Score for the 5-companion fellowships! But that is a nice little loop there. LeoKula, there’s no rule pertaining to this, because one player controls all of the actions in the loop.
NK, that’s an evil combo with Plotting! |

A LOT of people I know play with 6 comps or more. (sudden fury hobbits, Knights)
Infinite combo orc skulker with broken in defeat is awesome! |

Hehe, this combo is interesting!
Most players will think about it twice before playing Radagast as a sixth companion ^^ |

Im really surprised this many people didnt know of it. As soon as i saw the skulker and it wasnt culturally enforced i knew it could be funny and then broken in defeat came along annd it was obvious what I had to do next.....  |

In my opinion, splashing the skulker in the already weak Uruk deck makes the Uruk deck even weaker if your opponent:
A- Does not run 6 companions
B- Mostly play with hunter companions (Aragorn defender of Rohan is cool against this trick)
C- Can kill you slayer before the skirmish phase (maneuver or archery phase) or even in the skirmish phase (Eowyn, LoI anyone?)
D- Can prevent the Slayer from being assingned (faithfull Stone)
E- Can cancel the skirmish involving this minion, or discard the companion skimishing this minion
That’s alot of possibilities in which ANY Uruk-hai deck splashing the slayer and the skulker will be completely useless. The Uruk culture needs a lot of focus on either swarm or beatdown to waste some precious space with it in my opinion.
Any GOOD deck runing 6 or more companions msut have something up their sleeves to be able to face either Cantea, Enquea, or whatever 6 companion hate out there, so either they’ll run archery, direct wound or Eowyn, or the bouncing hobbits, or skirmish cancelation. Knights have the fortifications, meaning you’re going to be able to play broken in defeat only once before you vitality is reduced to 0.
I realy think that most decks will win pretty easily to an uruk-hai deck running withe hand slayer and orc skulker, two weak minions only good if played together on a certain specific condition.
Don’t take me wrong, it is not my intention to be rude, even if it may sounds like it, I only wish make you realize that this is no worse than having a fierce ulaire cantea, black assassin with 4x drown to its power on the site that adds burden each time a companion is killed with 7 companions out... sure in some case there are auto-losses, but while it remains a problem easily countered, I don’t have any problem with it. |

| I forgot about that one... my point was most of thier decks are not competitive to a forest nazgul or troll swarm for example, |
