Mind and Body

In Standard, you could get this to work with Ulaire Nelya, Fell Rider and Shadowy Mount

In our game I thought it was bad luck you didn't pull NFFATROD, but now I see you don't have any. I think it would really help. Skirmish healing would allow you to use Gandalf's Staff and Merry much more effectively.

NFFATROD will find a place. Not drawing Gandalf's Pipe at all didn't help either.. Besides that, for a first play I was very happy in general with the way things went for both fellowship and shadow.

Maybe a fourth Witch-King or third Morgul Skulker will find a place too. Lord of The Nazgul on Fell Beast is great fun!


Edit: After a game I have modified the deck again in the original post. I will test it like this and see how it goes.. Seems like a good deck for Wizard's Pupil.. Although Troll of Cirith Gorgor .

Just played a game with this and won with Site 3 shadow kill.

A few more games and I'll begin trying to foil it.

Fourth Witch-King? That's good news!

How was the Shadow kill? I guess there was a Ulaire Nelya, RiT involved?

I kind of think Gollum, Dark as Darkness would be a better splash than Bill Ferny, Swarthy Sneering Fellow. With all the Ring-Bearer wounding, you are bound to get burdens which can turn into twilight. And who knows? You might end the game with his regroup action.

Even more good news, the Deck seems to go in the right direction... I think I might netdeck this one to have a fourth Twilight Nazgul Deck..

Nah, Lord of The Nazgul on Fell Beast against Gimli, BoG with SAWTC. One fierce Witch-King = 5 burdens.

Muad, LOVE your deck. I really am a fan of pipeweed decks, only thing I can comment on is the date you have updated it. It isn't november yet

[ket_the_jet]

Haha...the Freeps is 90% yours, Heije!

Though I still think Faramir, Wizard's Pupil would be more fun for Movie...

Please forgive my error. Fixed.

He's in already.

I played a game with the deck and I agree with Socks.  If you manage to pull off a devastating Mind and Body with this deck than you've already won the game.  In order to make a dedicated MaB deck, you need Nazgul conditions that can be played on any companion rather than transferred.  I think it would be a great card for a Forestgul variant.

Did you win? Did you have fun playing it?

I don't know about you but I am trying to win the game when I play and also have fun, whether mind and body is actually used or even drawn doesn't matter to me. I wanted to use a card that does not get used and found a good way to do it in movie block. If it does work and kills 2, 3 or 4 comps at once that would be sweet.

A forestgul variant would be nice, but not as nice because those Lost In The Woods would not be foils.. Which is the other main reason for this deck, to foil it.

In my opinion the single worst thing about Shadows and onward is the lack of common/uncommon foils.

I just recently won with my Mind and Body deck (which is quite different from this one) using Mind and Body in probably the best fashion possible.

3 companions were left: Frodo, Sam and Merry. Frodo and Sam bore conditions and were exhausted while Merry had 1 wound. There were 5 burdens on Frodo. I played Shotgun Enquea and during maneuver phase I killed Merry with his ability and played Mind and Body to kill Frodo and Sam. It was wonderful!
