Strategy

A [1] twilight support area condition, Uruk-Hai Armory reduces the Fellowship archery total by 1 with a spotted Uruk-Hai. A passable Support Area condition, Uruk-Hai Armory pairs with Their Arrows Enrage to dismantle the Free Peoples archery strategy against Uruk-Hai, especially as each condition is non-unique and the game text "stacks" (i.e., two copies of Uruk-Hai Armory with an Uruk in play make the Free Peoples archery total -2).

Uruk-Hai Armory is a meta card, and is useful if the Shadow player expects to face a heavy archery assault e.g. Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom with The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles and The Splendor of Their Banners, as well as many Elven archers. Archery is a popular deck choice in Fellowship Block, and is relevant in all formats. This condition works particularly well at Fellowship block site 6, where allies such as Rumil, Elven Protector and Orophin, Lorien Bowman may reside. That said, Uruk-Hai Armory does not prevent direct wounding during the archery phase, and is slightly inferior to Saruman, Keeper of Isengard (Although it can be used in addition to him).
