Strategy[edit]
Powerful site 9 in Fellowship Block, Tol Brandir is most commonly played with [Sauron] strategies that run Orc Ambusher, Orc Assassin, and Orc Scouting Band. Orc Scout and Uruk Scout are also playable via the site. Tol Brandir played a large role in adding Forces of Mordor to the restricted list, as multiple copies could potentially allow a Shadow player to play multiple Orc Scouting Band at the end of his or her shadow phase.
Don't count out seeing Tol Brandir in a [Moria] swarm deck, either. Sneaking a few copies of Orc Ambusher into the discard pile via They Are Coming or when reconciling can add to a devastating swarm.
Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]

Rulings[edit]
Because this site's action is a special ability, it is optional and may be done at any time the shadow player wishes (including after they have played other minions from their hand).
