Title: Erkenbrand's Horn?
Post by: anxiouschieftain on December 27, 2011, 12:37:20 PM

Hey guys,

This is my first look back at LOTR TCG for about 4 years. When I left, the Horn deck had been invented (Erkenbrand's Horn + New Chapter = instant filter). Did Decipher ever errata/clarify it? Or is it still a legal (albeit NPE) deck? Good ways to stop it if it hasn't been changed?

It's so strange to browse through cards again, it's like reopening a whole chapter of my pre-teen and early teenage life!

Does any rule of inifite loop apply to Horn? There was similar case with banning Gondorian Captain thanks to combo with Base of Midollouin so IMO Decipher clearly stated in that move that filtering all deck in one site is broken and should be not legal

Neither Gondorian Captain nor Erkenbrand's Horn create infinite loop (due to finite number of fortifications and followers available). The difference is that in times of Captain game was maintained much better, so he was banned, while for Horn probably nobody cared too much. Otherwise the problem would for sure be solved.
