Ancient Chieftain (1R163) Wiki
General Strategy
Like the Uruk Lieutenant in 
or Morgul Warden of 
, Ancient Chieftain is a minion who gets stronger with company. Despite being unique, Ancient Chieftain is an incredibly popular addition to 
swarm strategies, which often generate plenty of twilight to account for his 
cost. With 2 vitality, Ancient Chieftain is an option to absorb archery or bear the Moria Axe, making the minion even more dangerous.
Ancient Chieftain is usually easy to stack on Goblin Swarms, and with They Are Coming or Host of Thousands to tutor the minion from the discard pile, more than one or two copies is not necessary to a swarm-based deck, where the minion thrives.
