Title: Found my old deck, trying to get back into the game.
Post by: Andrewgeddon on January 30, 2012, 07:25:41 PM
So between seeing the trailer for "The Hobbit" and all the new LOTR miniatures coming out via Games Workshop, I caught a little bit of a LOTR fever. Recalling that I still had some old LOTR TCG cards, I did a big of digging and scrounged up the remains of my old deck.

Now my "deck" was kinda in a weird state of transition when I gave up LOTR. I had built it to be a Hobbit only Fellowship / Nazgul deck, but then I started to try to add Legolas to give it some punch, and proceded to add Gollum to add some more tricks to my shadow side... and needless to say, I have no idea what's going on with the deck anymore, heh. Some cards got lost or sold, it never made the transition to another deck fully. It's kinda  a mess, heh.

Anyway, I remembered coming across this site way back when, when a buddy of mine showed some interested in getting back into the game (didn't happen), so I thought I would post here with what I have left of my deck and see if there are any suggestions on what I could do to make it playable. I'm not looking to build a hyper-competitive deck, just have something that is fun and doesn't suck, heh. I haven't really looked into formats that much, since right now I'm just looking for something I can play casually with the one or two friends I have that might be interested in playing, but I think I'd like to keep it "Movie Block" at the very least.

So, here is what I have, any suggestions on what I could do to make it workable would be appreciated!

Merry, Friend to Sam

The heck with using actual cards! Anyone who wants to play LotR should go here:

http://www.gempukku.com/gemp-lotr/index.html (http://www.gempukku.com/gemp-lotr/index.html)

...where you can play LotR online with people all over the world for free 24/7, using every card that was ever made for the game. Nothing to download, totally browser based (Firefox works best for me), and best of all Gemp does all the math for you, keeps track of all the tokens, enforces all the rules, and even highlights any card you can take a legal action with.

Fantastic.
