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
Deck #79 – They Sang as the Slew
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
