Spirit of Mordor vs. Dunlendings

[eyhung]

Does Spirit of Mordor affect an Isengard/Dunlending army? Strictly speaking, the answer is no, as the card only affects armies from different NATIONS. However, according to the spirit of the card, I think it should. Since the card was made before the concept of factions were introduced, what is the official ruling on Spirit with dunlendings?

Excellent question! There is this sentence though in TottA.pdf, "Dunlendings are special Shadow (Isengard) Army units ...", which indicates that they are essentially Isengard units.

[Krieghund]

Yes, Dunlendings are Isengard units, so Spirit of Mordor cannot be played on an Army consisting only of Dunlendings and standard Isengard units.
