Wow. Take one site and play an uruk minion, and you could throw down 4 of these guys free. Uruk Swarm just took on a whole new meaning, especially in Expanded. Set this guy loose with an  Uruk hai, and an Uruk Regular, and you could basically get 5 completely free twilight.
If this strategy expands to have more guys like this, liberating sites is gonna become a major concern.
Until I see more, I’m giving this guy a 4.
Much more though, and he could be the start of a whole new nightmare. |

It’s hard to give a  -cost damage +1 minion with decent strength anything LESS than a 5. Site control just became very, very important again. |

| Nice and balanced. He’s crap if you get him early, but later on he can be nice. He’s also not that bad in multi-player where every bit of twilight is golden. |

I believe that this is LOTR’s first minion, not counting Goblin Runner (who was a - minion). Definitely a nasty fellow, and nice balance. Although this really would have been better suited as a goblin  minion, with different text. Oh well.
Sweet card, good enforcement. |

| Wow this guy is COOL. I don’t play uruks and never will but this guy is superb. 0 cost is re-writing the history of decipher. As some1 said its the first ever 0 minion. Ground breaking! I wouldnt like to see the new site control uruk swarm played against me... |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

This is actually one of my favorite cards of Treachery and Deceit so far. It’s potentially very powerful, and could inspire a new variety of Uruk-hai deck. But it’s also not too overpowered -- White Hand Sieger is useless if you draw him at the wrong time, and it could be difficult to construct a deck that can reliably generate swarms and control sites.
Very cool card, 5 from me. |
