General Strategy

Specific anti-[moria] card. Whether or not a deck should use Golden Light on the Land will likely depend a lot on the current meta: If [moria] decks are very common (Especially swarm) decks, then this card may be useful for decks that struggle to counter them. However, the card is useless against most !shadows, and is also hindered by its lack of function underground and the fact that it is a one-site effect. While some Dwarf decks do struggle with [moria] swarms, there are generally more versatile card choices to help with this, the main examples being Disquiet of Our People (Defender bonus) and Song of Durin (Anti-[Moria] Tale). Other [dwarf] anti-Orc options include Stairs of Khazad Dum and Here Lies Balin, Son of Fundin.

Strong Versus...

 * [moria] Orcs, especially ones with low twilight costs

Weak Versus...

 * Non-[moria] !shadows
 * Expensive [Moria] Orcs
 * Non-Orc [moria] minions such as the Balrog
 * Underground sites
 * Goblin Warrior
