Sting is an popular and iconic card from Fellowship Block. The card's ability to remove twilight when facing Orcs is invaluable, as the twilight removal capabilities allow the Free Peoples player to potentially play many Fellowship cards without flooding the twilight pool. Exerting Frodo isn't generally a problem, as most decks do not target him directly and he has more vitality than almost every other companion with The One Ring, Isildur's Bane. Three of the five major shadow races in Fellowship Block contain Orcs, and while the meta of Fellowship block leans less towards [Isengard] and [Sauron] Orcs, [Moria] remains one of the more popular shadow cultures. | Sting is an popular and iconic card from Fellowship Block.
