Seems to me you could throw Smeagol in and get another easy way to make Gorn defender, as he counts as a Shadow culture.
No conditions otherwise I would recommend Orkish Invader, Goblin Hordes and Unforgiving Depths, but the Wargs look good and mean
I really wanted squeeze in Smeagol,
Deagol and 4
Still Far Ahead at first, but I have to keep this deck as small as I can, because technically I play with 7 cards hand. The freeps is doing just fine as it is, I can usually do 1-3-4-5-6-7-9 with it, and it also clogs my opponent's hand a bit to help the shadow. Is Smeagol really counts as a shadow culture too? (if so, then I may throw in a random condition and start at
Dammed Gate Stream)
Btw since I changed shadow from the evil man archery to the current one I haven't lost a game with this. The most problematic cards for this shadow are
The Faithful Stone and
Spirit of the White Tree, so I may try to add some condition discard.
