This Spirit/Leadership Dwarf deck was submitted for testing by RingsDB user Rimogard. I've had the pleasure of playing a couple decks by Rimogard before including The O'Silvans and B is for Beorn. This dwarf deck looks like it will be "swarmy with a dash of mining." The description is clear and gives you some combos … Continue reading Deck #51 The King of Durin’s Folk

This Dunedain deck was created and submitted for testing by Devaresh. Devaresh has recently launched his own blog, Reflection in Henneth Annun.

Gimli/LEgolas/Loragorn was created and posted to RingsDB by jamjams32.

This deck featuring Spirit Merry and the more permanent version of ally Gandalf … Continue reading Deck #41 Gandalf Kicks ASSumptions

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 #35 Tireless Rangers
This mono Spirit deck was created and published by RingsDB user McDog3. There seems to be a bit of a Vigilant Dunedan craze lately with decks featuring this ally published by TheChad, McDog3 and myself within 24 hours!
