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 #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 #74 – Grimbard
Grimbeorn likes his attachments and it can be a challenge to pick accompanying heroes that provide the right sphere support to give him supporting attachments. Bard Son of Brand helps with that problem with his ability to pay for Item attachments from any sphere. The Hauberk of Mail is a great attachment for Grimbeorn since … Continue reading Deck #74 – Grimbard
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
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 #56 Doomed Strider
Today we look at another deck by Marcelf who created the Sneaky Folco deck I looked at recently. This deck also features Folco Boffin (for a little while!) but this deck looks very different! The central idea here is to play a large quantity of Doomed cards early in the game to get your board … Continue reading Deck #56 Doomed Strider
Deck #55 Gandalf the White
The central idea in this deck is letting Hero Gandalf die halfway through a game and replacing him his more powerful ally version. When Fall of Gil-Galad on Gandalf, he should reduce your threat by 14 when leaves which gives you plenty of space to keep "Gandalf the White" around for the rest of the … Continue reading Deck #55 Gandalf the White
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 #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
