Nice article. Simple and consistent. You kept the article form and present good grammar. Personally I love Rohan and Uruks and have played this since beginnings of these cultures.
Maybe firstly I’ll comment the comments:
1. 7 companions - IMHO it can be even to less - I’d play 9. Of course there are cards which will punish it, but untill opponent drwas them, you can be 3-4 sites ahead. Then It would be to late for any punishment
And I suppose that every player isn’t stupid - if there is real danger in having 6 companions, he’ll play 5 and discard the rest.
Actually, I cut one, as I think that is a bigger problem.
2. 8 mounts - it is OK. There are many cards using mounts (White Hot Fury, Riding Like the Wind). The faster you’ll get it the better. And you have to keep in mind shadows cards, which discards possesions.
I agree.
My pieces of adivice:
1. Veteran Horseman would be nice in this deck, he can become very powerful. Consider also adding Haleth, Son of Hama - he prevent your horses from beeing discarded (which would be very painful for this deck) - I’d say he’s even a must-have.
Put in horseman.
2. Add at leat one Tempest of War. It’s not unique so you can play 2 or 3 of them and cause additional reduction of resistance.
3. Shadow is reducing resistance, but make no use of that. Change several minons (like Lookout Uruk and Relentless Uruk - I never liked nor used them) to Saruman, AotDL, Uruk Desecrator, Uruk Dominator. They all are from BR starter so shouldn’t be hard to get.
Why Desecrator? Both Shingle In a Storm and Squad of Uruk-hai use low resistance, but I don’t need any more resistance reduction. I did edit it some, though...
Aa you wrote this isn’t tier one deck, but that wasn’t the goal of this article. You managed to build cheap and playable deck. I like your style. I’d give you 4, but as it is your first article I’ll give you 5 - great start!
