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 #72 – Beorn to be Wild
So far this Rhovanion/Ered Mithrin cycle hasn't been stingy with it's power level! LOTR LCG players have enjoyed the release of some very strong cards lately and Grimbeorn is the latest powerful furry hotness. The fascinating thing about Grimbeorn is that he functions in a similar capacity to his father Beorn, but you have to … Continue reading Deck #72 – Beorn to be Wild
Deck #73 – To Beorn or Not to Be
This second Grimbeorn deck I'm looking at was built and posted to RingsDB by Alduc. This as Beorny as you can get! It features both Beorn and Grimbeorn as heroes and has the full 3 copies of all 3 Beorning allies. The description acknowledges that willpower will be light in this deck but the Beornings … Continue reading Deck #73 – To Beorn or Not to Be
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 #70 – Tale of Beregondale
This Dale deck was created and submitted for testing by RingsDB user Rimogard. It adds Spirit Beregond to the standard 2 Dale heroes we've been seeing in the new Dale archetype. I've played a good number of different Dale decks at this point and defense is one of the things the deck usually struggles with … Continue reading Deck #70 – Tale of Beregondale
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 #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 #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 #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
