Play Notes

They key is to only travel through [-me_dd-] , [-me_sl-] and single [-me_wi-] . And the only sites you visit are [-me_bh-] to minimize the opponents creature keyability.
As soon as the Witch-king hits the table, tap him to sideboard the following cards, in that order:
  • Ûvatha the Ringwraith
  • Morgul-orcs
  • Helm of Fear
  • Creature of an Older World
After playing those, sideboard the stuff for 2nd deck:
  • Forced March
  • Last Child of Ungoliant
  • Gold Chains in the Wind
  • Sudden Call
After exhausting the deck sideboard in all the remaining factions.
You won't get all your factions into play, and most the time you won't get to the Shelob part but it is fun to play. If you are lucky to draw enough [-me_mp-] at once, split up into two companies, each with a Sorcerer. You play without Books and without Come by Night upon them, so basically one influencer untapped in the sitephase is enough.
