'''Gorbag, Lieutenant of Cirith Ungol''' is just not very good.
== Gameplay Strategy ==
''In this section, describe:''
 
* ''General usage''
* ''Unorthodox or subtle usage''
* ''Common pitfalls of using this card''


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.
== Deckbuilding Strategy ==
''In this section, describe:''


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 Chieftain}} 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}}.

* There are a number of [[Morgul Orcs]] in the same set that [[Pump|pump]] other {{CultureIcon|Ringwraith}} orcs, like {{Card|Morgul Lackey}}, {{Card|Morgul Predator}}, and {{Card|Morgul Regiment}}, and they are just as overpriced and mediocre as he is.

* I honestly can't think of a deck that would have a lot of trouble dealing with this minion. He's not strong and he's not tricky.
* ''List enemy cards this card does well against''


== Weak Versus... ==

* Any deck that can kill his Nazgûl backup before he gets a chance to skirmish.
* ''List enemy or friendly cards to avoid playing this card with''
* Most decks in [[King Standard]], [[King Block]], and [[Movie Block]], since [[strength]] 13 and [[Damage|damage +1]] is decent but not especially fearsome in those formats.
