Reviews

Along the Crooked Way is remarkably similar in design to Gathering of Darkness. I think this card is better, as it's cheaper, but not by a whole lot. No matter what the cost, getting a creature back from the while affecting the board in a meaningful way is good, so you should absolutely play this card.

Not a great card on rate, but the synergy Along the Crooked Way has with Mirkwood Nurturer is sick stuff.

How to draft it

  • Goblin Army Gets you extra cards

    Early your is empty, and later its 3 mana buys back a card instead of adding an attacker. The creature card it returns to your hand as it enters also 1, since every creature card leaving your graveyard does. For your Goblins and Orcs, the among them, gain until end of turn.

    How to play it

    It belongs only in a slower deck, after enough trades that the creature you get back is worth a turn. Gollum the Abandoned returning itself from your also 1 each time.
