I haven't seen a song deck posted on RingsDB for a while! The Song Deck has been getting a few cards here and there for a long time but it's still fairly tricky to build a cohesive deck centered around songs. This Song deck was created and sent to my by RingsDB user Wandalf the … Continue reading Deck #79 – They Sang as the Slew

Deck #78 The Choice of Luthien
This two-hero deck was created and sent to me by my friend Mattastrophic. Mattastrophic is a friend of mine and we played through an entire campaign together in Portland before he moved out of country (and I still haven't forgiven him for leaving!). First Impressions The theme is strong with this deck! Two hero decks … Continue reading Deck #78 The Choice of Luthien
Scions of Arnor Fellowship
I asked for some more Dunedain decks to test and I was happy to get this Dunedain Fellowship from Onidsen. Playing complimentary decks should really help the Dunedain deck type since you kind of need a critical mass of enemies to make the "lots of enemies" Dunedain deck type works as its supposed to. First … Continue reading Scions of Arnor Fellowship
Deck #76 – My Super Solo Deck
This deck was built by MockTurtle36 who is one of my local friends in Portland. We've been playing LOTR together once a week for a couple years now and he's mentioned this deck to me a few times as one of his first powerful and reliable decks he built when he was seriously getting into … Continue reading Deck #76 – My Super Solo Deck
Deck #75 – No Pain, No Gain, No Dunedain
The Dunedain archetype is fascinating and can churn out some impressive results in the late game, but it certainly isn't one of the most popular deck styles and they seem to be best in multiplayer. As a solo deck style they seem to have willpower issues for the first half of the game which usually … Continue reading Deck #75 – No Pain, No Gain, No Dunedain
Deck #74 – Grimbard
Grimbeorn likes his attachments and it can be a challenge to pick accompanying heroes that provide the right sphere support to give him supporting attachments. Bard Son of Brand helps with that problem with his ability to pay for Item attachments from any sphere. The Hauberk of Mail is a great attachment for Grimbeorn since … Continue reading Deck #74 – Grimbard
Deck #72 – Beorn to be Wild
So far this Rhovanion/Ered Mithrin cycle hasn't been stingy with it's power level! LOTR LCG players have enjoyed the release of some very strong cards lately and Grimbeorn is the latest powerful furry hotness. The fascinating thing about Grimbeorn is that he functions in a similar capacity to his father Beorn, but you have to … Continue reading Deck #72 – Beorn to be Wild
Deck #73 – To Beorn or Not to Be
This second Grimbeorn deck I'm looking at was built and posted to RingsDB by Alduc. This as Beorny as you can get! It features both Beorn and Grimbeorn as heroes and has the full 3 copies of all 3 Beorning allies. The description acknowledges that willpower will be light in this deck but the Beornings … Continue reading Deck #73 – To Beorn or Not to Be
Deck #71 – Keep it Low, Then Hit ‘Em Hard
This dwarf deck caught my eye because it doesn't use the standard dwarf cards like Dain and Legacy of Durin. Dwalin is a little-used hero that I've been curious about as well so I'll load up some Orc heavy quests and give it a try! This deck was created and uploaded to RingsDB by new … Continue reading Deck #71 – Keep it Low, Then Hit ‘Em Hard
GENCON 2018 Report
I made the gamer's pilgrimage to Indianapolis and participated in the "Best Four Days In Gaming" this year! I had a great time! I got to play some great games, meet a lot of excellent people (including the designers of my two main games) and put faces and real names to internet handles. I also … Continue reading GENCON 2018 Report
