| '''Corsair War Galley''' is a potent initiative tool for the {{C|Raider}} [[culture]]. With [[Corsairs]]' various token-adding tricks, it is easy to gain the threshold of 6 {{C|Raider}} tokens on any card. | | == Gameplay Strategy == |
| | | ''In this section, describe:'' |
| Because of the fact that Corsair War Galley spots {{C|Raider}} tokens on any {{C|Raider}} card, you can easily gain initiative and [[cycle]] your hand with {{Card|Ships of Great Draught}}. This fits snugly in either an [[Initiative Southron]] or [[Corsair]] strategy, as both need initiative to be completely effective, and having recursion in {{Card|Ships of Great}} is a helpful bonus.
| |
|
| |
|
| Within the [[Corsair]] archetype, gaining [[initiative]] allows for powerful cards like {{Card|Corsair Lookout}} and {{Card|Wind That Sped Ships}} to function. When you have multiple copies of the War Galley and a fleet of [[boats]] in your [[support area]], you can discard a galley to allow for a well-timed {{Card|Fierce in Despair}}.

|
| 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.
