If you don't have a [[Nazgul]] in play, he's behind the curve. And even cheap Nazgûl cost four or five [[Twilight (Cost)|twilight]], so it can sometimes be a pain to afford them both, and he gets abruptly weaker if your opponent kills that ringwraith. If you do go to the effort to afford both, he's not really that fearsome! He doesn't come off well compared to cards like {{Card|Orthanc Champion}} or {{Card|Siege Commander}}. Like most of the other [[Morgul Orcs]] in [[Return of the King]] that specifically focus on supporting Nazgûl or {{CultureIcon|Ringwraith}} orcs, he's overcosted and underpowered. | If you don't have a [[Nazgul]] in play, he's behind the curve.

Later in [[King Block]] you can play him with {{Card|Gorbag's Sword}}, but that's not cheap, and by then he's even further behind the curve set by [[minion]]s like {{Card|Mumak | Later in [[King Block]] you can play him with {{Card|Gorbag's Sword}}, but that's not cheap, and by then he's even further behind the curve set by [[minion]]s like {{Card|Mumak Commander}} on a free {{Card|Mumak}}, {{Card|Gorgoroth Berserker}}, or his [[uruk-hai]] counterpart {{Card|Shagrat, Captain of Cirith Ungol}}. Most Morgul Orc decks that play any version of Gorbag at all will prefer {{Card|Gorbag, Covetous Captain}}. | ||
