•You will need to vote and not vote for your own
• :gp: For the winner of each round.
• My main goal is to have this contest in constant motion.
• Hurry and Join :up:
-
If there's interest, I'd be up for it. I like random deck making. Although NB's deck's will probably blow mine out of the water. Hah.
-
I am also in principle willing do make random decks. The main obstacle for me is remembering, so if I'm slacking you can feel free to pester me! ;)

You have untill next Friday. Remember, you may have 4 copies of each card in a deck. Make the deck in Expanded Format. Have fun. :up:

Do we have to create a shadow deck too? Do you want strategy (if there is one ;D) explained?
-
Friday is the deadline. No, you don't have to do a shadow side.

First round =D>
Deck 1
Elven Cycling - 30 cards
Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom
Arwen, Royal Maiden
Celeborn, The Wise
Elrond, Witness to History
Legolas, Of the Grey Company
Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor
Glorfindel, Eldarin Lord
Haldir, Warrior Messenger
Celebring, Elven-Smith
Woodhall Elf, Exile
Elven Sword x3
Gwemegil
Arwen's Bow
Nenya, Ring of Adamant x2
Galadriel's Silver Ewer
Into the West x2
Shadow Between x2
Glimpse of Fate
Uncertain Future x2
Fleet-footed x4
Back to the Light x2
This deck has a few tricks:
1) Discard cards from your hand with Elven Sword, Gwemegil, Shadow Between, Arwen's Bow for some nice effects, also nicely triggering Glimpse of Fate. Then put the cards on top of your draw deck with Elrond or take events into hand on the double move with Celeborn or Gil-galad. Once you've moved, use Arwen's reconciling ability to get a whole load more cards in your hand so that you can discard them again for useful effects.
2) Use the various methods for getting the right cards on top of your draw deck to remove the threats added from Arwen's and Gil-galad's abilities with Into the West (and obviously also Glorfindel).
3) Pair this FP side with a site controlling Shadow (I think Dunlendings because they can play minions from your discard pile) so that Fleet-footed goes straight on top of your draw deck. Alternatively, swap them for Still Needed but Fleet-footed is better if you can pull it off (unless you're running Elladan and Elrohir in which case Still Needed makes more sense anyway).
4) Use Back to the Light to shuffle your draw deck to get those cards you've put at the bottom with Into the West and Uncertain Future back into circulation.
5) Celebring brings out the Ewer and Woodhall Elf allows you to gain and lose initiative and if you happen to have both out, Arwen gets a bonus.

Followers:

Woodhall Elf
Events:
Attunement x4
Forearmed x4
Still Needed x4
38 cards. A bit big, but of course Arwen's there for cycling, along with her dagger and the Woodhall Elf. It's basic telepathy/elvents. Arwen + Gil-Galad stack tons of cards in hand for use with Gandalf. Initiative manipulation included. Gandalf sets the deck for Attunement and Forearmed. A couple followers are included for use with Arwen, and Celebring sets out Ewer. Twins shorten twilight, all that drawing should make doubles possible. And, of course, at the end those Still Needed can be abused to remove threats with Into the West. For that matter, so can any card set by Gandy.

3x Morgul Destroyer (7U190)
3x Morgul Lackey (7C193)
3x Morgul Spearman (7C201)
4x Morgul Whelp (7U202)
The main purpose of the deck is set up the perfect shadowhand. Fellowship is there to do so. Gamling blows his horn to fetch 2 followers, 1 of them being Celebring, which grabs Silver Ewer. Also, prancing pony to grab Arwen. With 2 followers Arwen does her trick, making minions less strong and she's able to reconcile, which is nice. Isildur is an extra card at the end of your turn, so that is beneficial to your shadow..
Deck 6
Starrting:
Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom w/ The One Ring, The Ring of Doom
Legolas, of the Grey Company
Rumil, Silvarin Elf
Fellowship:
Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor
Glorfindel, Eldarin Lord
Arwen, Royal Maiden
4x Sword of the Fallen
4x Elven Bow
2x Nenya, Ring of Adament
4x Double Shot
4x Many Miles
4x Break the Charge
4x Point Blank Range
Into the West
4x Elven Marksmanship
Basic strategy is to kill everything in Archery Phase. Gil-galad is to bring back Elven Marksmanship and the events. Glorfindal is there to take away threats. Reconcile with Arwen and remove threats with Into the West. SoTF and Point Blank Range kill anything that makes it through Archery.
Alright, here is how it works. You will need to vote for your favorite 3. Don't vote for your own. E!U has alredy been eliminated so 1 more people will be eliminated this round.
Deck with lowest votes is eliminated.

@ Elendil!Urukfear
I just thought maybe I could fill someones spot if it will help keep things running.
Last time I read this thread, must have went straight from page 1 - page 3. #-o I see the cards used for rounds 1 & 2 now :roll: woops.
Please include me if possible in any future deck contests that anyone starts.
BTW my votes from the last round would have been:
6, 2, 4. ;D
-
i think this thread is still dead. :(
-
Well, yea, I only said that because it took my like forever to figure out that there was more than one page on most threads
-
I think I only have 2 decks. Your right, This thread is dead. ](*,) :down: :'(

Sorry man, I really hate it when that happens, that's why I have soo many threads, most of them are failures and the others hit it big..
