Used in mill decks to potentially give a shadow victory. Such decks often want to reach the end of the path first (Often via move limit modifiers), since no deck means no minions. If this fails, The Irresistible Shadow is a good backup, although its effect on any non-Frodo Ring-bearer is often marginal. Goes hand-in-hand with Desperate Defense of the Ring, but also works well with Thin and Stretched, Band of the Eye, Tower Lieutenant, Orc Inquisitor and Tower of Barad-dur. | Used in mill decks to potentially give a shadow victory.
