'''Úlairë Enquëa, Thrall of the One''' is the heart of one of the strongest [[corruption]] [[Value Engine|engine]]s in [[Movie Block]] and [[Expanded Format|Expanded]]. As long as you can stack [[wound]]s on Enquëa TOTO before the end of his skirmish, this [[Nazgul]] can turn each of them into [[burden]]s, powering other {{C|Wraith}} cards. Once he makes it to a skirmish, simply use his ability to heal himself and burden the [[ring-bearer]] for each wound on him. This does mean giving up the +2 strength from each wound from [[Enduring]], but even if he loses the skirmish, it's usually a worthwhile tradeoff. | '''Úlairë Enquëa, Thrall of the One''' is the heart of one of the strongest [[corruption]] [[Value Engine|engine]]s in [[Movie Block]] and [[Expanded Format|Expanded]].

* [[Direct wounding]] and [[fortification]]s. Exerting Enquëa TOTO down to low vitality leaves him vulnerable to being picked off by cards like {{Card|Legolas, Greenleaf}}, {{Card|Aragorn's Bow}}, {{Card|Citadel of the Stars}}, {{Card|Don't Look At Them}}, {{Card|Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade}}, {{Card|Terrible and Evil}}, {{Card|Unheeded}}, or many, many others. {{Card|Eowyn, Lady of Ithilien}} deserves special mention as a nightmare to play around. | * [[Direct wounding]] and [[fortification]]s.

* High-resistance ring-bearers. {{Card|Frodo, Resolute Hobbit}} is a huge pain, but only a little bit more than any version of [[Frodo]]. {{Card|Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom}} can occasionally get almost as high in an {{C|Elven}} deck. | * High-resistance ring-bearers. {{Card|Frodo, Resolute Hobbit}} is a huge pain, but only a little bit more than any version of [[Frodo]]. {{Card|Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom}} can occasionally get almost as high in an {{C|Elven}} deck. | ||
