Hi everyone!
It's been a while since I posted a new deck on here, so I thought I'd share a relatively new one I've had a lot of fun playing. A lot of people say that Morcs are the strongest shadow in Movie, but they only use 3 Morgul Orcs-
Morgul Brute,
Morgul Destroyer and
Morgul Whelp. Occasionally you'll see a
Morgul Vanguard, but not often. Anyway, I thought I would build a deck around the most devastating card (in my opinion) in the Revised Sealed Leagues. That is the
Morgul Ambusher. At
Dagorlad he's a decent 2 wounds for 3 twilight, so double the effectiveness of a
Moria Archer Troop or
Goblin Marksman.
The trouble is he only works at site 9 (and 5 if you play
City Gates). Even Morgul Destroyers cannot Guarantee 3 threats, so I decided to go with his cousin, the
Morgul Lurker. Most Fellowships don't give you initiative for free, but
Streaming to the Field can help you there. On top of that,
Black Marshal will make all your Minions effectively twilight cost -2 if you have initiative, which certainly has the potential to get crazy. However, that costs the not insignificant cost of an exertion of a Nazgul, most of whom have high twilight to vitality ratios. But not
Ulaire Toldea, Wraith on Wings if you have initiative. I've always wanted to use him, too. If twilight's a plenty, then play loads of minions and drop a
Gothmog, Morgul Commander. He makes Morgul Whelps look like a strength 9
Goblin Runner with archer!
Getting the killer hand is hard, so I've paired it with Stacking Dwarves. They'll survive, and happily run against several shadows. If they don't, discard your deck on your last FP turn and play
RBBN to set up your last ditch shadow hand. Here's the decklist:

Swarming Like BeetlesIt's a bit of a work in progress. Especially the dwarves, but this deck is great fun to play. Have a replay of a very fun game (how often do you say that when playing Ninja Gollum?):
