A natural fit in a [Moria] archery deck, Goblin Marksman lacks the vitality and additional game text found on future [3] twilight archer minions (Uruk Crossbowman, Southron Archer, or Southron Bowman) in exchange for a base 7 strength, uncommonly high for a [Moria] Orc. This can be boosted further by the presence of Archer Commander, making Goblin Marksman quite a strong orc if he bears a hand weapon as well.<br /> <br /> The similar Goblin Bowman (!strength 4, twilight cost [2]) was released in the Mines of Moria expansion, alongside other Moria archers (Archer Commander, Moria Archery Troop).<br /> <br /> Comparing Goblin Marksman to post-Shadows cards like Archer of Harad or Southron Murderer is a good example of the &quot;power creep&quot; in later sets.<br /> <br /> = Strengths and Weaknesses =<br /> <br /> === Strong Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * Small Fellowships<br /> * Weak-to-average strength companions<br /> <br /> === Weak Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * Mithril-Coat, Shield possessions, and other archery-reducing Free Peoples cards<br /> * Directed pre-skirmish wounding</div>
