Card Strengths and Weaknesses:

• Double Strike: Even though it's a 1/1, double strike makes it a potential threat that can hit harder than it looks.

• Card Advantage: The ability to exile and play the top card of your library when a Goblin or Orc deals combat damage adds incremental value over time.

• Situational: The creature has low toughness, making it vulnerable to removal and poor at blocking.

Deck Utility:

• Tribal Synergy: Ideal in a Goblin or Orc tribal deck to maximize its card advantage ability.

• Aggro: Fits well in aggressive red decks, especially those looking to benefit from extra card advantage.

• Combo Potential: Double strike on a low-cost creature can be exploited with various equipment or buff spells.

Moria Marauder may look weak with its 1/1 stats, but its abilities can make it a cornerstone in the right deck. Double strike makes it a surprise attacker, and its card advantage ability provides added fuel for aggressive or tribal decks. A versatile pick for decks that can protect it or exploit its traits.
