You can use Evil-smelling Fens to play a single powerful minion repeatedly over the course of the game. {{Card|Shelob, Her Ladyship}} (forming the core of [[Ninja Gollum]]), {{Card|The Witch-King, Morgul King}}, {{Card|The Balrog, Demon of Might}}, and {{Card|Watcher in the Water, Many-Tentacled Creature}} are popular targets. But you can also use it to replay a minion that [[hate|hurts your opponent's gameplan]], like {{Card|Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul}}, {{Card|Tower Assassin}}, {{Card|Grima, Wormtongue}}, {{Card|Grima, Chief Counselor}}, {{Card|Sauron, the Lord of the Rings}}, {{Card|Mauhur, Relentless Hunter}}, or {{Card|Ulaire Nertea, Dark Horseman}}. While the minion you want needs to be in the discard pile, self-[[mill]] cards like {{Card|Ever My Heart Rises}} or {{Card|Realm of Dwarrowdelf}} can dump cards into discard for you to [[download]]. | You can use Evil-smelling Fens to play a single powerful minion repeatedly over the course of the game. {{Card|Shelob, Her Ladyship}} (forming the core of [[Ninja Gollum]]), {{Card|The Witch-King, Morgul King}}, {{Card|The Balrog, Demon of Might}}, and {{Card|Watcher in the Water, Many-Tentacled Creature}} are popular targets.

It also makes every [[site]] a [[marsh]], so it's a must in any deck using {{Card|Watcher in the Water, Keeper of Westgate}} and its [[tentacle]]s. (It's no longer necessary with {{Card|Watcher in the Water, Many-Tentacled Creature}}, but may be useful to replay that minion | It also makes every [[site]] a [[marsh]], so it's a must in any deck using {{Card|Watcher in the Water, Keeper of Westgate}} and its [[tentacle]]s.

The only real limitation on the card, other than deck space, is exerting [[Gollum]]. This is a minor cost in [[Movie Block]] and [[King Block]]: the only cards of note in these [[format]]s that exert Gollum for some useful effect are {{Card|Gollum, Dark as Darkness}} and {{Card|Final Strike}}. Later sets have powerful cards that exert Gollum, like {{Card|Incited}} and {{Card|Not This Time!}}. However, there's also {{Card|Sudden Strike}}, which serves a similar role but grabs its target from the deck, allowing you to set up a utility minion for later re-use. | The only real limitation on the card, other than deck space, is exerting [[Gollum]].
