| While the ability of this card is undoubtedly effective (It's essentially a Lurtz's Battle Cry for Nazgul), the card itself is quite difficult to use. It requires a Nazgul that is set to win its skirmish and an[isengard] minion that can't be easily killed by the Free Peoples player, which greatly hinders its versatility. The primary issue with this card, particularly in Fellowship Block, is the amount of twilight needed to play both a strong Nazgul and a decent[isengard] minion. In the Two Towers, this card becomes slightly easier to use, as there is generally more twilight to go around and Nazgul can win skirmishes more easily. Additionally, Saruman, Black Traitor was introduced, who can be easily splashed into a Nazgul deck to trigger News of Mordor, and is at little risk of being killed by the Free Peoples player (Although he has easy access to Saruman's Staff if you need him to be a fighter). Since this card is an event, it can be easily held until needed and then played during skirmishes against wounded companions to unexpectedly kill them.
