Well I am wondering if any of you have made a GOOD deck that uses the Signet mechanic.
I have never been able to use it well, and it seems to me like a rather half-baked concept...Anyway please posts deck or comments here.
I do think that the Gandalf signet is probably the most usable. |

I’ve dabbled with signets many a time. Gimme a couple hours and I’ll type up an article focused on signets. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a while anyway.  |

Yeah trust me as you once did gandalf signet is about the best one. Ive seen one using frodo son of drogo and the frodo signet deck. But aragorn is useful and his signet. He heals wraiths u can do hard choice and there are a few other one from SoG that gives strength and another that plays possession on them.
Apart from that its a far from developed tactic. Half baked is quite accurate a description. |

| Half baked indeed, but you can squeeze a couple good decks out of them. Sadly, it’s hard to do in Standard (since one only has King block to work with), but I can try! |

I made a signet deck once. It worked well. Trust Me As You Once Did with Merry, Rohirrim Squire, Pippin, Sworn to Service and Aragorn, Driven by Need. It did pretty well.
Always wanted to make a Frodo signet deck. I’ll let you know the results. |

| There are some pretty potent Theoden signet cards lying around from Towers block, if you have the healing tech to abuse them. |

| Aragorn, King in Exile makes great use of the Aragorn signet. I used him all the time back in the day. |

| I made a Frogo signet wounding deck with the 3 hunters. It’s somewhere in the open section. It’s really effective where I play. |

Gandalf’s Wisdom is very good. You can make a deck based on having gandalf signets everywhere and playing things for free or very cheap. Also throw in Trust Me as You Once Did.
