So, if you follow my threads at all you know I am a Gorn defender nut. I remember back before TT Gorn defender decks were all the rage. What I want to know, is it possible to make an effective moive block gorn defender deck. 2 comps, Frodo and Gorn. I'll post the one I have made later when I have more time, i just wanted to get this out so y'all could start thinking. Post a complete (freeps & shadow) deck so we can compare! thanks!

I started off with a much smaller deck, but each game I ran out of cards by site 5 or 6, so I kept adding cards until it got ok. This is an old deck and when I look at it now I see that shadow side could be better with a better choice of minions (but still keeping the trackers). I've won a fair deal of games with this one. I usually go 2nd and let my opponent go forth. Swarm is the toughest at site 5 because trackers stop roaming.
Freeps have survived almost everything. Most things don't get enough twilight to do much damage. The bane of this deck is Ninja Gollum (
Her Ladyship
in particular) and a good build of Isenorcs, but everything else can be survived without too much problem. More than once I survived site 9.
I also made an
Anarion defender deck
which is a bit weaker, but much more fun to play.

I usually play gorn degender decks in casual formats (there are aragorn's built for the deck
WTG
). I've been trying to switch the gorn defender back over to movie block, but boy is it hard. It seems the most promising option is to limit your own movement and hope your shadow can wallop your opponent. OOOOOOO, an uruk-hai lock down deck would be great to couple with the gorn defender!

I think
Coat of Mail
is a much better choice over
Armor
. Especially if combined with
Valiant Man of the West
.

Gorn lockdown now stands at 2 wins and 0 losses. I know this record won't last much longer (I'm not THAT good at LOTR, but it's been fun.) As far as site control goes, I think
Attack on Helm's deep
is going to serve me better. i can't seem to win enough skirmishes to utilize
down to the last child
effectively. I added lurtz to try and better use
down to the last child
. I think that will help

Uruk-hai Band
should be your main minion along with
Lurtz, SoI
.
Uruk Assault Band
is too expensive to be effectively used and there are no Battleground sites in movie to make him at least fierce. Also, you need events.
We are the Fighting Uruk-hai
is a must and
Saruman's Ambition
can help a lot. You should consider
Pillage of Rohan
more as a bonus card and as such, 1 copy is enough.
Broad-bladed Sword
could also help, but it may be too much. One more copy of
Lurtz, SoI
should find its way in there. He's powerful and can easily get you 2 tokens on
Down to the Last Child
, thus providing a site, not to mention a good possibility of a dead companion in the process.

I run a site controll deck(or at least try to)and
attack on Helm's Deep
is great. And I use
race across the mark
knowing if I'll lose a skirmish. Because you have to discard an Uruk and remove 3 tokens you'll need one alive.

Oh jdizzy have you tried putting in
Boromir's Gauntlets
? The card has saved me a million times. It is effective when being swarmed and your opponet ran out of twighlite. Bwahahahahah.....
