One of my favorite cards is
Under the Watching Eye
. I just love the flavor of the card. Sauron is watching...your quest gets more and more painful the further you continue.
was the original grind Shadow with
Orc Bowmen
and
Hate
, but in the Two Towers, cards like
Desert Lord
and
Whirling Strike
introduced a new style of grinding down an opponent's fellowship.
Return of the King's
Rout
seemed to merge the flavor I liked from
Under the Watching Eye
with the power and strategies of the
culture. I have repeatedly tried to make the card work. And the Return of the King introduced threats--the perfect grind companion!
In Movie Block, it is easier to pull off with
Corsair War Galley
, but in King Standard (sets 1-7), it is largely limited to getting tokens on
Harsh Tongues
or, sometimes,
Southron Chieftain
.
The problem with these decks is that they are condition heavy and have several spotting requirements (including
Rout
and
Southron Chieftain
). With that in mind, I need to pair the deck with a sturdy Fellowship that can filter cards quickly; Rohan does the trick.
Starting:
Frodo, Courteous Halfling
with
The One Ring, Answer to All Riddles
Elite Rider*
Eomer, Third Marshal of Riddermark
Fellowship (34):
Theoden, Leader of Spears
Eowyn, Lady of Rohan
Hrethel, Rider of Rohan
Legolas, Greenleaf
Sam, Son of Hamfast
Merry, Swordthain
x3
Leowyn
Deor
Sting, Baggins Heirloom
Firefoot
Brego
Snowmane
Eomer's Spear
Eowyn's Sword
Herugrim
Rider's Spear
x2
Merry's Sword
x2
Fortress Never Fallen
Arrow-Slits
We Left None Alive
Thundering Host
x3
With Strength to Fight
Simbelmyne
x4
Shadow (34):
Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul
x2
Southron Chieftain
x3
Southron Assassin
x2
Southron Traveler
x2
Southron Invaders
Suzerain of Harad
Desert Sneak
x4
Desert Runner
x4
Desert Scout
x3
Rout
x3
Bold Men and Grim
Fierce in Despair
Hosts Still Unfought
x3
Whirling Strike
x2
Red Wrath
x2
Sites:
Edoras Hall
Rohirrim Camp
Hall of the Kings
Pelennor Plain
City Gates
Minas Tirith Fourth Circle
Osgiliath Crossing
Cross Roads
Dagorlad
This is not an elite deck. But there hasn't been a lot posted to the boards recently, so why not?
You'll notice that I entirely skip
Harsh Tongues
, instead opting for
Hosts Still Unfought
. The extra twilight can be utilized with
Red Wrath
,
Whirling Strike
, or a surprise
Fierce in Despair
. I currently don't run
Mumak
but am not averse to including them (though the minions aren't winning many skirmishes).
Best,
