The "Trap Deck" has been around for a good while but there's isn't one definitive version out there yet. While most trap decks are mono Lore, the recent release (3 months is "recent" in LOTR time) of Followed and the Emyn Arnen Ranger has breathed new life and possibilities into an already interesting deck type. Traptics … Continue reading Deck #57 Traptics

Deck #56 Doomed Strider
Today we look at another deck by Marcelf who created the Sneaky Folco deck I looked at recently. This deck also features Folco Boffin (for a little while!) but this deck looks very different! The central idea here is to play a large quantity of Doomed cards early in the game to get your board … Continue reading Deck #56 Doomed Strider
Deck #55 Gandalf the White
The central idea in this deck is letting Hero Gandalf die halfway through a game and replacing him his more powerful ally version. When Fall of Gil-Galad on Gandalf, he should reduce your threat by 14 when leaves which gives you plenty of space to keep "Gandalf the White" around for the rest of the … Continue reading Deck #55 Gandalf the White
Deck #54 Sneaky Folco
This Secrecy deck was created and submitted to this blog for testing by RingsDB user Marcelf. The deck starts at a low threat level and aims to get the Spirit Imrahil ally into play by a variety of methods, then drop its threat level by sending Folco to the discard pile while turning Imrahil into … Continue reading Deck #54 Sneaky Folco
Deck #53 Cirdan’s Support Group
This is a fantastic deck that I've played several times before the deck was sent to my blog for testing. It was submitted to this blog for some advice on making it more viable in solo games. This deck has a very specific and effective goal it works towards and it looks very odd "on … Continue reading Deck #53 Cirdan’s Support Group
Deck #52 Seastan’s Harad Deck
I'm a big fan of the Harad deck style and while Seastan's decks certainly don't need outside testing, I wanted to play it so I thought I write a short post as I played some games. This creatively named Harad deck was created and shared on RingsDB by Seastan. This features the standard set of Harad allies … Continue reading Deck #52 Seastan’s Harad Deck
Deck #51 The King of Durin’s Folk
This Spirit/Leadership Dwarf deck was submitted for testing by RingsDB user Rimogard. I've had the pleasure of playing a couple decks by Rimogard before including The O'Silvans and B is for Beorn. This dwarf deck looks like it will be "swarmy with a dash of mining." The description is clear and gives you some combos … Continue reading Deck #51 The King of Durin’s Folk
Deck #50 Doom of Estel: Hope of the Dunedain
This Dunedain deck was created and submitted for testing by Devaresh. Devaresh has recently launched his own blog, Reflection in Henneth Annun. It looks like he has plans to post deck spotlights, thematic game play narratives and even a First Age themed deck series! The title for this deck puzzled me a little so I … Continue reading Deck #50 Doom of Estel: Hope of the Dunedain

Deck #48 Without a Song
An Ent deck featuring Treebeard hero! This "alternative" Ent deck was created and shared on RingsDB by sappidus. While packing the standard lineup of Ent allies, this deck features an unconventional set of heroes who bring along a different set of support cards which prove very effective. First Impressions Treebeard is a tricky hero … Continue reading Deck #48 Without a Song
