Uruk-hai Guard (12R156) Wiki

General Strategy

Uruk-hai Guard has the same advantages as its predecessor, Uruk Guard, but with even more bonuses. With the numerous vitality boosting cards in the culture (Spear of the White Hand, Isengard Siege Bow, Lurtz's Bow), Uruk-hai Guard can prevent assignment to multiple companions. It also has a higher strength value, which is indicative of the extra strength minions gained post set 10 to help cope with the increasingly powerful companions that were released from set 8 onwards (Durin III; Cirdan; Arwen, Staunch Defender etc.).
