Article for Bill Ferny, Swarthy Sneering Fellow written. Which reminded me of a thought, is the only advantage of Weatherhills over Bree Streets the fact that its ability stacks with Ferny, and Bree Streets' ability doesn't?

EDIT: Just noticed Weatherhills cheapens Ulaire Nelya, Bree Streets doesn't. Any other synergies I'm missing?

Ulaire Nelya is the only Nazgul with a site 2 home. Weatherhills is a twilight site, whereas Bree Streets is only a twilight site. If you look at the difference as the cost of Bill Ferny, then Weatherhills is the superior site. Without Bill Ferny in play, Bree Streets will play out better for the Shadow player.

Statistically, in a 60 card deck with Frodo and two starting companions, you are looking at a 56% chance of drawing Bill Ferny in your opening hand, presuming four copies in your deck. With a mulligan, those odds drop significantly to just over 32%.

Most people don't run four copies of Ferny and most people have a deck larger closer to 70 cards than 60, to put it in perspective.

Thanks for the feedback. It had occurred to me that we can do with some more site articles, but I had initially forgotten that Weatherhills even existed till recently, seemed like everyone on Gemp was using Bree Streets. Which isn't surprising

It also depends on the number of (roaming) Nazgûl you are going to play at site 2. If you play only 1, Weatherhills is better. If you play 2, both are tied. If you play 3 or more, Bree Streets is better. Besides, while Weatherhills has synergy with Nelya and Bill Ferny, Bree Streets protects from What Are They?, Eregion's Trails and Swordsman of the Northern Kingdom.

Therefore, Weatherhills can be more useful for twilight Nazgul given their expensive tricks, though in their case Weathertop is often much better.


Added Goblin Warrior to the weak vs list of Stairs of Khazad Dum.

Bree Streets doesn't stop Nazgul from roaming, it just reduces the roaming penalty, so it doesn't protect from What are They? etc . At least that's how I've always understood it.

Good point about Weathertop. Article written for it written. Will write the other two later.

You are right about Bree Streets, somehow I confused it with Rohirrim Camp's effect.

Weathertop doesn't make twilight Nazgul weaker to stealths, it's actually the opposite as the FP player will need twice the stealths to get rid of your minions, immediatly before the Ford of Bruinen.

Weathertop updated, Weatherhills and Bree Streets written. Looking back now, I'm not quite sure why I thought Stealth was a Weathertop weakness

You're getting your site 2s all mixed up. Breeland Forest prevents the usage of stealth events.

Could've been. Might have been getting too generic on the Nazgul theme too, as they and uruks really don't like having their skirmishes cancelled.
