Strategy[edit]

The Palantír of Orthanc is what some LotR TCG players would call OP (Over Powered) as it's ability to potentially place your opponent's entire hand on top of their draw deck. The Palantír is a great card for Uruk-Hai decks with cards such as Uruk Rager. With it's amazingly cheap twilight cost it's only drawback is the fact that its X-Listed in most post-movie blocks.

Gameplay Strategy[edit]

This card can be incredibly powerful when there is lots of Tokens in the Twilight Pool, so when you have few minions in your hand it is useful, and also surprisingly antagonising to your oppoent.
