That's why I always choose the Berserker when I enter a new stage.
He he Betserker is weak but 25 threat he coming straight away and attack at least 2 times in a round. But yes you ger rid of shadow effect..... good idea clever
I played this one with a Rohan deck (Theoden, Eomer and Eowyn). Eomer's ability allowed me to kill the Berserker immediatly (sometimes I took the attack undefended). With Steed of the Mark or Rohan Warhorse he gets even better.
