Gollum, Nasty Treacherous Creature is largely overshadowed by {{Card|Gollum, Dark As Darkness}} in formats like [[Movie Block]] where both are legal. He's very annoying, since he's hard to kill before the [[Regroup Phase]] without an [[overwhelm]], but [[Exert|exerting]] a character can't kill them. He's moderately useful in decks that can apply wounds in Regroup, like [[Isengard Orcs]], but {{C|Gollum}}-focused decks like [[Ninja Gollum]] usually prefer Dark as Darkness's ability to wound the [[Ring-bearer]], or versions of [[Gollum]] that can win skirmishes, like {{Card|Gollum, Stinker}}. | Gollum, Nasty Treacherous Creature is largely overshadowed by {{Card|Gollum, Dark As Darkness}} in formats like [[Movie Block]] where both are legal.

His ability to exert [[Ally|allies]] is fairly marginal, since he can't kill allies to prevent them from being healed. {{C|Shire}} ally decks like [[Hobbit Hospital]] run {{Card|Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir}} and {{Card|Hobbit Party Guest}}. {{C|Elven}} ally decks run very strong healing in cards like {{Card|Elrond, Lord of Rivendell}}, {{Card|Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad}}, {{Card|Galadriel, Lady of Light}}, and {{Card|Galadriel, Lady of the Golden Wood}}.

Like all Gollums, he can soak [[archery]] wounds for other minions with his high vitality. However, playing him solo against an Archery deck will mean he'll die without doing anything. | Like all Gollums, he can soak [[archery]] wounds for other minions with his high vitality.
