Corsair War Galley enables the [[Southron Initiative]] strategy, wherein you use the [[Southrons]] from [[Return of the King]] and {{Card|Southron Invaders}} in conjunction with {{Card|Ships of Great Draught}} and the War Galley (sometimes also with a few [[Corsairs]] for token adding) to [[direct-wound]] your opponent to death. 

When playing this card, you need to watch out for [[possession]] removal, such as {{Card|Roll of Thunder}}, {{Card|Galadriel, Lady Redeemed}}, and in [[Expanded]] and [[Standard]] there is {{Card|Throne of Minas Tirith}} and {{Card|For the Mark}}. To counter this, you can play multiple copies of {{Card|Ships of Great Draught}} to [[recur]] it, and you can play multiples of the Galley itself, as it spots all {{C|Raider}} tokens in play. Another counter to this card are the [[Mount Doom]] [[initiative]] conditions, such as {{Card|Glimpse of Fate}} and {{Card|Hardy Garrison}}. An easy counter to this is to simply play your worst minion, triggering the conditions, then play the rest of your hand.

= Strengths and Weaknesses =
== Synergizes With... ==
* {{Card|Corsair Plunderer}} and {{Card|Corsair Lookout}}, as they need spot no other [[Corsair]] to [[reinforce]] tokens
* The cycle of [[Initiative]] wounding [[Southrons]] from [[Return of the King]]

== Strong Versus... ==
* The cycle of [[initiative]] conditions from [[Mount Doom]], as you can simply play your most worthless minion first
* Any strategy that likes having initiative

== Weak Versus... ==
* Mass [[possession]] [[hate]] like {{Card|Galadriel, Lady Redeemed}} and {{Card|Throne of Minas Tirith}}
