I actually wish I could change my early "Open" vote to Expanded...Open is waaaay too broken...for example: Infinite Gandalf.

Gandalf
Erland, Dale Counselor
Merry
Pippin
Smeagol, Poor Creature
The Shire Countryside 2x
A Light In His mind
Servant of the secret fire

This is one of the best loops in Open: use Smeagol, Poor Creature to get down to 3 cards in hand, plus Servant of the Secret Fire. Play Servant of the secret fire, you lose initiative, A light in his mind and then the shire countryside trigger. You remove a burden and heal two companions. Exert Erland to grab Servant of the secret fire. Repeat, thereby healing Erland and another companion, and removing a burden.

End result: all burdens removed and all companions healed, all minions at 0 Strength. Broken. And insanely easy to set up with Something Slimy.

Are there any broken combos for Final Account, Aggression, and Memories of Darkness? I mean like Mordor Fiend, Demoralized, and Steadfast Champion have huge combos... are there any for those cards?

Final Account and Aggression are just way-overpowered, IIRC.

Memories of Darkness is a vital part of Fruit Loops.

Basically Open is broken.
I still play it since nobody around here has made these decks yet.
Although SoP has done the Steadfast Champion, and Treebeard KotW combo.

I will probably start doing expaned if someone starts doing fruit loops.
But standard is too restrictive, with not being able to use FotR and tTT cards.

Not that I know of... there are plenty of killer combos, but no "instant wins" or "every minion dies" type things... as far as I know. It has an x- and r- list to stop that.

Demoralized + Rapid Reload is the one broken Expanded combo. Demoralized is still Expanded legal, technically.
