That said, Beauty is Fading suffers from a huge twilight cost. It's restrictive twilight cost falls in line with its &quot;Swiss Army Knife&quot; ability to discard anything of the Shadow player's choosing. With the cheapest Nazgul at [2] twilight (with Morgul Gates), the twilight pool would need [7] to play the card, and the option of discarding a companion or ally is only achieved without a Free Peoples condition or possession in play.<br /> <br /> Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur, Stricken Dumb, Fear, and to a lesser extent, Loathsome, Ulaire Cantea, Faster than Winds, Mastered By Madness, and Black Dart are all more cost-effective Nazgul cards with more direct results. Of course, Grond, Hammer of the Underworld is the best card for dismantling a Free Peoples player's support cards.<br /> <br /> = Strengths and Weaknesses =<br /> <br /> === Strong Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * Nearly unparalleled ability to discard a card from play<br /> <br /> === Weak Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * Very expensive - at [5] twilight a shadow player could play another large minion, or several smaller minions</div>
