General Strategy
Uruk-hai Guard has the same advantages as its predecessor, Uruk Guard, but with even more bonuses. With the numerous vitality boosting cards in the [uruk-hai] culture (Spear of the White Hand, Isengard Siege Bow, Lurtz's Bow), Uruk-hai Guard can prevent assignment to multiple companions. It also has a higher strength value, which is indicative of the extra strength minions gained post set 10 to help cope with the increasingly powerful companions that were released from set 8 onwards (Durin III; Cirdan; Arwen, Staunch Defender etc.).
