so I'd like to increase the card drawing capacity, focus more on tracker orcs and keep the burden element while stretching it to 38 cards total. Any suggestions are appreciated!!!
I looked back on this tread and found a topic for a very similar shadow by GloinTheDark way back on the last page--it can surely help with ideas too:

This is what I've been playing with and it's been successful (though could still use tons of improvement)
(33)
3x Orc Pursuer
2x Orc Chaser
2x Orc Taskmaster
2x Orc Marauder
2x Orc Officer
3x Wisp of Pale Sheen
2x Mordor Warrior
1x Orc Patrol
1x Gollum Stinker
1x Orc Insurgent
1x Morgul warden
1x Orc Trooper
1x Grishnakh, Orc Captain
1x Ulaire Enquea, LoM

1x DDotR
1xThin and Stretched
1x The Ring is Mine
1x Grond
2x Teeth of Mordor
2x Enduring Evil
1x The Eye of Sauron
1x Hate

I know I went wild on the minions--trying out everything to see what worked. I'm definitely adding more Grishnakh. I got the "surprise" enduring evil kill when an orc officer was out for an effective corruption once.

I say you need at least three copies of Desperate Defense of the Ring. Don't forget that you can stack two on a Durin III or Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien or whatever as you see fit.

I would probably rather see another Enduring Evil than one Hate.

Three Grishnakh, Orc Captain would be ideal, with two or three Orc Patrol.

I would add a copy of Evil-Smelling Fens and a few Captured By the Ring. And maybe a Heavy Burden. Those cards can replace the two Teeth of Mordor and Orc Trooper and Morgul Warden. What's the other initiative Orc (strength +8)? I'd rather see him than Orc Marauder.

This, I think, is how I would run it:

Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul x2
Grishnakh, Orc Captain x3
Orc Patrol x2
Orc Officer x3
Orc Stalker x4
Orc Chaser x4
Orc Pursuer x4
Dunlending Rampager x3
Dunlending Renegade x3

Desperate Defense of the Ring x4
Teeth of Mordor x2
Dead Marshes

Enduring Evil x4

That's 39 cards, which (if I remember correctly) is exactly the size of your secret Free Peoples side is.

Haha, thanks a ton-- I totally forgot about those Dunlenders! Swarm was my ultimate goal so it makes sense to use them in conjunction with what I already had.

Ket you forgot Thin and Stretched.

[ket_the_jet]

Well, I actually purposely negated Thin and Stretched. It is helpful for Alternate Ring Bearers, but I'd rather not run it unless corruption was my goal.
