General Strategy
Notable for cancelling the entire text of a companion, disabling keywords, special abilities and triggered effects. Treachery can cripple characters such as Madril, DoO; Gandalf, PG and Grimbeorn. It is however, an expensive card that only works with Grima. It synergises with Grima, SoaM, who can also cancel special abilities with his own text. Treachery also works well with [Man] versions of Grima, as either or both of these cards can be recalled via Fleet of Corsair Ships. Treachery can however be splashed with any Grima, and can help Uruk decks using Wormtongue and/or Saruman's Power to get around nasty Fellowship abilities that would otherwise wreak havoc.
Strengths and Weaknesses
Strong Versus...
- Game-text dependent characters (Madril, DoO; Gandalf, PG; Denethor, LRS and Grimbeorn)
Weak Versus...
- Choke
- Minion hate such as A New Light or Shadowplay + Unheeded
- Event hate such as Wise Guide
Rules and Clarifications
- Treachery cancels all game text in a similar fashion to Star-Glass. Its wording is different however, and it reads rather strangely.
Extra Information
- Servant of Another Master has a very similar ability.
- Treachery is similar to, but significantly stronger than, Haunting Her Steps.
