This Aragorn/Arwen deck was built and sent to me by RingsDB user Elessar010 who runs The Book of Elessar blog and video series. If you haven't discovered this project yet, you should take a look! He's playing through the quest from the beginning with Aragorn featured in every deck. Not only is he playing all … Continue reading Elessar Undimmed by Elessar010

A Secrecy Fellowship by Sfrug
I've been a little distracted with Con of the Rings and a computer game (Ultimate General: Civil War) that's been eating up my evening time lately and I've neglected this blog! This deck was sent to me a month ago by RingsDB user Sfrug and I'm just now getting to it. The deck description is … Continue reading A Secrecy Fellowship by Sfrug
An Orc, A Goblin and a Spider Walk Into a Trap by OKTarg
The Dunedain deck is a challenging archetype to make function as a solo deck. I've played and built lots of Dunedain decks but for the most part, they are usually built for a specific quest or for a multiplayer setting. This is a Dunedain deck built specifically to function on its own. This deck was … Continue reading An Orc, A Goblin and a Spider Walk Into a Trap by OKTarg
A King, A Prince and a Shield-Maiden by SwampFox4776
This thematic Tactics/Leadership deck was built and sent to my by RingsDB use SwampFox4776. The hero lineup includes some of the primary characters from the Battle of Pelannor Fields and the new leadership that came out of the losses taken in that battle. With Beorn being the exception, the allies are all Rohan and Gondor … Continue reading A King, A Prince and a Shield-Maiden by SwampFox4776
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 #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 #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 #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 #70 – Tale of Beregondale
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
