Orc Culture
« on: June 26, 2009, 04:30:12 PM »
I can't figure out how the new Orc Culture functions.  I look at the cards they offer and see nothing more than a bunch of scattered ideas.  What can you do with these guys?  Are they any good?

Wargs. Look at hunters block orcs and their wargs, and you will see pure evil.

Well, in fact prior to the ban of Orkish Smith namy considered Orcs bo the most powerful shadow culture. Try to combine some exert-to-wound Orcs (Orkish Veteran, Black Gate Sentry, Orc Miscreant is nice too) with new wargs (Vicious Warg, Threatening Warg, Relentless Warg). Add some more toys (Mordor Scimitar, Chaotic Clash) and you have an awesome wounding engine. Orkish Lackey and Orkish Invader work nice too, though they rely on conditions to wound. Also, with Troll's Keyward, KOTB and Orkish Scout you may pull enough twilight to get 4-5 Trolls per site (especially when combined with Wargs). There are lots of possibilities.

I'm beginning to see, but if you play all lurkers, don't they lose their effectivness?

Play Cave Troll, his hammer, and with Mountain Troll, you can play as many minions as you want from your discard pile. So you swarm the whole fellowship. Lurker does not count for winning anymore. ;)

Wait, what do you mean doesn't count for winning?  I thought lurker meant they were skirmished last?

I think he meant it no longer matters, you will win anyway. And yes, lurker means skirmish last.

Bound To Its Fate and Isengard Underling can be used nicely together, with Mocking Goblin and Retribution maybe a porter troll and some goblin scimitar or orc spear make for a fun corruption deck.

abiding evil works well in this deck also.

Orkish worker is good fun too. 4x of him can get some huge twilite generation.

You know, I built a corruption deck the other day.  It failed miserably, but I didn't put in retributuion.  In fact I didn't even think to use it.  What a great idea!

also add 3x Ulaire enquea, ToTO and a couple of Gothmog, Morgul Leader, with enquea taking Gothmog's archery wounds, he can be fun to add a few burdens.

Gothmog is especially good in this deck because you can actually use his text to bring isengard underling back in regroup to get more bound to its fate...  more burdens. :)

Heck, if your using Gothmog to play a minion during the regroup phase play Orc Miscreant!  Of course you'll need 5 twilight, but that is nothing the orc hammer, mordor scimitar, and demoralized can't handle.

I also like my personal fave, the underground swarm, you can use orcs that get big at underground sites with Goblin Horde and turn out up to 10-12 minion swarms.
