	Eater of Light just isn't very impressive on base rate. While eight [[vitality]] is exceptionally high and great for soaking [[archery]] or [[direct wounding]], it's usually overkill for most cases. If you're not taking advantage of her game text, her base strength is just not high enough for the 6-8 twilight she costs. Any strong combatant with a [[hand weapon]] can win skirmishes against her, and some, like {{Card\|Aragorn, Elessar Telcontar}}, {{Card\|Gil-Galad, Elven High King}}, and many [[ent]]s like {{Card\|Ent Horde}}, don't even need that. She doesn't even have the impact of a minion like {{Card\|Lurtz, Servant of Isengard}} or {{Card\|Ulaire Attea, Keeper of Dol Guldur}} let alone King Block juggernauts like {{Card\|The Witch-King, Morgul King}}, {{Card\|Orc Archer Troop}}, or {{Card\|Castamir of Umbar}}. Plus, because those other, more-dangerous juggernaut minions exist in the [[meta]], good Free Peoples decks have a gameplan to deal with single dangerous minions played over and over. So how do you get [[Value\|value]] from her?		Eater of Light just isn't very impressive on base rate.
