Site 2 goes the other way, punishing a Free Peoples player who loses [[initiative]] by playing too many cards on their first turn. The punishment varies depending on the site: two options make it easier to play minions (and are more or less interchangeable), while one simply [[stop]]s the Free Peoples player as long as the Shadow player plays at least one minion. Again, these sites are mostly interchangeable depending on taste. | Site 2 goes the other way, punishing a Free Peoples player who loses [[initiative]] by playing too many cards on their first turn.

Site 3 helps Free Peoples decks set up in exchange for [[threat]]s. {{Card|Hall of the Kings}} is the generically most-useful site: it's useful to any Free Peoples deck that isn't already running up against the [[Rule of 4]] that turn. The others are more situational. {{Card|The Dimholt}} is only useful to [[Gondor Wraiths]]. {{Card|Base of Mindolluin}} is very important to [[Gondor Knights]] (usually to grab {{Card|Sixth Level}}), and largely useless for most other decks. {{Card|Beacon of Minas Tirith}} is useful to decks that want to exert a character to set up | Site 3 helps Free Peoples decks set up in exchange for [[threat]]s. {{Card|Hall of the Kings}} is the generically most-useful site: it's useful to any Free Peoples deck that isn't already running up against the [[Rule of 4]] that turn.

These sites mean that most Free Peoples decks will set some threats unless they make a conscious decision not to, and setting a threat or two in the first turn or two (perhaps with {{Card|Captured by the Ring}} or {{Card|Rallying Call}}) can slow down your opponent's Free Peoples development somewhat. | ||
Site 4 allows the Shadow player to convert any random [[burden]]s (such as from a starting [[bid]] or {{Card|The Binding Ring}}) into some sort of benefit. <!--Anduin Banks-->{{Card|7U341}} is the most generically useful to the Shadow player, although {{Card|Pelennor Prairie}} is almost as easy to use and can discard [[condition]]s that are protected by a card like {{Card|Pippin, Friend to Frodo}}. {{Card|City of the Dead}} can grab powerful [[Enduring]] minions that are popular in this format, like {{Card|Ulaire Enquea, Thrall of the One}}, {{Card|Shelob, Her Ladyship}}, or {{Card|Orc Slaughterer}}, albeit at a high cost. {{Card|Osgiliath Fallen}} and {{Card|Pelennor Plain}} are hard for the Shadow player to use at all, but sometimes they're used specifically because of that. | Site 4 allows the Shadow player to convert any random [[burden]]s (such as from a starting [[bid]] or {{Card|The Binding Ring}}) into some sort of benefit. <!--Anduin Banks-->{{Card|7U341}} is the most generically useful to the Shadow player, although {{Card|Pelennor Prairie}} is almost as easy to use and can discard [[condition]]s that are protected by a card like {{Card|Pippin, Friend to Frodo}}. {{Card|City of the Dead}} can grab powerful [[Enduring]] minions that are popular in this format, like {{Card|Ulaire Enquea, Thrall of the One}}, {{Card|Shelob, Her Ladyship}}, or {{Card|Orc Slaughterer}}, albeit at a high cost. {{Card|Osgiliath Fallen}} and {{Card|Pelennor Plain}} are hard for the Shadow player to use at all, but sometimes they're used specifically because of that. |
