General Strategy

A rarely used weapon, Sword of Minas Morgul essentially provides Ulaire Lemenya with an upgraded version of Ulaire Cantea, Lieutenant of Dol Guldur's ability. However, with a twilight cost of [2] and being only playable on Lemenya, the user of this card is having to put in quite a bit of effort to use the combo in the first place, which is easily broken by directed wounding/archery or mounts from The Two Towers. The damage bonus, while useful, is weakened by the fact that Lemenya does not have the Fierce keyword, and is one of the weakest Nazgul. While not useless, the Sword of Minas Morgul is difficult to get a lot of use out of, and consequently other unique Swords like The Pale Blade and the Sword of Dol Guldur are preferred.
