Like the Ancient Chieftain of [Moria] and Uruk Lieutenant of [Isengard], Morgul Warden is a minion who gets stronger with company. An otherwise generic strength 9, vitality 3 minion, Morgul Warden is somewhat limited by uniqueness in a deck that might focus on a swarm. That said, in a well-played [Sauron] swarm (using the Battle of Helms Deep expansion trackers and a copy of Forces of Mordor), Morgul Warden can become a potent minion.
 
 
 
The more expensive Morgul Hunter tends to be a more popular deck filler than Morgul Warden, being neither limited by uniqueness or the strength of the minion "army" in play, and featuring one more vitality.
