| − | One of the predominant card drawing and cycling tools of the Fellowship of the Ring block, Ottar, Man of Laketown helps the Free Peoples player build a hand better than almost any other card in the format.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The strength of Ottar lies in his ability to build a perfect hand. If the Free Peoples player faces a twilight-choking opponent, he or she may want to discard superfluous Shadow cards. If the Free Peoples player draws multiple copies of a unique character or condition, Ottar can discard them. With the ability to choose up to three cards, Ottar provides a lot of flexibility.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Ottar, Man of Laketown is an invaluable tool and not often used as a fighter in Horn of Boromir decks. Similar decks, with multiple copies of the Horn or Elrond, may rely on Ottar's cycling ability to heavily.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The[Isengard] culture was gifted a similar card in the form of Shadow event Abandoning Reason for Madness in the Realms of the Elf Lords expansion.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The universal benefit of Ottar, Man of Laketown was short-lived, as the ally was added to the[[X-List]] with the introduction of the Two Towers base set. Eventually he was re-introduced for Expanded format, although only on the R-List.
