They usually mess with my score at Journey along the Anduin.
If Wargs are not dealt a shadow card at all (e.g. through another card effect), then they do not return to the staging area (officially ruled by Nate French):

... the attempt to check whether or not that card has an effect does not trigger. (When the card would be revealed in combat, there is no card there.)

These guys are one of the more frustrating enemies to face during the encounter they show up because they always slink away just when you've set up a counterattack!

We all hate Wargs, but luckily we have Dunhere who can show them who´s the boss ;)

3/5 threat really annoying but not seriosly bad card.

Just to be sure.

 

Feint prevents their attack, so they don't even resolve shadow card and they stay engaded?

"After it attacks" means directly after we resolve dealing damage?

I'm not 100%, but I'd say since it didn't attack then there isn't a point "after it attacks" to check the shadow card.  So yea, it should stay engaged.

I really wish I had known this in my early days of playing- I had a couple of early Journeys Down the Anduin where this was the last card in the encounter deck, and I just sat there for several turns while my threat ticked up, hoping for Gandalf (as my only way of damaging them in the staging area). They're nowhere near as bad as some of the crazy enemies we have now, but in the early days these guys were definitely a challenge.
