With the damage bonus shared with most Uruk-Hai and a stout 3 vitality, Orthanc Assassin is also a good choice for exertions from cards like Cloud of Arrows, Saruman's Power, Beyond the Height of Men, or weather conditions.<br /> <br /> A solid addition to [Isengard] archery shadows in Towers Standard and beyond, Orthanc Assassin is somewhat limited by his uniqueness, though he can be replayed by Uruk Captain or even Evil-Smelling Fens if appropriate. His twilight cost can be reduced by Ranged Commander in the Towers Standard format.<br /> <br /> = Strengths and Weaknesses =<br /> <br /> === Strong Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * 3 vitality for exertions, such as from Cloud of Arrows, Beyond the Height of Men, or weather conditions<br /> * Base strength beats most companions and allies without skirmish pumps (besides Treebeard and Tom Bombadil, the Master)<br /> <br /> === Weak Versus... ===<br /> <br /> * Unique minion with a relatively high twilight cost<br /> * Weaker than Lurtz and significantly more expensive than Uruk Lieutenant or (possibly) Uruk Ravager</div>
