I've been a little distracted with Con of the Rings and a computer game (Ultimate General: Civil War) that's been eating up my evening time lately and I've neglected this blog! This deck was sent to me a month ago by RingsDB user Sfrug and I'm just now getting to it. The deck description is … Continue reading A Secrecy Fellowship by Sfrug

An Orc, A Goblin and a Spider Walk Into a Trap by OKTarg
The Dunedain deck is a challenging archetype to make function as a solo deck. I've played and built lots of Dunedain decks but for the most part, they are usually built for a specific quest or for a multiplayer setting. This is a Dunedain deck built specifically to function on its own. This deck was … Continue reading An Orc, A Goblin and a Spider Walk Into a Trap by OKTarg
Hunting Bling by Tegyrius
The complete set of 7 Guarded attachments are all out now and there's a variety of opinions on how strong and useful these attachments are and also how appropriate they are in solo games vs multiplayer games. I made a "treasure hunting" deck a while back but that was well before we had all the … Continue reading Hunting Bling by Tegyrius
There and Back… and to the Side! by Kelfox
I enjoy a good side quest deck. More often than not I annoy those I'm playing with by side questing too much and too often! The current Ered Mithren cycle has a high ratio of quests that are extremely suitable for side quests but I still haven't noticed many side quest decks show up on … Continue reading There and Back… and to the Side! by Kelfox

Death by a Thousand Cuts by kypatzer
With Bilbo having been just released in his Tactics form, I'm eager to try a couple decks using this treasure hunter. He seems to be breathing new life into the Direct Damage deck while also making Guarded attachments a little more attractive at the same time. This low threat Bilbo deck was created and shared … Continue reading Death by a Thousand Cuts by kypatzer
Bard + Elrond by TritonWreck
I've been playing a lot of Dale recently (an upcoming episode of Three is Company may focus on Dale) and I recently thought of this combination of heroes but hadn't built the deck yet, but here it is! TritonWreck has put together a deck that utilizes the strengths of Dale and leverages Elrond's smoothing to … Continue reading Bard + Elrond by TritonWreck
Deck #88 – Radagast… the Wind Beneath My Wings
A Radagast deck? What new wizardy is this? This Eagle/Radagast deck was sent to me by MDuckworth83 on RingsDB. This deck uses Grima and Hirgon to reduce the cost of the expensive eagle allies and even runs the infamous Radagast ally to provide some more resources for playing and healing eagles. The deck description is … Continue reading Deck #88 – Radagast… the Wind Beneath My Wings
