Title: Uruk axe
Post by: sharkey on December 09, 2009, 07:18:16 AM

Uruk Axe, could someone tell me it's use? I am not aware of any [Sauron] Uruks, though I am probably missing something.

Cirith Ungol Sentinel. Cirith Ungol Guard. Cirith Ungol Patroller. Cirith Ungol Sentry.

Keep in mind, a lot of [Isengard] cards work with them...Uruk Lieutenant, Uruk Captain, Uruk Regular, Broad-Bladed Sword, to name a few.

Right. Say, how would you recommend playing [Sauron] Wraiths? I have a whole bunch, but I can't find a good way to play them. Specifically, I have Corpse Lights, Dead Ones, and Wisp of Pale Sheen. Any ideas?

Yeah, the best idea would be to not play them. I'm sure a few people will jump up and say, "I have this deck that uses them" but guess what? This deck sucks.

They are not very good splash minions in Twilight Nazgul decks which is the only place they would seem to fit in. Wisp of Pale Sheen has limited applicability in [Sauron] corruption decks with The Ring is Mine and Gorgoroth Stormer, but there are better cards for those decks.

Yeah. I think that with a few more wraith minions, it could work. But right now (so forever) it's too unsupported.

Yeah, the Wraith Collection dead guys don't even work with the Ents of Fangorn ones.

Yeah. It seems like it would be a fun way to play, which is the sad part.

Who knows, maybe years from now someone will find a card that pulls it all together.
