This Spirit/Leadership super-readying deck was created and posted to RingsDB by user sappidus. It features Cirdan, one of my all-time favorite heroes, Spirit Legolas who I've been using a lot of lately, and Theodred, an old core set hero that I never use for some reason (I know he's good but I never grab him). … Continue reading Deck #43 Uppity

Deck #42 Mustering Gondor’s Might
Gondor decks have been slowly evolving for several years now, but they still don't come up often on RingsDB. While Hirgon feels like a Rohan hero since he fits so well with Theoden and Eowyn, he can actually be used effectively in a Gondor deck like this! This Gondor deck was created and uploaded to … Continue reading Deck #42 Mustering Gondor’s Might
Deck #37 Dain, King Under the Mountain
There seems to be a dwarf revival! The RingsDB homepage has been dominated by dwarf decks all week! I'm happy to see dwarves get some play again! Maybe the recent errata has been healthy for the dwarves. It's true that they have some very powerful options available that can become overpowered if built "correctly," but … Continue reading Deck #37 Dain, King Under the Mountain
Deck 36 Cheaters Prosper
Today I'll look at a new deck on RingsDB that focuses on getting expensive into play for "free." Cheaters Prosper was created and uploaded to RingsDB by user Denison. The deck contains 40 allies and a few key attachments and events to help get them into play for reduced cost. First Impressions It looks like … Continue reading Deck 36 Cheaters Prosper
Deck #34 Adventures of Thorongil: Counsel of the White Wizard
This Doomed deck was created and uploaded to RingsDB by user WingfootRanger. The deck has a thematic focus on Aragorn's adventures in Middle Earth before the events of the LOTR trilogy. First Impressions It's hard to go wrong with Grima! He's really an extremely strong hero for solo play! Erkenbrand is another of my favorites … Continue reading Deck #34 Adventures of Thorongil: Counsel of the White Wizard
Deck #33 Return of the Rune Masters
This deck was created and posted to RingsDB by user kinpatsusamurai. You should kinpatsusamurai on Instagram where he posts pictures of the Lord of the Rings LCG along with a wide variety of other gaming goodness! First Impressions I think Erkenbrand is one of the most undervalued heroes currently out there. With good defensive stats, … Continue reading Deck #33 Return of the Rune Masters
Deck #28 Some Very Good Tales
This deck focuses on getting temporary big allies into play through various means, then using them to get permanent beefy allies into play with A Very Good Tale. The deck was posted by RingsDB user Roka. The Tactics version of Prince Imrahil is the only hero I've never played before. I think I have an … Continue reading Deck #28 Some Very Good Tales
Deck #25 The Last Ships West
The Last Ships West was created and uploaded to Ringsdb by user Fantasty. It focuses on Legolas and Gimli and their last voyage from the Grey Havens into the West after King Aragorn passed away. The deck description is very thorough and lengthy. First Impressions I'm happy to see some more attention given to the … Continue reading Deck #25 The Last Ships West
Deck #19 Free Peoples in Secret
The Free Peoples is a fairly recent event card that has huge potential, but I haven't used as much as I hoped I would. Its a wonderfully thematic card, emphasizing the coming together of different people and races to fight against the shadow in Tolkien's world. I tend to play "tribal" decks more often than … Continue reading Deck #19 Free Peoples in Secret
Deck #10 – Secret Leadership
Another quick Folco deck test. This is a mono-leadership secrecy Folco deck! Not something I would have thought of but Sam and Denethor are certainly good candidates for starting heroes. Secret Leadership was created and uploaded to Ringsdb by user Denison. The deck includes a couple cards I've never played at all so I thought … Continue reading Deck #10 – Secret Leadership
