Editing Tracker

'''Tracker''' is an [[unloaded keyword]]. It only appears on {{C|Isengard}} [[uruk-hai]] and {{C|Sauron}} [[orc]] [[minion]] cards representing scouts, pursuers, messengers, and other outriders. The keyword appears on cards from [[Fellowship of the Ring]] to [[The Return of the King]], after which it was retired. Trackers often reduce each other's [[site number]]s or [[roaming]] penalties, and sometimes [[interact]] with [[Search]] cards. 

{{C|Isengard}} trackers are usually [[Fierce]] instead of being [[Damage]] +1 like most other uruk-hai. They have a deck archetype of their own: [[Uruk Trackers]].

{{C|Sauron}} Trackers are popular across a wide variety of decks. {{Card|Orc Ambusher}} is a dirt-cheap [[body]] for [[swarm]]s, and can be exerted by cards like {{Card|Hate}}. {{Card|Grishnakh, Orc Captain}}, {{Card|Orc Cutthroat}}, and {{Card|Orc Patrol}} are all efficiently-priced tools for almost any {{CultureIcon|Sauron}} deck. Trackers are a key part of [[Sauron Grind]], which uses {{Card|Under the Watching Eye}} and {{Card|Orc Scouting Band}}. Trackers are also key to [[Sauron Initiative]], which uses minions like {{Card|Orc Chaser}}, <!--Orc Pursuer-->{{Card|7C303}}, and {{Card|Orc Stalker}}. [[Sauron Roaming]] has an unusual relationship with trackers: the deck appreciates the trackers from early sets like {{Card|Orc Ambusher}} that reduce the roaming penalty, but should avoid cards like {{Card|Grishnakh, Orc Captain}} that prevent your orcs from roaming at earlier sites.

The Tracker keyword was retired after [[The Return of the King]]. It was later succeeded by [[Hunter]] in [[The Hunters]]. Many of the Tracker minions later appeared on new cards as Hunter minions, but the Hunter keyword is a [[loaded keyword]] that also appears on [[Free Peoples]] [[companion]]s.

* [[Ranger]]s, a keyword found on {{C|Gondor}} and some {{C|Elven}} [[companion]]s. Rangers and their associated cards often have the opposite effect, increasing minions' site numbers and punishing roaming minions.
