Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Strengths:
  • Inexpensive casting cost makes it easy to fit into a turn.
  • Has the potential to remove an opponent's creature while simultaneously buffing your own.
  • Synergizes well with decks that run creatures with power 4 or greater, as they get a permanent +1/+1 counter.
• Weaknesses:
  • Sorcery speed means it can't be used as a combat trick.
  • The creature you control has to survive the fight to make the most of the buff.
  • The "fight" mechanic exposes your creature to potential harm.

Deck Utility:

• Green Stompy or Midrange: Good for decks that focus on larger creatures, as it provides a way to interact with the opponent's board while potentially adding a permanent counter to your creature.

• Removal: Can act as a removal spell in a deck that needs it, although it does require you to have a sufficiently strong creature on the board.

• Counter Strategies: Works well in decks that make use of +1/+1 counters.

• Lord of the Rings Theme: Fits thematically into a LotR-based deck.

Ent's Fury offers a lot for just two mana, particularly in decks that focus on larger creatures. While the sorcery speed limits its utility somewhat, the card can function as both a removal tool and a way to permanently strengthen one of your own creatures, provided it is powerful enough. Overall, it's a versatile card that can fit into a range of green-focused decks.
