Strategy[edit]

Uruk-hai Guard has the same advantages as its predecessor, Uruk Guard, but with even more bonuses. With the numerous vitality boosting cards in the [uruk-hai] culture (Spear of the White Hand, Isengard Siege Bow, Lurtz's Bow), Uruk-hai Guard can prevent assignment to multiple companions. It also has a higher strength value, which is indicative of the extra strength minions gained post set 10 to help cope with the increasingly powerful companions that were released from set 8 onwards (Durin III; Cirdan; Arwen, Staunch Defender etc.).

Strengths and Weaknesses[edit]

Strong Versus...[edit]

  • Decks that rely on a single fighter (Grimbeorn, Beorning Chieftain; Aragorn, Thorongil)
  • Can avoid skirmishing bearers of Followers
  • Companions that get bonuses for skirmishing (Jarnsmid, Barding Emissary; Bilbo, Aged Ring Bearer)

Weak Versus...[edit]

  • Decks with several strong fighters
  • Wounding decks
