Gorn/Smeagol Choke; Easterling Corruption
« on: September 15, 2008, 02:27:40 AM »
So I was working on another deck; revolves around Aragorn, Heir to the Throne of Gondor and Smeagol, Pitiable Guide. Seems like a fun choke. What do you think? It needs some help.

FP (34):

Companions/Allies:
RB: Frodo, WftJ; The One Ring, SaWtC
Aragorn, Heir to the Throne of Gondor (starting)
Smeagol, Pitiable Guide (starting)
Bounder

Possessions:
Hobbit Sword
Anduril, King's Blade
Aragorn's Bow x2
Footman's Armor

Conditions:
Prized Lagan
Poor Wretch x4
Don't Look at Them
There's Another Way x4
Come Away x2

Events:
Swordarm of the White Tower x4
Dagger Strike x2
Swear by the Precious x4
Naked Waste x3
Still Far Ahead

*subs can be made for: The Great Ring and Golden Perch Ale

Shadow(34):

Minions:
Desert Legion (in lieu of Small Hope)
Easterling Berserker
Easterling Axeman x2
Easterling Guard x4
Easterling Lieutenant x4
Gollum, Stinker
Gollum, Mad Thing
Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul x2

Events:
Gathering to the Summons x4
Men of Rhun x 3
Trap is Sprung (in lieu of Small Hope)
Hobbitses are Dead x3
Captured by the Ring x4

Conditions:
Small Hope x2 (I need some!)
Incited
Hidden Even from Her
Let Her Deal with Them

The Fellowship chokes with 3 companions; Smeagol gets beastly with his conditions and his text. Saved by the Precious is great, and Smeagol can recycle cards into the deck (even shadow Gollum cards!)

The Shadow is Easterling/Gollum corruption; use the easterlings to stack on the burdens. If they choose to assign to the RB, use events as needed to kill the RB :) It's not a very strong Shadow; I just threw it together for the sake of having an evil side to this deck.

Help is always invited; as usual, critique brutally :] Thanks! :Up:

I ran it. I ran Smeagol's crazy choke and mass defender Aragorn with Swear By the Precious. It rocks. That's all I can say. I tossed in Golden Perch Ale and ran in standard with the defender Anduril and Smeagol, Simple Stoor. Ran his choke engine and paired with Forestguls. Naked Waste pwns with Swear by the Precious, and with a gorn that's usually base 12. :twisted:

I like Dagger Strike, though, I'll have to add it in mine. Only recommendations are the Great Ring, Golden Perch Ale and Safe Passage, and possible dropping a few cards, choke decks need consistency, meaning small decks.
