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

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
Deck #57 Traptics
The "Trap Deck" has been around for a good while but there's isn't one definitive version out there yet. While most trap decks are mono Lore, the recent release (3 months is "recent" in LOTR time) of Followed and the Emyn Arnen Ranger has breathed new life and possibilities into an already interesting deck type. Traptics … Continue reading Deck #57 Traptics
Deck #54 Sneaky Folco
This Secrecy deck was created and submitted to this blog for testing by RingsDB user Marcelf. The deck starts at a low threat level and aims to get the Spirit Imrahil ally into play by a variety of methods, then drop its threat level by sending Folco to the discard pile while turning Imrahil into … Continue reading Deck #54 Sneaky Folco
Deck #53 Cirdan’s Support Group
This is a fantastic deck that I've played several times before the deck was sent to my blog for testing. It was submitted to this blog for some advice on making it more viable in solo games. This deck has a very specific and effective goal it works towards and it looks very odd "on … Continue reading Deck #53 Cirdan’s Support Group
Deck #52 Seastan’s Harad Deck
I'm a big fan of the Harad deck style and while Seastan's decks certainly don't need outside testing, I wanted to play it so I thought I write a short post as I played some games. This creatively named Harad deck was created and shared on RingsDB by Seastan. This features the standard set of Harad allies … Continue reading Deck #52 Seastan’s Harad Deck
Deck #51 The King of Durin’s Folk
This Spirit/Leadership Dwarf deck was submitted for testing by RingsDB user Rimogard. I've had the pleasure of playing a couple decks by Rimogard before including The O'Silvans and B is for Beorn. This dwarf deck looks like it will be "swarmy with a dash of mining." The description is clear and gives you some combos … Continue reading Deck #51 The King of Durin’s Folk
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 #46 Requiem of a Green Dragon
Today we'll look at a recently posted Hobbit deck featuring Sam, T Merry and Folco Boffin. This deck was created and posted to RingsDB by user Devaresh. First Impressions This deck is similar to the classic Black Riders Hobbit deck that has been around for a while, but it features several of the new … Continue reading Deck #46 Requiem of a Green Dragon
Deck #45 Gimli/Legolas/Loragorn
Gimli/LEgolas/Loragorn was created and posted to RingsDB by jamjams32. This Three Hunters deck explores combining the new Sands of Harad version of Gimli and Legolas with Lore Aragorn and the set of powerful Doomed cards that should help get the deck set up quickly. First Impressions I like the basic idea of this deck. … Continue reading Deck #45 Gimli/Legolas/Loragorn
