Has anyone ever tried to build around
Uruk Assault Band in expanded?
Idea would be to bid to start at
Mount Doom, have
Ranger of Westernesse in the starting fellowship and go ham as early as possible with the assault band. I guess it could be paired with
Ugly Fellow with his OG sword (love that card) and some uruk synergies and Gollum support.
The weakness would be
Ithilien Blade and skirmish canceling (ring-bound hobbits), so that'd need to be answered. Against RB hobbits I usually like
Mauhur, Relentless Hunter, and against
IB... well...
Final Strike and
ships of Great Draught come to mind.
I doubt I'll have trouble with the shadow side but making a functional fellowship with Ranger of the Westernesse in its starting fellowship might be challanging if I also want to address the meta. Maybe just some generic
IB thing with
Captain of Ithilien and Madril in the starting fellow, I'm not a big of fan of
Leader of Men +
SFTF with a single companion to burn in expanded.
Either way I'll try to cook up something, as I feel
Uruk Assault Band has a very strong potential.
