What’s the point of having more cards if they are going to be like this. Decipher have reached a point of no return in my opinion. Making a significant turn towrads less powerful cards would mean the players would get beet up when they’ll play against Treachery & Deceit cards. Therefore, they must keep on with this track.
My suggestion is this, THE RETURN OF THE CLASSIC SHADOW CULTURES FOR THE GREAT EYE ! That might boost up their sales and would break the escalation for the shadow at least.
Anyway, I’m getting off topic now. |

| Or simply X-ing all Treachery and Deciet cards in tournament play. That’d solve everyone’s problems. In casual play, refuse to play anyone who has set 18 cards in their deck. |

At this point, I think only that would save them.  is so-so, but and especially  are badly imbalanced. The old cultures (and  , which is only one we really still have) are still okay.
Of course, then we’d have the problem of what to do with overpowered FP cards like Perspective....  |

Check out Lasting Alliances, The Road Ahead, and Ages of Middle-earth, three of my five dream card sets that make up Wars of the Ring. Oh, and I have a trade list now!
Also, if you're into DCs or RPGs (or even if you're not!), check out Realms of Middle-earth, the sequel to CG's "DC Adventure", Realms of the North! |

New cultures? Yeah, that’s it... |
Our time here is ending...
What did you want to see before the end?
It will be made in the Request-a-card Set #1 (name ideas also welcome  ). |

I quit playing a few years ago, but recently I have had such an itching to open booster packs again. To the point people: is the game going to end after Trechery and Deciet? Is there any hope whatsoever of Decipher saving it now? By the way, I know none of you, but I greatly enjoy reading your threads. If anything, I get much encouragement still knowing that LOTR TCG fans still exist out there!

Rather than just simply X-ing the cards, couldn’t we do what they did with Star Wars after Decipher lost the license? We could make our own alternative texts for the broken cards in T&D and post them on the internet. We could have a Gothmog (V) that wouldn’t splash into every single archery deck, a Frenzy of Arrows (V) that replaced all the 2’s in its text with 1’s and so forth. Star Wars became a lot more fun after there were good versions of the ancient promo cards like Tarkin and Motti, and of the rubbish cards that no one ever used like the Stormtroopers.

The Star Wars Virtual cards didn’t replace the old cards but added new ones. What we would need would be a semi-official Player’s Group that issued errata that was in play for tournaments. I don’t see this happening unless (until...) Decipher loses the licence and stops running their own tournaments.
Of course, should that happen, as well as errata it would be nice to see Virtual versions of old cards. There are plenty of unplayable LotR cards that would benefit from new (v) versions.

Are you sure? I could have sworn that the Star Wars players committee made changes to existing cards and people needed to print off and stick on their cards.
Cheers. |

I would wait about a month and see whether or not this all blows over, if I were you, before risking getting back in. On the other hand, alot of us are still planning on continuing to play regardless of whether or not D dies. Not necessarlity with Treachery and Deceit cards, but if nothing else with some of the older stuff.
The irony of the game potentially ending on a set called "Treachery and Deceit" just kills me, though. |

Brilliant! Would have been better if it ended with Age’s End though!

Yes and no. They made new versions of old cards, but you could use either the printed or the updated versions of them. You’d get, for example, ’Stormtrooper’ (printed card) and ’Stormtrooper (V)’ (with their changes), and could use either, neither or both, whichever you chose.
