	'''Merry's Sword''' is a powerful [[direct wounding]] tool for dedicated {{C\|Rohan}} decks. It isn't especially popular, however, because of two significant limitations. First, it can only be played on [[Merry]], and doesn't work well with the gametext of any popular version of Merry. Second, the meta of [[King Block]] is very unfriendly to {{C\|Rohan}}, both because of [[power creep]] and because of very common [[Possession Removal\|possession hate]]. The sword is a fairly common sight in [[King Standard]], but is rarely seen in the more popular [[Movie Block]].
