Like the Ancient Chieftain of [Moria] and Uruk Lieutenant of [Isengard], Morgul Warden is a minion who gets stronger with company. An otherwise generic strength 9, vitality 3 minion, Morgul Warden is somewhat limited by uniqueness in a deck that might focus on a swarm.

Strategy[edit]

Like the Ancient Chieftain of [Moria] and Uruk Lieutenant of [Isengard], Morgul Warden is a minion who gets stronger with company. An otherwise generic strength 9, vitality 3 minion, Morgul Warden is somewhat limited by uniqueness in a deck that might focus on a swarm. That said, in a well-played [Sauron] swarm (using the Battle of Helms Deep expansion trackers and a copy of Forces of Mordor), Morgul Warden can become a potent minion.

The more expensive Morgul Hunter tends to be a more popular deck filler than Morgul Warden, being neither limited by uniqueness or the strength of the minion "army" in play, and featuring one more vitality.

Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]

Strong Versus...[edit]

  • Three vitality [Sauron] Orc for conditions such as Desperate Defense of the Ring or Thin and Stretched
  • Plays best with [Sauron] tracker swarm, particularly at Tol Brandir

Weak Versus...[edit]

  • Directed wounding, such as Legolas, Greenleaf
  • Stand Against Darkness
  • Unique minion in culture prone to hand clog
  • A small swarm, where smaller minions are killed before focusing on this minion
