No tracker I know of does.
I think there are three:
Grishnakh
Orc Patrol
Orc Seeker
Orc Cutthroat, too. But at least all four are unique. 
Bah! And I even have a deck with some of those.  |

i think i liked:
3
2
8
10 would have been in there i think if it hadn’t been for the fact that you can slap 4 of these:
Mad with Desire Sauron
Condition
Resistance -1
To play, exert a Sauron minion.
Bearer must be a companion.
Each time bearer is assigned to skirmish a Sauron minion, you may make the Ring-bearer wear the One Ring until the start of the Regroup phase.
Skirmish: Spot the Ring-bearer wearing The One Ring to add a burden. Discard this condition.
With danger approaching, Boromir was overwhelmed by his desire.
on the ring-bearer for resistance -4 and then if you use the souron’s throne/MD combo that’s an easy -6!!! |

Very good point. It should be limit 1 per companion, and maybe only unbound. Imagine I just added that to my reviews above!

 I like these. Very old school Tracker/Hate theme. I worry about making Sauron orcs natural archers, something that has been avoided in the past. I also think perhaps that there wasn’t enough originality here, though I like the maneuver action.
 I would have liked the condition better as non-unique with just the second ability but overall these cards were okay. I liked the discard theme and the potential for swarming. I thought these cards might make the start of a good strategy.
 Great combo of old school trackers with new tech such as threats and hunter. I really liked the condition and Snaga. Very inventive cards that could form the backbone of a nice strat.
 These were fine but didn’t inspire me. The event could be fun combined with some benefit for putting the ring on but I didn’t see an overall direction behind these cards.
 The blade makes the grind strategy more interesting, and these are old school cards. However, they don’t seem inventive enough to me and I would be hard pressed to continue to design cards along these lines without stepping on the toes of previous sets.
 I love this. Sauron Condition swarm, old school enough to qualify but interesting enough to design a theme around. "Was Not Destroyed" might need to be unique but on the whole this was a very good entry. Not quite broad enough in scope, perhaps, but tight and inventive.
 Combination of deck discard, burdens and grind is very old school and I like how many of these cards give difficult choices to the FP player. For me, Sauron and the new orc cards are good when they give unreasonable choices. I just don’t like discard that much...
 I can’t see much of a larger design behind these cards, and only the Uruk-Hai looked interesting to me.
 These cards didn’t really do much for me either. Grind is a fine premise but I didn’t see much here that hasn’t been done before.
[10] As others have said, ’Mad with Desire’ should only be playable on Unbound companions.
[11] I thought that these cards were not powerful enough. Threats and Initiative seemed very Return of the King to me, and though I really liked the idea of a Sauron Token theme, these cards didn’t inspire me greatly.
So, my votes are:
1st - 3
2nd - 6
3rd - 2

Srry for the late votes, have had a billion people over since Thanksgiving (and even more dogs) so I haven’t had a chance to really look yet. Will edit them in as soon as I can.
Edit:
11
1
2
While the cards in #11 were hardly the strongest cards out of the bunch, I just liked them best. 
As for all those cards (including #11) which weren’t old school, I had thought when Dain said "old school " he was referring to " (which would be old-school) as opposed to the new-school  ." |
