Re: Ent Swarm and the ultimate Witch-King

[ket_the_jet]

You are playing Ents, in casual or expanded. Thus, there is only one option for your starting Fellowship:

Ring-bearer, Ring.
Merry, In the Bloom of Health (costs 1)
Pippin, In the Bloom of Health (costs 1)
Farmer Maggot, Hobbit of the Marish (costs 1)
Quickbeam, Bregalad (free)
Skinbark, Fladrif (costs 1)
Host of Fangorn (free)
Ent Horde (free)

Add four copies of Warmed Up a Bit to discard the unbound Hobbits, and then play more ents, like Treebeard, Lindenroot, or others.

Starting eight companions means that your deck will have seven more Shadow cards than Free Peoples cards...this is perfect for if you are trying a one-turn kill deck.

Shadow:
I am not convinced that this does the job in one turn. In fact, you have stated that it takes a few turns to wound the Ring-Bearer up until you can use The Witch-King, Lord of the Nazgul.

Why not use Twilight Nazgul, four copies of Resistance Becomes Unbearable to force exertions, Gollum, Dark as Darkness and Morgul Brutes, and four copies of Fell Beast for fierce? That seems like it does the job much more effectively.

A 30-card deck list for this might be:

The Witch-King, Lord of the Nazgul x3
Ulaire Enquea, Ringwraith In Twilight x3
Ulaire Nelya, Ringwraith In Twilight x3

Gollum, Dark as Darkness

Morgul Brute x3
Morgul Skulker x2

Fell Beast x4

His Terrible Servants x2
Evil-Smelling Fens

Resistance Becomes Unbearable x4
Captured By the Ring x4


Something like that. Just don't exert the Ring-Bearer too much with Resistance Becomes Unbearable or they will be wearing the Ring and you won't get your kill with The Witch-King or Enquea.
