Title: The best 50 uncommons from sets 1-12 and top ROTK rares.
Post by: swarmingUwithGoblins on September 08, 2008, 03:10:53 PM
Hey guys.

I get asked all the time if i have certain commons and uncommons. From blade tip to dunland guys and others. Could someone give me a list of the top c/unc's. Maybe a top 50 list? Also how about the top 20 ROTK rares also. I think i read somewhere the noble leaders was a great rare along with some gollum culture cards. Any help would be greatly appreciated and i you could earn a gold piece :)

Top 50 is way too many cards for me to think about. And I'm afraid that I disagree with many cards on Elrohir's list. But to be honest, finding 20 great rare cards from RotK is actually quite hard.

The One Ring, SaWtC
Gimli's Battle Axe, Trusted Weapon
Preparations
Arwen, Fair Elf Maiden
Shadow Between
Terrible and Evil
Fat One Wants It
Smeagol, Always Helps
Anduril, Flame of the West
Derufin
Hearts Raised
Fierce in Despair
Morgul Brute
Ulaire Cantea, Faster than Winds
Ulaire Toldea, Wraith on Wings
The Witch-king, Morgul King
Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade
Merry's Sword
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver
Noble Leaders

Pitching in for the top 20 (well, 23) RotK rares for cross-matching fun. They're chosen mainly for usefulness, with SaWtC being the notable exception (IMO).

The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry
Preparations
Arwen, Fair Elf Maiden
Terrible and Evil
Fat One Wants It
Smeagol, Always Helps
Anduril, Flame of the West
Derufin
Noble Leaders
Small Hope
Held Ground
Morgul Brute
Out of Sight and Shot
Ulaire Cantea, Faster Than Winds
The Witch-king, Morgul King
Eowyn, Dernhelm
Eowyn's Sword, Dernhelm's Blade
Merry's Sword
Encirclement
Gorgoroth Troop
Troop Tower
Merry, Swordthain
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver

For the U/C's, I've tried not to copy all the cards needed for a deck wholesale, although some cultures/sub-cultures are given preference simply because I'm more familiar with them. These are also limited to Expanded-legal cards. Here goes:

Brego
Captured by the Ring
Citadel of the Stars
Daddy Twofoot, Next-door Neighbor
Dwarven Axe
Dwarven Bracers
Easterling Polearm
Elite Rider
Elven Bow
Evil-smelling Fens
Faramir, Son of Denethor
Fell Beast
Follow Smeagol
Fourth Level
Glimpse of Fate
Goblin Runner
Goblin Scavengers
Goblin Scimitar
Goblin Sneak
Gondor Bow
Great Hill Troll
Hand Axe
Hobbit Sword
Home and Hearth
Honed
Ithilien Blade
Last Throw
Lost in the Woods
Morgul Destroyer
Moria Archer Troop
Namarie
Nazgul Sword
Nobody Tosses a Dwarf
No Stranger to the Shadows
No Visitors
One Good Turn Deserves Another
Proud and Able
Raider Bow
Red Wrath
Roll of Thunder
Saruman's Power
Siege Troop
Still Far Ahead
Sudden Fury
There's Another Way
They Are Coming
Thrarin, Dwarven Smith
Thrarin, Smith of Erebor
Ulaire Enquea, Lieutenant of Morgul
You're a Liar and a Thief

Not familiar with [Dunland], [Men], [Orc], [Uruk], and Corsairs. If you think something that didn't make this list deserves a place, it probably does.
