| '''The Witch-king, Morgul King''' is one of the strongest and most popular versions of [[the Witch-King]]. As long as you have a [[threat]] to consume, he can treat your [[Discard Pile]] as a toolbox, causing his value to increase as the game goes on and you burn through more of his deck. While his high [[twilight cost]] limits his value as a [[Hand Extension|hand extender]] in most situations, you'll often be able to afford a utility card or cheap minion. He also goes very well with the otherwise-difficult-to-use cards that can only be played on the Witch-King, particularly {{Card|The Pale Blade}}. Just discard the Pale Blade when you [[Reconcile|reconcile]], and pick it up again once you play the Witch-King.

|

|
| To use his game text, however, you'll need [[threat]]s. While you can get some threats from the [[site]]s like {{Card|Hall of the Kings}}, {{Card|City Gates}}, or {{Card|Dagorlad}} in [[King Block]]-based [[format]]s like [[Movie Block]], you'll generally need at least a trickle of threats from your own cards to make the most of Morgul King. Some of the best sources of threats are {{Card|Morgul Destroyer}}, {{Card|Ulaire Cantea, Faster than Winds}}, {{Card|Dark Swooping Shadows}}, {{Card|Ulaire Lemenya, Eternally Threatening}}, {{Card|Captured By The Ring}}, and {{Card|Fat One Wants It}}.
| |
|
| |
|
| Morgul King can also recur a card that can in turn recur himself. These cards include {{Card|Out of Sight and Shot}}, {{Card|Ring of Ire}}, {{Card|Ring of Asperity}}, and {{Card|Ring of Savagery}}. He can also always just grab another copy of himself, to sit in your hand until you play it next turn.
