General Strategy
Goblin Runner is played in most [moria] decks, as he essentially generates [1] twilight if he isn't roaming. While the Shadow player is limited to 4 copies of Goblin Runner in your deck, it is fairly easy to play the minion from discard using Host of Thousands, They Are Coming, The Balrog, Flame of Udun, or Host of Moria. Despite being fairly weak, this Orc is often given a Goblin Scimitar to boost his effectiveness in a [moria] swarm deck.
With its latent twilight generation, Goblin Runner can be splashed fairly easily into any deck. Goblin Runner remains a popular addition to most swarm archetypes including [Isengard] or [Sauron] swarm, or even included in a swarm that is simply a compilation of small, cheap minions (potentially with anti-Frodo support like Saruman's Snows).
Goblin Scrabbler can reduce his roaming cost.
