Strategy

Nasty, Foul Hobbitses is a middling-weak card, usually used as part of a Gollum splash in a corruption deck, along with cards like Gollum, Mad Thing (10R21) , Gollum, Stinker (5R25) , Heavy Burden (7U60) , and Trap Is Sprung (13R57) .

It's a weaker and more-situational card similar to It Wants to be Found (2U78) and The Ring is Mine! (10U97) . Gollum, Mad Thing (10R21) and Gollum, Stinker (5R25) can usually be counted on to stack up a few burdens over time, but they usually won't consistently win skirmishes until you're close to winning the game overall, either because burdens are stacked up very high, you're killing companions with a combo of Promise Keeping (8R24) and either They Stole It (6R46) or Not This Time! (15R47) , or you've otherwise stacked many strength boosts on Gollum somehow. Of the Gollum burden tools, this is one of the least useful, and most likely to end up clogging up your hand.

The 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, Not Listening (6C43) .

Strengths and Weaknesses

Synergizes With...

• Any card that adds burdens, like It Wants to be Found (2U78) and The Ring is Mine! (10U97)
• Gollum usually needs some help winning his skirmish, from pumps like We Must Have It (5C30) or direct wounding like They Stole It (6R46) .

Strong Versus...

• Alternate Ring-bearers with low Resistance
• Decks that mainly lose skirmishes, although most of these decks also have strong burden removal

Weak Versus...

• Burden removal, especially Sam, Son of Hamfast (1C311) and A Light in His Mind (10U108)
• High-resistance Ring-bearers, either inherently (any version of Frodo, especially Frodo, Resolute Hobbit (10P121) ) or from cards like Salt from the Shire (11R171) or Galadriel's Silver Ewer (18R11)
