			The {{C\|Gollum}} cards in [[Ents of Fangorn]] are mirrored pairs, with a Free Peoples card and a Shadow card that have matching opposite effects. This card's Shadow counterpart is a fairly popular burden removal card, {{Card\|Not Listening}}.

However, winning skirmishes with [[Gollum]] is fairly resource-intensive due to his generally low strength, and this card will [[Hand Clog\|clog up your hand]] until you do. To win skirmishes with Gollum, you'll generally need to invest in {{CultureIcon\|Gollum}} [[pump]]s or a secondary strategy like stacking [[threat]]s, self-[[mill]]ing, or [[swarm]]ing minions. There are exceptions that can stand on their own, like {{Card\|Gollum, Stinker}} and {{Card\|Gollum, Old Villain}}, but even those aren't especially reliable. Every card you dedicate to pumping up Gollum or focusing on a secondary strategy isn't a card dedicated to adding burdens or supporting your main Shadow culture. As a result, ~~this~~ rarely ~~fits into a deck~~.		In a vacuum, about on par with {{Card\|It Wants To Be Found}} and {{Card\|The Ring Is Mine!}}.

As a result, both cards are rarely played.

	Remember that Gollum wins his skirmish if his opponent is killed or discarded, possibly with a card like {{Card\|They Stole It}}.		Remember that Gollum wins his skirmish if his opponent is killed or discarded, possibly with a card like {{Card\|They Stole It}}.
