Alrighty, I switched around the top rankings. Look better?
Thanks for the help.

A Shadow Rises isn’t technically a minion, therefore he doesn’t belong here.
Seriously though, he’s decent, but he gets killed by any form of conditions removal. Maneuver condition removal really kills him, since you’ll already have spent 5 twilight making him a minion, only to get burned by Lothlorien Guides.
So, while he has the potential to be great, he is just too risky to be listed in the top 10 splashable minions. |

The article is definitely more complete and more informative with 10 minions instead of 5; however, I am still surprised to see that Black Rider did not make the roster. |
I had to put something here. |

Black Rider, while splashable, isn’t quite good enough to make the Top 10 list. He’s just a fierce minion with pretty good strength; that’s not too impressive, and it’s not going to help too many decks. If you’re going to be playing against lots of companions, you’d might as well use Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul or some of the other anti-6-companion cards. |

Very nice article, not amazingly incredible, but very good. 4.5, so round up to 5. |

Thanks!
Anyone else want to review? I’m open to suggestions as to how it can be made better. |

I like it, looks neat. I love splashing minions, really makes decks fun to play with. And everything I wanted to say has already been conversed. |

Another great article from AC. That’s a surprise.
Good choices for minions, and great explainations of the uses of each one. And after reading some responses, good reasoning for eliminating other good splashes. Nice formatting, easy to read, and very informative.
I can’t see why this doesn’t deserve a 5. |

Thanks, Celebrimbor and EL!
I did a quick run through the article and smoothed it up a bit. I’m also considering adding Orkish Footman, just because he can have astronomical strength. I’m not sure though, so let me know if you really think he ought to take Ugluk’s spot. |
