Deck #20 Shoot First, Ask Questions Later

December 31, 2017December 31, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

This is a unique deck built by Rings user Mr Underhill. The deck has no defender but aims to deal with enemies through either Haldir's combat action, or stopping it's attack through various event cards. Full disclosure: Mr Underhill and I talk about and play LOTR together a good bit and I asked to test … Continue reading Deck #20 Shoot First, Ask Questions Later

Deck #19 Free Peoples in Secret

December 30, 2017December 30, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

The Free Peoples is a fairly recent event card that has huge potential, but I haven't used as much as I hoped I would. Its a wonderfully thematic card, emphasizing the coming together of different people and races to fight against the shadow in Tolkien's world. I tend to play "tribal" decks more often than … Continue reading Deck #19 Free Peoples in Secret

Deck #18 Hall of Fire

December 30, 2017December 30, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

This song deck was posted recently by Rings user (and community genius) Seastan. This deck is notable for several reasons. First, it relies heavily on songs, with 17 song cards included in the list. Second, it contains literally zero allies. Three heroes are all you get. The deck is focused around the theme of Frodo … Continue reading Deck #18 Hall of Fire

Deck #17 Secret Paths Through the DrĂșadan Forest

December 25, 2017December 25, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

"Road is forgotten, but not by Wild Men. Over hill and behind hill it lies still under grass and tree, there behind Rimmon and down to Don, and back at the end to Horse-men's road. Wild Men will show you that road. Then you will kill gorgyn and drive away bad dark with bright iron, … Continue reading Deck #17 Secret Paths Through the DrĂșadan Forest

Deck #16 Tents for Ents

December 23, 2017December 23, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

I thought this would be quick post, but I ended up playing it several times. This variation on one of the standard forms of the Ent deck was created by Rings user ff0x. The description covers all you need to know if you've played ents before. Well written and clear. First Impressions This deck is … Continue reading Deck #16 Tents for Ents

Deck #15 Pickaxes and Pipes (Dwarven Miners)

December 22, 2017December 22, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

Ringsdb was a little slow today so I'm testing a deck that was posted by a friend a couple months ago. Dwarves have earned a bit of a bad reputation within the "hardcore" element of the community for being "too powerful" but the mining subtheme within the Dwarven faction has some tricky and very different … Continue reading Deck #15 Pickaxes and Pipes (Dwarven Miners)

Deck #14 Beregond Keeps a Low Profile

December 21, 2017December 21, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

This deck caught my eye today because the Beregond/Eowyn/Glorfindel combo was one of my standby decks for years, but using Tactics Beregond and Spirit Eowyn. This deck is a new take on one of my favorite combos! Created and uploaded to Ringsdb by user Thejuggler2000, Beregond Keeps a Low Profile starts at a fantastic 21 … Continue reading Deck #14 Beregond Keeps a Low Profile

Deck #13 Lords of the Mark

December 20, 2017December 20, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

Deck building for Rohan is getting richer and richer every cycle! This deck was created and uploaded to Ringsdb by user Obsidian22. First Impressions The list looks fairly solid! I'm a little surprised not to see some of the more recent additions to Rohan's cardpool (Guthwine primarily). The description indicates that Gamling is crucial to … Continue reading Deck #13 Lords of the Mark

Deck #12 Songs for Rosie

December 18, 2017December 18, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

I couldn't help myself. One more quick test of a deck featuring Folco Boffin. This deck was created by Beorn of Hall of Beorn fame and actually highlights Ms. Rosie Cotton and her singing prowess! First Impressions The deck description is clear: power up Rosie to power up Sam! Having seen Rosie go crazy before, … Continue reading Deck #12 Songs for Rosie

Deck #11 Folco the Grey

December 18, 2017 / josephforster86 / Leave a comment

Folco is everywhere! I'll move onto another type of deck next, I promise! This deck was uploaded a couple days ago by Rings user TheChad, who is also one of the hosts on Cardboard of the Rings. First Impressions The idea behind this is to start in Secrecy, get the board fairly well set up, … Continue reading Deck #11 Folco the Grey
