Isengard Orcs & Gollum

I've been trying to make this work for a while now but to pretty much no avail. The idea of the deck is to use
Isengard Tender
to exhaust the ringbearer, and then finish him of with
Master Broke His Promise
. My current decklist:
1x
Gollum, Stinker
(I think I'll replace it with
Old Villain
)
1x
Gollum, Vile Creature
(IMO the best gollum to win skirmishes with)
2x
Grima, Wormtongue
4x
Isengard Shaman
4x
Isengard Tender
4x
Isengard Tinker
3x
Scaffolding
3x
Captured by the Ring
3x
Master Broke His Promise
3x
Sweeter Meats
(To prevent wounds, obv ... The thing is, it's somewhat of a choke)
2x
The Trees Are Strong
1x
Fat One Wants It
1x
Tower of Orthanc
Any ideas how to improve it or is this by default a bad strategy? Because as is, during playtests, there always seems to be a component lacking. Either I don't have 5 tokens during the regroup phase (this doesn't happen too often, mind you), either Gollum takes (at least) 1 wound/exertation, either ... 5 or so other things. Strangely, the easyest part of the equation seems to be stacking
Isengard Tender
on
Scaffolding
.

Surely the Gollum from Reflections works better: you only need to exert him twice, and a few
Slippery as Fishes
with any of his pumps should let him get to the regroup with at most 1 wound. Nice idea, though!
Library of Orthanc
may get a Tinker stacked if you're lucky

Slippery as Fishes
is a nice thought, yeh, thx. I don't see how
Gollum, Dark as Darkness
would fit in, though, since by regroup, I need a perfectly healed Gollum, else no deal. Library seems too much of a gamble, but I'll try it out.

How do you intend to use
Master Broke His Promise
without a fully healed Gollum? There's so much archery and direct wounding you cannot guarantee even the strongest Gollum will survive totally unscathed (
Brego
would stop you cold).
Isengard Warrior
helps out in the archery as well, plus works perfectly with the Tinker, in case they do wound your Gollum, or leave you too little twilight.

Isegnard Warrior, yeh! Forgot about that one. Perhaps a good way to help Gollum would be to use some self-assigning minions like some Isengard Men with
Desertion
, or something (there's better ways, I know) or even
Shelob, Her Ladyship
, altho that's getting rather expensive again -- in which case
Isengard Builder
is an option. But what to throw out ...
