Troll's Keyward???
« on: December 15, 2012, 08:51:02 PM »
ok, can someone tell me why anyone would use the troll's keyword? the way i figure it,  you play keyward for 3 and he only buys you a -2 for the troll. well thats just as good as playing any 1 cost goblin. but if you play the runner, you actually get an extra twilight, so the goblin runner makes a better keyword than the keyward does!

Yep. Archery sponge. Plus, he's stronger than the Goblin Runner, so he might actually win a skirmish and get stacked on Goblin Swarms. And there are some decks that use Dark Places too.

Well there are some times when you don't want the troll taking a bunch of arrows, like if Bow of the Galadhrim is out or you know FP is holding PATHS.

He combos well with moria beat down centering on moria axe rather than goblin scimitar

ah, i never play it that way. always scimitar and a bunch of little goblins. i've also been throwing in an ulaire nelya RWIT for a fun splash. the damage +1 fierce is fun when your opponent doesn't think they have to watch out for burdens. had good success with it twice!

I use 1 copy of it in my Moria swarm deck, just in case I'm playing against heavy archery.

There is also the [Moria] card that exerts a goblin to draw cards (Threat of the Unknown ?), even in a swarm deck, if you're packing the Cave Troll OR not, he's still a good minion (plus, my old Troll deck used a couple Moria Axes alongside Scimitars, since I always had bodies to carry the extra weapons anyway, and he makes a good target for those, which would still gain me twilight with enough Armories out.

I prefer Goblin Spear to the Axe, since I can put it on Cave Troll or the Balrog if desired ^_^
