This Ent deck was built and sent to me by RingsDB user Christian_Medic. Ents are good. They're cheap and have tons of stats, but the challenge is always getting them on the board fast enough. This deck uses Grima for instant resource acceleration to get those heavy allies on the board as soon as possible … Continue reading Song of the Ents by Christian_Medic

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 #78 The Choice of Luthien
This two-hero deck was created and sent to me by my friend Mattastrophic.

First Impressions The theme is strong with this deck! Two hero decks … Continue reading Deck #78 The Choice of Luthien
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 #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 #40 Noldor Fighting Like Dunedain
The Noldor deck type has been my favorite style for a few months now so my interest was piqued when I saw this variation on the Noldor deck get published on RingsDB. Noldor Fighting Like Dunedain was created and uploaded by user Ryson. First Impressions I've played a good bit of Noldor and I've wished … Continue reading Deck #40 Noldor Fighting Like Dunedain
Deck #38 The Fellowship of the King
I must confess I've never played a one hero deck before. The closest I've come is starting with Fatty Bolger in Escape from Mount Gram. This one-hero deck was submitted for testing by RingsDB user RedSpider. This deck explores the thematic possibility of Frodo not continuing the journey after Rivendell and the Fellowship proceeding without … Continue reading Deck #38 The Fellowship of the King
