There's so many new deck types to test now! These new contracts are creating a massive amount of new decks to explore and enjoy. I've been so busy creating and playing decks that I've again neglected this blog. But today I get to look at a Grey Wanderer contract deck and this is a contract … Continue reading Fair Ithilien by banania
Traps
An Orc, A Goblin and a Spider Walk Into a Trap by OKTarg
The Dunedain deck is a challenging archetype to make function as a solo deck. I've played and built lots of Dunedain decks but for the most part, they are usually built for a specific quest or for a multiplayer setting. This is a Dunedain deck built specifically to function on its own. This deck was … Continue reading An Orc, A Goblin and a Spider Walk Into a Trap by OKTarg
Deck #81 – One Hundred Cards Deck
Since the LOTR LCG isn't a competitive card game, people often run more than 50 cards in their decks. 50 cards is a decently large deck for this kind of game and the Arkham LCG has brought that number down to 30. This deck by simone takes it to an entirely new level by doubling … Continue reading Deck #81 – One Hundred Cards Deck
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 #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
Decks #30 and #31 – Deep Knowledge
While I usually test decks alone in a "true solo" context, today I have the chance to test a 2-handed fellowship consisting of The Hunters of the North and Eyes of the White Tower decks. This fellowship was created and sent to me by RingsDB user Onidsen. First Impressions The entire fellowship is primarily made … Continue reading Decks #30 and #31 – Deep Knowledge
Deck #22 The Heir in Ithilien
Lore Faramir has always been a tricky hero. He's 2/2/2/5 with ranged, has a high threat cost and benefits from enemies in the staging area. His stats aren't focused and his ability runs counter to his threat cost... He did some interesting things in the Heirs of Numenor Cycle, but I don't seem him getting … Continue reading Deck #22 The Heir in Ithilien
