'''Cirith Ungol Warrior''' is, like most of the [[Morgul Orcs]] of [[Mount Doom|the tenth set]], a forgettable and overpriced junk [[minion]]. Four [[twilight cost]] is just not a good [[Value|value]] for a 9 [[strength]] minion that is usually-but-often-not [[Fierce]].

There are just too many better {{C|Ringwraith}} minions in the same niche. {{Card|Morgul Hound}} is less reliable but half the cost for the same stats. 4 twilight is where you can start looking at the cheap [[Nazgul]], and this just can't compete with {{Card|Ulaire Otsea, Thrall of the One}}, {{Card|Ulaire Lemenya, Assailing Minion}}, or {{Card|Ulaire Nertea, Thrall of the One}}. It's just as bad when you look at other cultures: cards like {{Card|Uruk Warrior}} or {{Card|Mordor Pillager}} are better minions at a lower price.

In [[Movie Block]] in particular, you can't always count on the Free Peoples player to play [[possession]]s for you to [[spot]], because of pervasive possession [[hate]] in the format and a number of strong [[artifact]]s that fill the same role. You can activate Cirith Ungol Warrior's game text on your own with Shadow possessions. However, this is unreliable with possessions [[Bear|borne]] by minions, and the worthwhile [[support area]] possessions are not in {{C|Ringwraith}} culture.

* Other [[Morgul Orc]] cards that benefit {{CultureIcon|Wraith}} orcs. Most notably {{Card|Flung into the Fray}}, {{Card|Stooping to the Kill}}, {{Card|Gothmog, Morgul Commander}}, and {{Card|Gorbag, Covetous Captain}}.
* ''List friendly cards that work well with this card''
* Shadow [[possession]]s, particularly cards that play to the [[support area]] like [[boats]] or {{Card|Ground, Hammer of the Underworld}}
* {{Card|Morgul Axe}}. This makes the Warrior Fierce, and Damage +1 is great on Fierce minions. It's just that it's equally as good on the much more efficient {{Card|Morgul Hound}}.
