Yeah!
This is a hunter minion I will definitely add to my hunter deck. He’s kinda like Saruman, Agent of the Dark Lord, but since White Hand Guard is a hunter he can get the damage bonus from Violent Hurl.
I give him a 5. |

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. |

Basic minion, its nice to see D make something that’s simple every once in a while. I thought that simple minions were gone. His simplicity doesn’t affect his power, his stats are good and he can exhaust himself to make him strength +4, and can bear an Isengard Siege Bow and the new spear for added vitality. He gets a 5. |

He will be better with 8 strength, and 3 twilight, but he is a deck material. |

A 9/3 minion for twilight isn’t so great, but you could easily consider him an 11/2 or a 13/1 minion instead -- especially if you’re not worried about facing many archery or wounding fellowships. Then the fierce bonus and the potential damage +1 from Violent Hurl really mean something.
Strong card, and very versatile. I would add this to my Uruk-hai hunter deck without thinking twice. 5 from me! |

I foresee him becoming a staple in most hunter decks. Very nice card, especially when coupled with Saruman, Agent of the Dark Lord. He gets a 5 from me. |

Just looking back at Fellowship of the Ring set, 4 twilight for a 9/3 plain minion or a 9/2 Damage +1 minion was pretty standard. Of course the companions were also weaker back then and didn’t have so many permanents (weapons) so 9 strength actually meant something. |

Yeeowch! I would say he’s just about as good as Saruman, Agent of the Dark Lord. And now you don’t need to use Agent, so you can use Servant of Sauron!!
And just look at that potential high vitality...with Isengard Siege Bow and Uruk Broadsword, this guy’s practically untouchable! |
