= Strategy =


Threat of the Unknown is rarely played, despite its superficially useful appearance. It's a [[cycling]] card in a [[Shadow Alignment]] [[culture]] that already has very strong cycling tools, and often plays 1 vitality minions that can't be exerted. It competes directly with {{Card|Goblin Scimitar}}, which also draws cards while helping swarms of minions pose a threat to middling-strength [[companion]]s. Plus, most {{C|Moria}} decks play their Scimitars over and over again, using tools like {{Card|Goblin Scavengers}} and {{Card|Relics of Moria}}, and uses them to generate [[Twilight]] with multiple copies of {{Card|Goblin Armory}}, while each copy of this card is only useful once.


It's slightly more useful in [[Moria Archery]] and [[Moria Beatdown]], as those decks have more minions with 2+ vitality, but those decks rarely have enough room for this card.

Helpful card-drawing engine in [Moria] archery decks, which feature more high-vitality minions (Archer Commander, Moria Archery Troop) or [Moria] damage decks, which might feature Moria Axe over the ever-present Goblin Scimitar. Threat of the Unknown is a useful card drawing event.
