Hi everybody,
about 15 years after I retired as an active player, everybody said to me, I should sell my card collection. But luckily I found this site and gemp! So I looked up my old decks and started to play again. With this deck I am standing 12-1 (not too bad for an old rusty player, right?). That loss was on my FP side. Once I got to site 9 and the other 11 games were a shadow kill, mostly at sites 4-6.

Flung Into the FrayShadow:Classic Morcs, which won almost every tournament in our meta after Reflections was released. Play 4-6 minions every site. Lemenya and Nelya are cheap and nasty in combination with morcs. Some used
Nertea, Thrall of the One for a surprise site 3 swarm. Gollum ensures the wound on RB for your Whelps.
Morgul Skulker and
Flung Into the Fray helps to play your morcs more often. Pump your Brutes and Destroyer to win most skirmshes. Either you swarm your opponents RB or kill your opponents companions until you can swarm the RB.
Weakness: After some time everybody in our meta played many hardcore counters like Dwarves with 2x
Greatest Kingdom of My People (
Pelennor Prairie or a single perfect killing swarm are my only chances) and 3-4x
Here Lies Balin, Son of Fundin or Elves with 4x
Curse their foul feet!.
Free Peoples:Well, I don't like playing with or against dwarves. But they are the perfect match to get my shadow running. Choke as #$&*@!. Play every dwaven card from hand. Draw cards wih
delving. Get rid of cards with
Linnar, so you have at least 6 shadow cards every turn in hand. In my memory it was almost impossible to kill your dwarves before site 5, which gives your shadow enough time to kill, except of heavy draw luck. Luckily I didn't saw a single
Wormtongue in all matches on gemp.
I am glad, I found this opportunity to play LotR again. I will try in the near time, which of my old decks can also keep up with the players of today.
