Strategy

The Dark Lord's Summons is a situational card drawing engine with an expensive cost. The Dark Lord's Summons can potentially discard an important Free Peoples card, so a form of telepathy or deck manipulation is best utilized with this card. Seeking Its Master is possibly a better hand extension card in Fellowship block, though Battle of Helms Deep expansion additions such as Grishnakh, Orc Captain and Orc Runner redefined the [Sauron] card drawing engine.

The Dark Lord's Summons became a pariah card with the release of Mordor Fiend. The combination of Mordor Fiend and the Dark Lord's Summons, when a deck has been filtered of all Free Peoples cards (via Erkenbrand's Horn) can, in theory, play an entire Shadow deck at one site.
