'''Fearing the Worst''' is one of the strongest counters to [[tracker]]s in the game. In a [[choke]] deck, it can single-handedly shut down tracker-based decks like [[Sauron Grind]] and [[Uruk Trackers]].

It peaked in popularity in [[Towers Standard]]. Players combined it with {{Card|Legolas, Dauntless Hunter}} and other strong choke cards like {{Card|A Talent for Not Being Seen}} and {{Card|Bill the Pony}}. It shored up its [[matchup]] with Uruk Trackers, a popular Shadow side in the Towers Standard meta. Fearing the Worst dropped off after that format. Few tracker minions and no search cards were ever printed after [[Towers Block]], and none of them were common enough to justify such an expensive, narrowly-focused card.

* [[Sauron Grind]]. That deck relies on {{Card|Under the Watching Eye}}, which is itself a [[search]] card and requires [[tracker]] minions to be played.
* ''List enemy cards this card does well against''
* [[Uruk Trackers]]. Almost all of the [[minion]]s in most versions of this deck are [[uruk-hai]] [[tracker]]s, and many of its key [[event]]s and [[condition]]s have the [[search]] keyword.
* [[Sauron Discard]]/[[Sauron Initiative]] and some [[rogue]] {{C|Sauron}} decks run some of the efficient tracker minions from [[Towers Block]] and [[Return of the King]], like {{Card|Grishnakh, Orc Captain}}, {{Card|Orc Cutthroat}}, {{Card|Orc Patrol}}, {{Card|Orc Chaser}}, <!--Orc Pursuer-->{{Card|7C303}}, and {{Card|Orc Stalker}}.
* The only other decks that run any affected cards at all are [[Stupid Swarm]], which sometimes uses {{Card|Uruk Foot Soldier}}, and [[Enduring Nazgul]], which runs {{Card|Bent on Discovery}} and occasionally a copy or two of {{Card|Fear}}.
