This is a 40 card deck...a little larger than I prefer, but let's see what your suggestions are.

I don't think you'll get the cards you need all at once for your combo to set off. Uruk Spy: I agree with c10ckw0rk: If your opponent knows you are going for burdens, why would they put on the ring? Your shadow lacks punch to do any serious damage, so they will just take exerts. LttG is unpredictable without a good setup -- there's no guarantee you'll get burdens that way either.

[Cw0rk]

With Lost to the goblins, you want most of your shadow cards to be moria minions. Enquea, Southron Assassin and all the Uruks are useless.

If you want to play with hate and anger, you have to play full swarm.

[jdizzy001]

Personally I like your idea of using hate and anger.  It may be a good idea to build a classic swarm with an uruk splash using breeding pit 1C122 and uruks like uruk savage.

Well, my LttG deck only has three Goblin Runner's and so far 7 out of 7 wins.  But setup is everything. It doesn't strike until it can discard 9 cards and add 8-9 burdens.

[Cw0rk]

Oh! NVM, I misread LttG. But Enquea and Assassin are not gonna gonna effective enough, you should focus on Gollum.

I am never going to build this deck, so don't worry because it has room for improvement.

I just wanted to throw out a new idea and let some other people run with it. I actually think that Hate and Anger would be sweet in an Uruk-Hai weather deck.

If you want the Uruk Spy to work, you need to force the ring-wearing. So Twilight Nazguls, Resistance became Unbearable, Gollum and Uruk Spy. If you want LttG to work also, you need a heck of a hand, but there could hate and anger be interesting, and otherwise Bent on Discovery.

I thought Saruman's Reach was nice. If they exert the Ring-Bearer (kind of likely), you could use Lost to the Goblins. If they put on the ring, well, Uruk Spy.

but RbU is more reliable and even when the RB is exhausted it still works

Wow! That card is great! I never really realized that existed, I guess. Or I discounted it when RotEL came out. Thanks for the tip!

Resistance Becomes Unbearable is one of the staples of twilight Nazgul decks.

I am curious as to why my brother doesn't run it in his deck...interesting. Don't mention it to jet_jaguar11 (he's never on anyways).

You force the Ring-bearer to put on the ring and then... WHAMMO! Wraith World or The Twilight World. In Movie Block I like using Gollum DaD and Morgul Brute to get the RB exhausted. Then, Gollum can remove a burden or two if you need the twilight for Wraith World doom.

[ket_the_jet]

The Witch-King, Lord of the Nazgul x3
Ulaire Enquea, Ringwraith In Twilight x3
Ulaire Nelya, Ringwraith In Twilight x3
Ulaire Otsea, Lieutenant of Morgul x2
Gorbag, Covetous Captain x2
Morgul Destroyer x2
Morgul Whelp x4
Morgul Skulker x3
Gollum, Dark as Darkness
Fell Beast x3
His Terrible Servants x2
Fat One Wants It
Morgul Gates x3
Captured By the Ring x3

That's how my brother runs it. I guess he focuses more on wounding the Ring-Bearer than corruption. I have to think that Morgul Brute is necessary, but he doesn't have any. Maybe I'll try to acquire some.
