Ghastly Host

What is the use of Ghastly Host? At [2], why not just play the Nazgul in the first place and keep the threat out there?!

Nice catch. I still don't see the draw, but at least it makes better sense as a condition!

I have a deck centered around playing gollum to add threats to play nazgual cheaper, it works rather well.  I've gotten a 5 nazgual swarm vs 5 companions in movie block because of it.

I suppose I wouldn't consider five Nazgul a swarm, but I do see your point.

when they are all fierce, it can be quite... annoying. When I play this card at home, I use SSA and SBW so those 5 guls can do quite a bit of damage. If they replay companions next turn, I use the twilight to drop sauron :D

Oh, you had said Movie Block before.

Regardless, I do agree that five fierce Nazgul can be a hindrance.

I play it online in movie block, but with those cards it is especially fun

The point is to have it early game and then hope that it doesn't get discarded..than it can be very good...

Yeah, I'll be honest, I was skimming my brother's binder and thought it was an event.

Once I found out it was a condition...well, let's just say I feel a little silly.

For the records: I thought a long time too, this card is an event. Do not know why...  ;D

Dude, every time I see this card I think it's an event. I guess it could find use in threat Nazgul, maybe.
