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
Deck #87 – Slippery Silvans
I'm not entirely sure why, but I haven't played Silvan decks are much as many of the other deck styles in the game. Dave over at Card Talk (who goes by Card Talk on RingsDB) built this deck and sent it my way. Check out the full deck description to get some of the thoughts … Continue reading Deck #87 – Slippery Silvans
Friendship of Saruman Fellowship
I appreciate an aggro Grima as much as anybody but I've never tried to build a fellowship around him. Onidsen has taken on the challenge of creating a (reasonably) thematic two-deck fellowship using Wormtongue himself! First Impressions The first thing one looks for in a Grima fellowship is threat reduction and here both decks have … Continue reading Friendship of Saruman Fellowship
Deck #84 – Mobile Home for Elves
This Treebeard/Galadriel deck was built and shared on RingsDB by user SamthemanGamgee. I always enjoy playing with the hero version of Treebeard so this deck caught my attention. First Impressions This deck has some old cards, some proven combos and some brand new cards from our current cycle. I really like the look of this … Continue reading Deck #84 – Mobile Home for Elves
Deck #83 – The Trio of Terror
This deck was sent to me by Wandalf the Gizzard a while back and I'm just getting to trying it out. I apologize for the delay. First Impressions This is an "old school" deck full of great cards from the first two cycles of the game. So many good cards from Shadow and Flame, Watcher … Continue reading Deck #83 – The Trio of Terror
Deck #82 – Flash Outlands
The Outlands deck has always been a bit of a controversial deck type. I remember when that first Hunter of Lamedon came out in Heirs of Numenor and he looked so useless. It was amazing how quickly the unimportant Outlands of Gondor took it's place as one of the most powerful decks in the game! … Continue reading Deck #82 – Flash Outlands
Deck #81 – One Hundred Cards Deck
Since the LOTR LCG isn't a competitive card game, people often run more than 50 cards in their decks. 50 cards is a decently large deck for this kind of game and the Arkham LCG has brought that number down to 30. This deck by simone takes it to an entirely new level by doubling … Continue reading Deck #81 – One Hundred Cards Deck
Deck #80 – Flying Solo
When Tactics Eowyn was released, the Mono Tactics deck because a truly viable solo deck. When Hirgon was released, he catapulted this archetype into a very powerful position. This year Grimbeorn the Old is shaking up the Tactics meta again and I think he's here to stay! This mono Tactics Eagle deck was created and … Continue reading Deck #80 – Flying Solo
