| Personally I don’t mind the new cultures. I started playing during Ents, so I had missed a lot already. The big problem for me is how many people stopped playing when shadows came out, and how it critically wounded the real life tournament scene. I do love the site path though!!!! |

| I’ve been playing off and on since the game started. when the new minion cultures came out I was dissapointed. I havn’t touched them, I don’t own any, so I can say wether I like them or not. |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

i agree with you there, the new uruk-hai suck, they suck terrible, they have no definite strategy that you can use them for, all their cards seem to be random, i suppose thats why hardly anybody plays uruk-hai anymore, i used to play uruk-hai back in fellowship block, back when they were a force to be reckoned with.....now their pitiful  |

I thought that the new cultures were pretty good, especially  archers. My only disappointment is that the Uruks are much weaker than the  Uruks. |

You obviously haven’t used the new hunters then. They just plain rock. The new Uglúk + Violent Hurl is just mean. |

Wow, is that ever true! Mauhúr is the nastiest thing that’s come along since, since, well, forever. To kill a companion, simply exert once and watch him go! Dang, it’s almost like a Mauhúr Vending Machine! 
With Hunters block, the culture actually gained a focus: hunter. Hopefully, this’ll continue through future blocks, because it just might tie everything together.
Meanwhile...I miss those wonderful  gobbos! The  substitutes simply aren’t as good. However...Scavenging Goblins + Retribution is quite a nice combo...  |

I definitely miss the old cultures, but the new cultures can be fun.
The culture is probably the weakest of the three new cultures, but it’s got some cool stuff. Their best strategy right now is Hunters. They can be super strong, and with cards like Violent Hurl (1 twilight for 2 strength and damage +1!) they can finish companions off. Mauhur, Relentless Hunter has an awesome ability (he’s great at killing a WoBaS splash!). Ugluk is also really dangerous.
The culture is my least favorite of the three new cultures. It can be very strong though, with either archery or beatdown. Archery has wicked cards like Rapid Reload and Mumak Rider, and with Howdah you can really get a lot of archery. Beatdown decks that use Stragglers are a pain to play against, because their minions are so blasted strong (and nigh unstoppable with Pavise).
The culture is very fun. They have lots of viable strategies, with beatdown, swarm, corruption, threats, and more. They have arguably the best recursion abilities: Goblin Hordes can replay minions, Orkish Smith can replay conditions, and Goblin Scavengers or Retribution can replay possessions. The new threat cards also look really cool.
Gotta go clean up, but that was my view on the new cultures! |
