I’m becoming a big fan of the new Warg-riding decktype, but this particular card is just worthless.
Most Free Peoples cards are played before skirmishes even begin. The cards that remain are generally skirmish events that are used to help companions win their skirmishes. So when a mounted Orc wins a skirmish, the Free Peoples player’s hand will almost always be empty of FP cards. There might be a regroup event (but who plays those?), or an excess companion (which the FP player would gladly be rid of). So what exactly is Cry and Panic targeting?  |

That’s a good point...although you do have the satisfaction of knowing that the Free Peoples player doesn’t have any shadow cards in their hand...but yes, this doesn’t look like a good card at all. |

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.  |

The only thing I like about this card is that it reveal their hand. Unfortunately, it also cycles out all Freeps cards, leaving a Shadow-heavy hand that they can use when it’s your turn. Ouch!  |

It is also a bit more of a late game card than anything else... If they are cycling through their shadow and you are choking them, they won’t necessarily be able to play all their minions which means they have to discard them to cycle well. Also unless they are re-shuffling their deck, the bottom will be all free people’s cards allowing you to run quite easily since you know what they will be drawing into. I can see its usefulness, but it is pretty situational. |
