= General Strategy =

Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Guldur, like Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur, acts as a crowd control minion in Fellowship of the Ring Block. With the ability to play a minion from the discard pile for each companion over 4, Ulaire Nertea could potentially play up to 5 minions from discard. Ulaire Nertea's game text is not specific to Nazgul or even [Wraith] minions; Ulaire Nertea's lack of cultural enforcement makes him a powerful addition to any swarm-style deck, like [Moria].

Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Guldur was added to the [[X-List]] with the introduction of the Two Towers set. The Nazgul was somewhat replaced by Orc Insurgent in Ents of Fangorn set--a minion without cultural enforcement.
