But what if Jarnsmid gets overwhelmed due to a lack of events (let’s say I discarded them to prevent the 3 burdens) or simply wounds (like those annoying ’wound an unbound companion’ events)? What if he’s discarded and I have only one copy of him in the deck? (and yes, a lot of the above has happened to me).

then you’re screwed.................. I’d try to make a deck that isn’t based on lots of luck (lol) or good draws. Decks that can grab what they need quickly are usually winners. |

Librarian, Brand, Strange Meeting...
I usually have him around base strength 8-9 at all times (using Followers). Matter of fact, I usually win skirmishes with whoever is fighting. I even got Librarian to 12 strength without a single event. |

Wow. Coming from the guy saying that 30/30 decks are small...
He’s dead on, but, unfortunately, almost all decks have an element of luck. Case in point. One game, I didn’t draw a single Freeps card in 3 reconciles. With a choke deck. So, you could say I was screwed pretty bad. The deck has since pwned people bad, but I mean, bad draws are bad draws.
Believe it or not, I usually toss events with Gandy more often then using them. Erland nabs ’em if necessary, but with static pumps, you usually don’t need ’em. |

30/30 decks are if you like the cycling! I think that gandy men and events can get pretty big and I do fancy them. However, most gandy decks aren’t the greatest............ I’d like to see what you play for them. |

I guess I’ll also take a whack at Elven Telepathy.
Galadriel, BoW
Ring of Rings
Celeborn, Lord of the Galadhrim
Arwen, Royal Maiden
Gandalf, Manager of Wizards x 3
Elrond, Venerable Lord x 3
Legolas, of the Grey Company x 2
Gil-Galad, High-King of the Noldor x 2
Into the Light x 3
Forearmed x 4
Attunement x 2
Still Needed x 3
Into the West x 2
Glimpse of Fate
Brooding on Tomorrow
Vilya, Ring of Air
Nenya, Ring of Adamant
Arwen’s Dagger
Arwen’s Bow
Hadafang
The basic strategy here is to use Into the West to reset the threats, Gandy to stack Sauron repeatedly and Forearmed/Gil-Galad to make minions strength-less. The problem with Elven Telepathy is that the shadow must be able to operate with substantial hand clog, because your entire hand is devoted to manipulating with Freeps. |

Stack Sauron repeatedly? Is the Shadow side going to be Sauron? Do you mean stack the Sauron, Lord of the Rings minion? O_o
’Most Gandy decks aren’t the greatest’.
*blinks, faints, then dies*
WHAT? XD
Now, Librarian is UNIQUE which kinda sucks. How does one strength pump him with static? (I know he and Brand pump the others, but at default with Brand Librarian only has 4 str. :S)
Are there unique conditions or events that make Gandalf men stronger by default? Like G for Grand? I think there was another one with an image of Gandalf in front of a catapult in Gondor--it might have been an event, but I know for sure it was one of the recent sets. Maybe RoS. If you guys know what I’m talking about let me know the name. Decipher cards aren’t showing on the official Cardlists site. >=(
(Btw, does anyone have complete card images for RoS, T and D, and Hunters?)
-----------------
Ok, guys, need deck builds for:
-Southron Archery (something even eviller than Howdah, perhaps, like Fleet of Corsair Ships)
-Orc corruption (new Orc culture, perhaps using Abiding Evil or other such)
-Gondor with Elendil’s Army, Crown of Gondor, etc.
-Gandalf Men with Frodo
-Dwarves with Hunter (Still Twitching, Run Until Found, etc)
-Dwarf stacking
-Helm’s Deep Elves (or Elves with Strength, like Elven Armaments) |

Kralik has those pics on his site. Go to LOTR Open Discussion and it’s one of the stickies. |

Dang, looks like I need 4 of those and some other cards like Namarie from it. Anyone know of a site that sells RoS booster boxes for a fair price? Or that is willing to trade me for 2x Namarie and 4x Guidance of the Istari? Have T and D commons/uncommons and rares in addition to other things. =) |
