This Dale deck was created and submitted for testing by RingsDB user Rimogard. It adds Spirit Beregond to the standard 2 Dale heroes we've been seeing in the new Dale archetype. I've played a good number of different Dale decks at this point and defense is one of the things the deck usually struggles with … Continue reading Deck #70 – Tale of Beregondale
Deck #69 – Leading Dale to Glory
This Dale deck caught my eye because it's hero lineup is entirely different than all the Dale decks that I've played so far. Beorn's Dale deck features 3 Leadership heroes so it can use Lord of Morthond combined with King of Dale to increase card draw. The deck description is concise and covers the key points … Continue reading Deck #69 – Leading Dale to Glory
Deck #68 – Gandalf Stormcrow
This deck caught my eye when it was first published on RingsDB but I didn't have a chance to play it right away. A couple days later a friend of mine recommended it to me so I'm going to take it for a spin! Gandalf Stormcrow was created and published on RingsDB by pconners. The … Continue reading Deck #68 – Gandalf Stormcrow
Dale for Days
The Wilds of Rhovanion was released abouta week ago and the eager deckbuilders are at work! This new deluxe box includes enough focused player cards to create a whole new deck style. While I haven't been able to pick up my physical copy yet (due to the incompetence of my local game store!), I've been … Continue reading Dale for Days
Fellowship #2 Three Hunters + Two Rings
Today I have a chance to play a fellowship of two decks submitted by Psychorocka. The first deck features strong Noldor heroes, a good bit of willpower and support and the second deck contains the Three Hunters as heroes and it covers the combat phase. First Impressions This combination looks entertaining! I like the looks … Continue reading Fellowship #2 Three Hunters + Two Rings
June Update
I haven't been getting as many articles up lately and I apologize for the lack of content but I have a good excuse! I've been spending a good bit of my game time playing and recording some 2-player games with my friend Mr Underhill. He does all the hard work of managing the stream, recording, … Continue reading June Update
Deck #61 Trap-a-lap-a-ding-dong
This mono-lore trap deck was created and published on RingsDB by Twelvesmallsquares. First Impressions This looks like a nice "toolbox" style of trap deck that includes a wide variety of cards. Lore certainly has a lot of interesting and tricky cards! The first thing I notice here is that nearly every card has 2 copies … Continue reading Deck #61 Trap-a-lap-a-ding-dong
Deck #60 Bear Meets Ents
I'm always happy playing an Ent Deck! This Ent deck has a different hero lineup that is assembled to cover the early game where the Ents are weakest. Beorn is a fantastic early game hero who can defend and kill off enemies in the early game, Eowyn gives a solid willpower base and Bifur is … Continue reading Deck #60 Bear Meets Ents
Deck #59 The One Deck
The One Deck has been born! Seastan has built a new deck that he has successfully played every quest in the game with and the community is enjoying it! This deck clearly doesn't need further testing after being played through every quest in the game (in nightmare mode when available) but I wanted to play … Continue reading Deck #59 The One Deck
Deck #58 No Jealousy or Rivalry
This thematic Gondor trap deck was created and published by Devaresh. He has recently started a blog called Reflection in Henneth Annun and you can find a dramatized retelling of a game of Escape from Umbar that features this deck here. Deverash sent this deck my way after seeing my last post featuring a trap … Continue reading Deck #58 No Jealousy or Rivalry
