Notes Allowing Captain to exert any Uruk-hai to play another from the discard pile often led to endless chains of Uruk-hai swarm in both formats. This was amplified in Movie with two interactions: Cirith Ungol Uruks who are stronger than FOTR Uruks for the same cost, all have 2 vitality and in the case of Sentinel are practically free.; Endless Night allowing for a swarm of low cost damage +1 Uruk-hai archers. Which is devastating even outside of Brownlands. To address this Captain is being changed to: Shadow: Remove and exert a unique Uruk-hai to play an Uruk-hai from your discard pile. This still allows for Captain to bring out a strong showing of Uruk-hai and recycle key minions more easily than the original, but removes the possibility of chaining cheap, low strength, damage+1 Uruk-hai who might all also be archers.

Notes Uruk Captain is one of the mainstays, but he's always been more of a Lurtz-fisher than anything. Now his ability exerts any uruk, meaning you can use him to chain a swarm if you have enough twilight (and vitality) to spare.
