I haven't seen a song deck posted on RingsDB for a while! The Song Deck has been getting a few cards here and there for a long time but it's still fairly tricky to build a cohesive deck centered around songs. This Song deck was created and sent to my by RingsDB user Wandalf the … Continue reading Deck #79 – They Sang as the Slew

Deck #78 The Choice of Luthien
This two-hero deck was created and sent to me by my friend Mattastrophic. Mattastrophic is a friend of mine and we played through an entire campaign together in Portland before he moved out of country (and I still haven't forgiven him for leaving!). 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 #71 – Keep it Low, Then Hit ‘Em Hard
This dwarf deck caught my eye because it doesn't use the standard dwarf cards like Dain and Legacy of Durin. Dwalin is a little-used hero that I've been curious about as well so I'll load up some Orc heavy quests and give it a try! This deck was created and uploaded to RingsDB by new … Continue reading Deck #71 – Keep it Low, Then Hit ‘Em Hard
Deck #68 – Gandalf Stormcrow
This deck caught my eye when it was first published on RingsDB but I didn't have a chance to play it right away. A couple days later a friend of mine recommended it to me so I'm going to take it for a spin! Gandalf Stormcrow was created and published on RingsDB by pconners. The … Continue reading Deck #68 – Gandalf Stormcrow
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 #61 Trap-a-lap-a-ding-dong
This mono-lore trap deck was created and published on RingsDB by Twelvesmallsquares. First Impressions This looks like a nice "toolbox" style of trap deck that includes a wide variety of cards. Lore certainly has a lot of interesting and tricky cards! The first thing I notice here is that nearly every card has 2 copies … Continue reading Deck #61 Trap-a-lap-a-ding-dong
Deck #60 Bear Meets Ents
I'm always happy playing an Ent Deck! This Ent deck has a different hero lineup that is assembled to cover the early game where the Ents are weakest. Beorn is a fantastic early game hero who can defend and kill off enemies in the early game, Eowyn gives a solid willpower base and Bifur is … Continue reading Deck #60 Bear Meets Ents
Deck #59 The One Deck
The One Deck has been born! Seastan has built a new deck that he has successfully played every quest in the game with and the community is enjoying it! This deck clearly doesn't need further testing after being played through every quest in the game (in nightmare mode when available) but I wanted to play … Continue reading Deck #59 The One Deck
