A Lord of the Rings LCG Blog. Deck: Celebrían’s Pride. March 11, 2017. March 11, 2017. This week I'm taking a break from my Thematic Nightmare series to get some other work done, but in the meantime I thought I would show you the deck I built for the Middle-Earth Hero Auction, a forum game hosted by Seastan. The first half of the game involved bidding on Heroes from a selection of them, … Continue reading Deck: Celebrían’s Pride. March 6, 2017. March 6, 2017. February 27, 2017. February 27, 2017.

A Lord of the Rings LCG Blog. Escape from Dol Guldur – Deckbuilding. November 19, 2016. January 15, 2017. In my last article. I talked about all of the terrible things that await our Heroes in Nightmare Escape from Dol Guldur. It’s a punishingly difficult quest in solo, and it definitely doesn’t play fair. But I challenged myself to beat the Nightmare quests with thematic decks, so I can’t stop at the third quest! I have tried a. To get around this, but the easiest thing to do is go monosphere. To genera...

Aragorn's next stop in his tireless hunt for Gollum is The Hills of Emyn Muil, located hundreds of miles south of the previous quest. The key focus of this quest is on clearing Locations, which has earned it a rather poor reputation among the community as being boring and a bit of a slog. I never used … Continue reading The Hills of Emyn Muil. A Journey to Rhosgobel. December 18, 2016. January 15, 2017. It's pretty...

A Lord of the Rings LCG Blog. A Journey to Rhosgobel. December 18, 2016. January 15, 2017. Like Conflict at the Carrock, A Journey to Rhosgobel. Feels like a side-quest during Aragorn’s search for Gollum. The story goes that our illustrious heroes happen upon an Eagle named Wilyador. Who has been shot with a poisoned arrow on the edge of Mirkwood. The primary focus of the quest is to prevent the eagle from succumbing to his grievous wounds while we transport him to Rhosgobel. The encounter deck itself fe...

A Lord of the Rings LCG Blog. October 28, 2016. January 15, 2017. The original Passage Through Mirkwood is almost on the level of a tutorial quest. Sure, it has a few nasty enemies in Ungoliant's Spawn, Captain Ufthak, and Hummerhorns, but in general once you've figured out how to play the game it doesn't usually take too much to trounce this quest reliably. For those who don't remember, … Continue reading Passage Through Mirkwood. A Brief Note on Goals. October 28, 2016. A Note on Theme. October 11, 2016.

A Lord of the Rings LCG Blog. Conflict at the Carrock. December 9, 2016. January 15, 2017. The second quest of the Shadows of Mirkwood cycle, Conflict at the Carrock. Represents a sort of side-quest during Aragorn’s hunt for Gollum. The quest itself is reminiscent of Bilbo, Thorin, and company’s battle with trolls from The Hobbit. The four trolls have silly British-sounding names, and it even takes place in a setting from The Hobbit: The Carrock. And placing 1 progress on stage 2 wins the game. To defeat...
