Gandalf Rohan//Nazgul

[gashad]

I have recently started trying a nazgul shadow side along with my Rohan Gandalf fellowship deck-the Deck has been working decently but I would like some help to optimize it:

sites:
Edoras Hall
Rohirrim Camp
The Dimholt
City of the Dead
Pelennor Flat
Minas Tirith Forth Circle
Osgiliath Channel
Morgulduin
Slag Mounds

free peoples:
1 Frodo OBH
1 TOR, ATAR
1 Eomer TMOR
1 Eowyn Dernhelm

1 Theoden TaP
4 Gandalf Defender of the West
1 Hrethel
1 Sam son of Hamfast

1 Bounder

1 Arrow slits
1 Fortress never fallen
1 Hearken to me

1 Eowyn's Sword DB
1 Hobbit Sword
2 Shadowfax
1 Narya
1 Rohirrim javelin
2 Rohirrim bow
1 Riders mount
1 Brego
1 Eomer's Spear
1 Firefoot
1 Herugrim SotM

4 Simbelmyne
4 an honorable charge
1 Sleep Caradhras

Strategy: Play with Eomer,Gandalf, Eowyn, Theoden in fellowship, Hrethel is for when Theoden TaP dies. Use simbelmyne to get everyone their equipment. I have been thinking about trying to aquire Leowyn for the healing as well as a second hearken to me for theoden, yet I am uncertain of what to remove to add them.

I have also been toying with the idea of adding a few trust me as you once did, if I can aquire Theoden Rekindled King, yet I am uncertain if this will improve the deck-what do you think? Might need some healing for Gandalf then-but don't know any good.


Shadow

4 blade tip
1 bent on discovery
1 winged and ominous
2 threshold of shadow
2 Between nazgul and prey
1 all blades perish
4 fell beast
2 nazgul sword
1 Morgul Blade
2 Ulaire Enquea LoM
2 Ulaire Enquea TotO
1 Ulaire Nertea Thrall of the One
2 Ulaire Toldea MoM
1 Ulaire Toldea WoW
2 Ulaire Nelya Thrall of the One
2 The Witch-King BC
1 Ulaire Cantea LoDG
2 Ulaire Ostea, Lieutenant of Morgul
1 Ulaire Ostea, Thrall of the One
1 Ulaire Attea Thrall of the One


Basic strategy is to overwhelm or kill with blade tips, while enquea and pellennor flats hopefully add burdens to make my other Nazguls scarier.

I realize this deck is not ideal-I am far from possessing every card-yet I am wondering what key cards I am missing that I should try to get hold off(I am quite unfamiliar with Nazguls), while advice over which cards to remove to add them would also be appreciated.  

Thanks

I am at the moment at 70 cards in the deck which is a bit much-any suggestions of ways to slim down the deck generally would be appreciated.

If you're doing movie, and you're going to have blade tips as a major part of your strategy, then by all means throw in some Lemenya, Lieutenant of Morgul and some Morgul Blade; the ability to use morgul blade even if you won't win, or if it's already in the discard pile makes it as versatile as black breath in triggering Lemenya's nerf.

Thanks for the help

I am a bit weary about using Lemenya, Lieutenant of Morgul, as with 9/2 and no Keywords he is a bit dependent on pumps to win skirmishes an/or stay alive, and I generally only have blade tips on one or 2 companions at a time(they generally either get discarded or kill the companion) , I might give him a try though, if I can find something to remove for him.

Added a morgul blade, also posted my free peoples side and would appreciate some help on it.

You should replace Sleep Caradhras with Grown Suddenly Tall.  Eomer TMOR is fine, but I always prefer Eomer SK simply so I can recycle some of those skirmish events.  Shadowfax seems like it might clog a bit, so an option might be replacing a copy with either Rohirrim Shield or Have Patience, both of which help with some healing.  As far as Trust Me as You Once Did, you would need to rework your fellowship to get those Gandalf signets, so although it might be helpful, it's probably more of a pain.

Trimming:

Hearken to Me is a great card, I love it, but with 37 cards in your fellowship, it becomes more of a copy of Herugrim.  I would cut it, especially if you've designed the deck to be able to sacrifice Theoden.

Trim off a Gandalf copy, 4 is a bit much.

Narya could possibly go, I've never used it, so I'm not sure how it's worked for you.

Overall, this is an excellent Rohan deck, I've been trying to perfect mine for a long time and this gives me lots of ideas.
