Is Morg ever worth it for dwarves?

[waaght]

Can you think of any situation where Morg-n-Thorg would be worth taking for dwarves? He just seems too expensive to be worth it to me.

I would imagine if a dwarf team was down by 580 or more to another bash team.

Obviously the first choice would be a wizard, but after that he might make sense.

If you look at the Dwarf star players, then you have a few cheapie secret weapons, Grim (who is basically a ST4, AG3 trollslayer without MB) Zara and then Morg.

The secret weapons can be fun and against bash, Boomer is worth his 60k, Flint is good against lower AV teams and does have block, so is pretty survivable (especially if supported with a couple of guards). Barik is a waste of time, I'd only induce him if I had 120k of inducement money and had already taken Boomer, or had less than 100 against an agile team.

Grim doesn't really do anything a standard trollslayer doesn't do (apart from that he doesn't need an assist against ST4 opos) - I wouldn't really want to risk blocking against stronger opos in case he failed his dauntless and loner roll.

That leaves Morg and Zara. I've not had much luck with Zara, but she is a good player. Morg I think is worth it against other bash teams, he is ST6, has Block, MB and AV10. He won't need assists to get 2d blocks and is reliable.

What else are you gonna get for 430k? 2 bribes and a Merc deathroller for 390k would be the nearest equivalent I reckon, I think I'd prefer Morg tbh. The wizard is good, but dwarves are one of the worst teams at taking full advantage of using him. Against agility teams I'd rather have Zara and Flint for 400k though.

So in summary, he's worth it against bash.

Against clawplomb bash I guess babes and apos are pretty nice.

Or a deathroller and a pile of bribes for giggles Zara is excellent vs undead, indeed zara the ghoul slayer (the ones with blodge, sidestep, fend etc) has left many players sobbing. I can't see many situations where I would prefer a few players, but if say it was a roster of 11 stars vs the dwarves I might go morg. Then again jounreymen and cheap stars might be better on the line even then.

Morg is very good vs Orcs.
