There's so many new deck types to test now! These new contracts are creating a massive amount of new decks to explore and enjoy. I've been so busy creating and playing decks that I've again neglected this blog. But today I get to look at a Grey Wanderer contract deck and this is a contract … Continue reading Fair Ithilien by banania

Song of the Ents by Christian_Medic
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
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
Deck #88 – Radagast… the Wind Beneath My Wings
A Radagast deck? What new wizardy is this? This Eagle/Radagast deck was sent to me by MDuckworth83 on RingsDB. This deck uses Grima and Hirgon to reduce the cost of the expensive eagle allies and even runs the infamous Radagast ally to provide some more resources for playing and healing eagles. The deck description is … Continue reading Deck #88 – Radagast… the Wind Beneath My Wings
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 #84 – Mobile Home for Elves
This Treebeard/Galadriel deck was built and shared on RingsDB by user SamthemanGamgee. I always enjoy playing with the hero version of Treebeard so this deck caught my attention. First Impressions This deck has some old cards, some proven combos and some brand new cards from our current cycle. I really like the look of this … Continue reading Deck #84 – Mobile Home for Elves
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 #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 #81 – One Hundred Cards Deck
Since the LOTR LCG isn't a competitive card game, people often run more than 50 cards in their decks. 50 cards is a decently large deck for this kind of game and the Arkham LCG has brought that number down to 30. This deck by simone takes it to an entirely new level by doubling … Continue reading Deck #81 – One Hundred Cards Deck
