| Notes
|
The original version of Mordor Enraged failed at what its intent was, to provide any sort of counter to Free Peoples archery, and subsequently became a bit of a joke. Any card which relies on the composition of your opponent's deck has the possibility of becoming dead weight, so the least it can do is be potent against the thing it's defending.
Shut down Legolas, Greenleaf (1R50) or Aragorn’s Bow (1R90) by effectively causing those abilities to cost more than they're worth, or keep Elven Bow (1C41) contributors exhausted as their more accomplished teammates mow down your Orc-line, giving you an opportunity you might capitalize on later.

Strategy[edit]
A borderline unplayable rare, Mordor Enraged has little-to-no use in any competitive deck.
Most archery-based Free Peoples strategies have the wounding capability to kill exhausted minions before even reaching the skirmish phase. Better twilight generation, such as Orc Insurgent, Orc Taskmaster, or the Restricted Forces of Mordor exist in the [Sauron] culture.
Perhaps the most interesting utility of this card is its ability to play on Sauron, The Lord of the Rings allowing him to exert for free (giving him extra strength via his enduring keyword). This naturally makes a minion a target for directed wounding.
Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]
Strong Versus...[edit]
- Spottable condition for Orc Butcher
- Twilight generation against Archers
- Synergy with Sauron, The Lord of the Rings and other Enduring [Sauron] minions like Orc Slaughterer
Weak Versus...[edit]
- Hand Clog
- Useless against decks without archers
- The ridicule of an opponent upon seeing the card in play
