Deceive the Messenger⁣ - The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth⁣ (Common)⁣ [47]

Deceive the Messenger is an instant from The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth that targets a creature, giving it -3/-0 until the end of turn, while also allowing you to amass Orcs 1. This card is useful for weakening an opponent's creature during combat and simultaneously building your own Army, making it a solid choice for control or tempo strategies. However, it requires a blue mana and is best used in decks that can take advantage of the Army mechanic.
