'''Gollum, Dark as Darkness''' is a popular choice in non-{{C|Gollum}} decks to cheaply, efficiently, and reliably place a [[wound]] on the [[ring-bearer]]. He appears in a broad variety of decks, either as a cheap efficient [[direct wounding]] [[minion]], or as a cheap efficient way to put extra pressure on the ring-bearer. He can also occasionally squeak out a free win on an [[exhausted]] ring-bearer if the opponent doesn't have a way to kill Gollum before then (or at least wound him twice); the best way to do this is usually a [[swarm]] strategy. The ability to remove [[burden]]s for a bit of extra [[Twilight (Cost)|twilight]] is only occasionally useful. Almost every deck that's using it only plays one copy, however, and instead [[download|retrieves]] that copy with {{Card|Captured By The Ring}} to get a free [[threat]]. | '''Gollum, Dark as Darkness''' is a popular choice in non-{{C|Gollum}} decks to cheaply, efficiently, and reliably place a [[wound]] on the [[ring-bearer]].
