As the physical cards are getting harder to find these days, I gathered a large physical collection of common and nostalgic decks to play with family and friends as a pre-built game. I'm posting these decks as a reference and for feedback.
The decks are split into free peoples and shadow sides, all interchangeable at 35 (36 as I added more cycling and discard decks) cards each. There are some obvious drawbacks to doing it this way, but it is 100% worth it to allow mixing/matching. It allows enough combinations to keep each game unique and interesting. The idea is to have thematic and fun strategies while maintaining a balance. These are built with physical cards, so any in the $150+ range are not always going to make it in due to the costs and to maintain balance among the decks. I follow the Expanded format and rules before errata, but some decks might also fit into other formats. This is one of those decks:
[Men] Men Beatdown - Shadow (Expanded)
I wanted to make an incredibly versatile Evil Men deck. It leaves you with a lot of options for countering different Free People strategies.
Minions:
The Mouth of Sauron, Messenger of Mordor x4
Saruman, Coldly Still x3
Armored Easterling x4
Easterling Dispatcher x4
Easterling Shield Wall x4
Rampaging Easterling x4
Possessions:
Pavise x3
Poleaxe x2
Grima's Dagger
Henchman's Dagger x3
Conditions:
Countless Companies x2
Lathspell x2
I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
