Fair Ithilien by banania

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 …

Song of the Ents by Christian_Medic

This Ent deck was built and sent to me by RingsDB user Christian_Medic. Ents are good. They're cheap and have tons of stats, but the challenge is always getting them on the board fast enough. This deck uses Grima for instant resource acceleration to get those heavy allies on the board as soon as possible …

Elessar Undimmed by Elessar010

This Aragorn/Arwen deck was built and sent to me by RingsDB user Elessar010 who runs The Book of Elessar blog and video series. If you haven't discovered this project yet, you should take a look! He's playing through the quest from the beginning with Aragorn featured in every deck. Not only is he playing all …

A Secrecy Fellowship by Sfrug

I've been a little distracted with Con of the Rings and a computer game (Ultimate General: Civil War) that's been eating up my evening time lately and I've neglected this blog! This deck was sent to me a month ago by RingsDB user Sfrug and I'm just now getting to it. The deck description is …

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 …

Hunting Bling by Tegyrius

The complete set of 7 Guarded attachments are all out now and there's a variety of opinions on how strong and useful these attachments are and also how appropriate they are in solo games vs multiplayer games. I made a "treasure hunting" deck a while back but that was well before we had all the …

There and Back… and to the Side! by Kelfox

I enjoy a good side quest deck. More often than not I annoy those I'm playing with by side questing too much and too often! The current Ered Mithren cycle has a high ratio of quests that are extremely suitable for side quests but I still haven't noticed many side quest decks show up on …
