A twilight restrictive card, Beauty is Fading is one of the few cards in the game that can discard a companion (with Fierce in Despair being another well known method) from play. That said, Beauty is Fading suffers from a huge twilight cost. It's restrictive twilight cost falls in line with its "Swiss Army Knife" ability to discard anything of the Shadow player's choosing. With the cheapest Nazgul at [2] twilight (with Morgul Gates), the twilight pool would need [7] to play the card, and the option of discarding a companion or ally is only achieved without a Free Peoples condition or possession in play. | A twilight restrictive card, Beauty is Fading is one of the few cards in the game that can discard a companion (with Fierce in Despair being another well known method) from play.

A twilight restrictive card, Beauty is Fading is one of the few cards in the game that can discard a companion (with Fierce in Despair being another well known method) from play. That said, Beauty is Fading suffers from a huge twilight cost. It's restrictive twilight cost falls in line with its "Swiss Army Knife" ability to discard anything of the Shadow player's choosing. With the cheapest Nazgul at [2] twilight (with Morgul Gates), the twilight pool would need [7] to play the card, and the option of discarding a companion or ally is only achieved without a Free Peoples condition or possession in play.
Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur, Stricken Dumb, Fear, and to a lesser extent, Loathsome, Ulaire Cantea, Faster than Winds, Mastered By Madness, and Black Dart are all more cost-effective Nazgul cards with more direct results. Of course, Grond, Hammer of the Underworld is the best card for dismantling a Free Peoples player's support cards.
