Strategy

Useful for Nazgul beatdown in Fellowship block. Lord of Angmar's Fierce keyword and strength related ability make him much more suited to this role than Lord of the Nazgul. Lord of Angmar is rarely seen beyond Fellowship block however, as his game text is limited by the high cost of Nazgul and the strength bonus is often superfluous.

In the later sets, it is sometimes possible to produce "Nazgul Swarms" using cards such as Morgul Gates, Black Marshal, Dark Approach and Later than You Think. Captain of the Nine Riders is generally preferred for this purpose, but Lord of Angmar can be used with intent to likely overwhelm 2 characters, as his strength will probably be in the twenties.
