Middle-earth: Dark Minions

Middle-earth: Dark Minions, released in 1996, was the second expansion set for Middle-earth: The Wizards, the first basic set of Middle-earth Collectible Card Game.

Dark Minions adds many powerful hazard cards including more Undead and introduces the agents - a subtle group of Sauron's servants, concentrating on intrigue and influence. The set also adds an underground network of site cards, the Under-deeps, which later also becomes The Balrog's realm (for Middle-earth: The Balrog).

Dark Minions was sold in booster packs of 15 cards (36 boosters per display), featuring 1 rare, 4 uncommons and 10 commons per booster pack. A corresponding player guide was also released.
