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:
[Gondor] Gondor Knights - Free Peoples (Expanded)
Typical Knight wounding deck fitted for 36 cards.
Starting:
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings
Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms
Alcarin, Warrior of Lamedon
Turgon, Man of Belfalas
Companions:
Faramir, Defender of Osgiliath
Aragorn, Captain of Gondor
Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth
Ingold
Boromir, Hero of Osgiliath
Garrison of Gondor
Possessions:
Banner of Westernesse x3
Gondor Bow x3
Knight's Mount x3
Conditions:
Citadel of the Stars x2
Stone Tower x2
Fourth Level x4
Fifth Level x4
Sixth Level x3
Garrison of Osgiliath
Artifacts:
Scroll of Isildur
Sapling of the White Tree x2
One card I don't have that may help is Elendil, High-King of Gondor, but it isn't essential.
I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
