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
Deck #58 No Jealousy or Rivalry
This thematic Gondor trap deck was created and published by Devaresh. He has recently started a blog called Reflection in Henneth Annun and you can find a dramatized retelling of a game of Escape from Umbar that features this deck here. Deverash sent this deck my way after seeing my last post featuring a trap … Continue reading Deck #58 No Jealousy or Rivalry
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 #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 #47 B is for Beorn
This deck featuring Beorn, Arwen and Galadriel was submitted for testing by Rimogard. This appears to be a refined version of a deck idea that he has been playing for a while. In his submission he said this was tweaked to specifically beat the Morgul Vale so I'll have to make sure to test it … Continue reading Deck #47 B is for Beorn
Deck #46 Requiem of a Green Dragon
Today we'll look at a recently posted Hobbit deck featuring Sam, T Merry and Folco Boffin. This deck was created and posted to RingsDB by user Devaresh. First Impressions This deck is similar to the classic Black Riders Hobbit deck that has been around for a while, but it features several of the new … Continue reading Deck #46 Requiem of a Green Dragon
Deck #42 Mustering Gondor’s Might
Gondor decks have been slowly evolving for several years now, but they still don't come up often on RingsDB. While Hirgon feels like a Rohan hero since he fits so well with Theoden and Eowyn, he can actually be used effectively in a Gondor deck like this! This Gondor deck was created and uploaded to … Continue reading Deck #42 Mustering Gondor’s Might
Deck #40 Noldor Fighting Like Dunedain
The Noldor deck type has been my favorite style for a few months now so my interest was piqued when I saw this variation on the Noldor deck get published on RingsDB. Noldor Fighting Like Dunedain was created and uploaded by user Ryson. First Impressions I've played a good bit of Noldor and I've wished … Continue reading Deck #40 Noldor Fighting Like Dunedain
Deck 36 Cheaters Prosper
Today I'll look at a new deck on RingsDB that focuses on getting expensive into play for "free." Cheaters Prosper was created and uploaded to RingsDB by user Denison. The deck contains 40 allies and a few key attachments and events to help get them into play for reduced cost. First Impressions It looks like … Continue reading Deck 36 Cheaters Prosper
