PC Formats / 2025 World Championship Top 8 Tournament

« Last post by TelTura on October 30, 2025, 12:57:58 AM »

On October 18th, 2025, the top 16 players from the 2025 WC Circuit were invited to compete for the opportunity to call themselves the World Champion.  The World Championship was divided into two phases, with the first Group Stage being a 6-round Swiss; the first 3 rounds were played using the PC-Fellowship format, and the final 3 were played using PC-Movie.  After the Swiss rounds, the top 8 players participated in a double-elimination knockout tournament, which used the same decks as the Group Stage.

This thread contains the replays used for all Top 8 games.  The decks themselves are unchanged from the Group Stage.  See here for the first 3 Group Stage rounds in PC-Fellowship.  See here for the final 3 Group Stage rounds in PC-Movie.



Games in the Upper Bracket were played using PC-Movie and games in the Lower Bracket were played in PC-Fellowship.  During the event, stephan77 needed to drop after his first victory in the first round.  It was ruled that his opponent m_scarpato would remain in the Upper Bracket, but he would be eliminated if losing a second time.

Remember that all cards utilize PC Errata, even if the non-errata'd version is shown below, and that set V1 cards and set V2 cards are also legal.

PC Formats / 2025 World Championship Group Stage - PC-Fellowship

« Last post by TelTura on October 29, 2025, 11:28:36 PM »

On October 18th, 2025, the top 16 players from the 2025 WC Circuit were invited to compete for the opportunity to call themselves the World Champion.  The World Championship was divided into two phases, with the first Group Stage being a 6-round Swiss; the first 3 rounds were played using the PC-Fellowship format, and the final 3 were played using PC-Movie.  After the Swiss rounds, the top 8 players participated in a double-elimination knockout tournament, which used the same decks as the Group Stage.

This thread contains the PC-Fellowship decks and replays used in the first 3 rounds of the Group Stage.   See here for the final 3 Group Stage rounds in PC-Movie.  See here for the Top 8 tournament replays.

The Top 16 were seeded based on the following order:

• basmelis
• Chadwick537
• dstaley
• Wingfoot81
• scyld
• enolen
• Sithdorra
• rbranco
• tOmas
• m_scarpato

Expanded / Re: Galadriel tank - 2 shadow builds

« Last post by Shelobplayer on September 27, 2025, 09:15:01 AM »

I played this deck almost exclusively for the few match I had these past months. It is doing way above my original expectations, and it is insanely consistent.

I have a pretty spectacular 18-2 with the Ninja/Sudden Strike shadow (pretty sure the losses were both site 2 overextensions) and a respectable 12-5 with the Eater of Light shadow (with a loss at Ettenmoors to Enquea, ToTo after I took its enduring keyword with Northwoman ).

Overall I think this build is up there with the more commonly used top expanded strategies at this point. It covers all angles a deck has to in a competitve expanded enviroment.

Expanded / Gondor Knights - Free Peoples (Expanded)

« Last post by wrigh516 on September 16, 2025, 09:29:02 PM »

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/discussion to improve on them.  The decks are split into free peoples and shadow sides, all interchangeable at 35 cards each.  There are some obvious drawbacks in doing it this way, but it is 100% worth it to allow mixing/matching and keeping each game unique and interesting.  The idea is to make thematic and fun strategies while maintaining a balance.  These are built with physical cards, so any in the $100+ range are not always going to make it in for their high costs and to maintain balance among the decks.  I include cards from the Expanded format and rules, but some decks might also fit into other formats.  This is one of those decks:

Gondor Knights - Free Peoples (Expanded)
Typical Knight wounding deck fitted for 35 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 x2
Aragorn, Captain of Gondor
Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth
Ingold
Boromir, Hero of Osgiliath

Knight's Mount x2

Events:
Men of Numenor x2

Conditions:

Fifth Level 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.
