Throne of Isengard is an incredibly powerful card, however there is a large risk when using it that it will serve as a double-edged sword, due to its passive strength and damage bonus to all Wizards. There are 6 Wizard cards in LOTR TCG: Gandalf, Radagast, Saruman, Pallando Deceived, Alatar Deceived and Radagast Deceived. 2 of these Wizards could potentially belong to your opponent, in which case ToI is actually helping them out rather than you. As such, it's inadvisable to use this card unless you have a dedicated Deceived Wizards deck, or your opponent has neither Gandalf nor Radagast. Bear in mind that, being an artifact, it's highly unlikely to be discarded; once you have played it, it will likely remain in play for the entire game. | Throne of Isengard is an incredibly powerful card, however there is a large risk when using it that it will serve as a double-edged sword, due to its passive strength and damage bonus to all Wizards.
