Re: Ent Swarm and the ultimate Witch-King

So, here I am, back again.
I don't know why the links didnt work, I linked them all correctly...
But you see, I just fear Enquea, so I play:
Pippin+Merry+Forest Guardian+Skinbark
You see, I've got five and when anyone dies, I just replace him and I don't have to care about Enquea

Four copies of Warmed Up a Bit for the superfluous Hobbits. Four copies of Gandalf, Manager of Wizards (or any Gandalf you prefer). Three copies of Terrible And Evil. One copy of Barliman Butterbur...those will help. One copy of Treebeard, one copy of Lindenroot, four copies of A Wizard Is Never Late. Top it off with Gandalf's Staff, Narya, Glamdring, and two copies of Brooding On Tomorrow and a copy of Sting and you have a pretty solid deck right there. You don't really need pumps (Gandalf) but you could take away a copy or two of him and add some Servant of the Secret Fire or any great set 11+ [Gandalf] pump if you want.

Why do you think it doesn't work? Just play Witch-King + Fell Beast and voilà, OTK
(maybe some cards that pull off the ring, but mostly not necessary cus' the opponent doesn't wear the ring when he thinks that I play a Corruption Deck  ;)  )
Here is a short list of reasons why your proposed deck won't work:

The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
Fourth Level, Citadel of the Stars, Gondor Bow
Durin III, Dwarven Lord
Gondor Bowmen, Double Shot, and direct wounding like Terrible and Evil, Unheeded, Slaked Thirsts, or Preparations (you need to exert Wikkie).
What Are They?
Defiance
Glorfindel, Revealed in Wrath
Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien
Rohirrim Guard
Catapult, Arrow-Slits, Roll of Thunder (without the possessions, your minion is only strength 14...very beatable)
Horses
Wearing the One Ring

And any number of cards from sets 10+ that I am unfamiliar with.

And, for one more reason, it's fun so I like this Nazgul only Deck with one Sauron and, (which is the main problem), even if it seems strange, I don't have enough money to Get Gollum, etc.
but pretty cool ideas, I think I will proxy the Deck and try it.
[Wraith] are fun, but they lack kicks. There are no good pumps for them and they are pretty beatable unless you can swarm them (Forestguls) or, like you are trying to do, play one or two that end up being strength 20+. But there are enough ways to beat really strong guys (mentioned above). I just don't see the deck as a one-turn kill, like you suggest it is.

And with all these different tcgs, I now see many thinks from a different point of view than before, when I started to play Lotr tcg. I often try to mix different strategies from different tcgs and thisDeck has a little bit of MtG, playing some random to confuse my opponent so that he sarts to figure out a strategy against me, and then, surprise him with an OTK and also something of Yu-Gi-Oh, with cards like A Wizard is never late
cus' in Yu-Gi-Oh, Synergy and Combos are pretty important.
So, you see, I didn't just mix some cards together, I mixed some tcg-strategies  ;)

I would suggest looking at Lord of the Rings TCG from the standpoint of Lord of the Rings TCG rather than mixing too many strategies. I've never played Yu-Gi-Oh, but there are great strategies and combinations in LotR: TCG as well. Think of them within the terms of this game rather than in the terms of Yu-Gi-Oh and I think you will find your decks more successful.

Also, a last point, you are typing "url=http://CARD TITLE" rather than just typing "card title." Just type a card title, like A Wizard Is Never Late, rather than typing "A Wizard Is Never Late (Broken Link).
