The card is mainly useful for its site liberation effect. Liberating a site unexpectedly can throw off skirmish bonuses for cards like {{Card|Dunlending Elder}} in [[Dunland Site Control]] or {{Card|Tower Walkway}} in [[Besieger]]s.

If your opponent hasn't played a card that mentions controlling sites by about site 4, you can probably safely assume they're not going to. | The card is mainly useful for its site liberation effect.

As a wounding card, Sword-wall is fine but unremarkable. It's useful for shutting down minions with obnoxious [[skirmish phase]] or [[regroup phase]] exertion abilities like {{Card|Orc Scouting Band}} or {{Card|Isengard Worker}}. It can also set up various {{C|Elven}} effects that spot wounded minions, like {{Card|Lorien Swordsman}}, {{Card|Blades Drawn}}, {{Card|Feathered}}, and {{Card|Arwen, Queen of Elves and Men}}. You can also just use it to notch an extra wound on a minion to make sure it dies when it loses its skirmish, if you'd rather. The cost is negligible since it comes so late in the turn, unless you're planning to move again this round or playing against {{C| | As a wounding card, Sword-wall is fine but unremarkable.
