Still very early, but black is really performing pretty well for me. There are some really strong and synergistic commons in black. Most notably, [[Mirkwood Bats]] and [[Mordor Trebuchet]] paired with any goblin or amass/orc enablers is just absolutely devastating.

Black has the cleanest and strongest removal, and a lot if is also at common. [[Bitter Downfall]] (Uncommon) and [[Claim the Precious]] are both great, [[Lash of the Balrog]] is not difficult to run.

Other commons like [[Dunland Crebain]] are performing well. [[Gollum's Bite]] hits a lot of targets. And there are a few really efficient combat tricks that effectively double as removal in [[Orcish Medicine]] and the slightly worse [[Shelob's Ambush]].

I think it can be beneficial to take some of these commons early imo but I'm curious what anyone else's thoughts are.
