Notes Morgul Orc-based decks have been on the rise, largely due to the fall of some of the shadow decks that were above them while they themselves remained untouched. In particular there is a common style that pairs 4x Morgul Destroyer with 4x Morgul Brute (7R188) and a mess of support Nazgul, aiming to bury the fellowship in a horde of cheap Ring-bearer wounds and efficient 'roided Orcs.

Of the two, Brute is harder to touch due to burdens and corruption being more nuanced of a strategy, so Destroyer gets the nerfbat. Its twilight cost is increased from 2 -> 3, making it harder to dump a bunch all at once, and the ability has been reworked.

Instead of 2 threats for 1 Ring-bearer wound, the ability is now 1 threat for 1 wound that the Shadow player gets to place (which can still optionally be placed on the Ring-bearer). The reduced threat generation will make the minion's self-pump harder to utilize (especially en masse with the cost increase), but in return the payoff can occasionally be much sweeter if it nets you a dead Gandalf when the fellowship is backed into a corner, and players will be tempted to combo it with Brute a little less when the situation rises.
