A cheap and cheerful [isengard] minion with no text, Orthanc Warrior can be contrasted with Uruk Soldier from set 1, with the difference being the extra vitality over the other uruk's text. Since randomly discarding cards from an opponent's deck is unreliable unless a player's whole deck is built around it, Orthanc Warrior is usually a better choice for a deck, as having 2 vitality makes it more resistant to archery and wounding capabilities. Its strength is decent for a [2] cost minion, making Orthanc Warrior a reasonable choice of small minion for a player's deck. | A cheap and cheerful [isengard] minion with no text, Orthanc Warrior can be contrasted with Uruk Soldier from set 1, with the difference being the extra vitality over the other uruk's text.
