I gave this deck a try a few times - it is very fun, but sadly in the current meta it can reach a very low winrate due to deck size and the inherent inconsistency. Lots of stars need to be aligned to work, and many times you cannot cycle things in the right way. But it feels so good when you can suddenly play 10+ minions out of nowhere

Eric Christoffersen (library of orthanc youtube channel) here. I have never posted here, but I was so excited to see new expanded decks being posted that I had to!

I am not of the skill level to be able to contribute much, but can you explain why no "New Chapter" to drain all your followers out of the deck on turn 1? You have the rest of the set up for it: (Gamling + Erkenbrand's Horn + Smeagol + Damned Gate Stream + Something Slimy). Seems like a no brainer, or am I missing something?

EDIT: I see that you are only starting 1 hobbit. Did you consider to start Merry and Pipping to enable the combo instead of the Eomer?

I have been working hard on a Rohan Expanded Deck with this combo which I will post soon. It centers around Bilbo as the ring bearer with Consorting with wizards to take no wounds with the Rohan companions who give bonuses for having the ringbearer skirmishing. I'd appreciate your comments on it!

Thanks! Eric

Hello Eric! Thanks for your response. I post these decks just to show that expanded still has plenty of undiscovered options, once you break with the 2x30-40 cards decks. I actually have like half a dozen ideas of decks I consider to be competitive power level, it just takes a lot of time to polish them to a high standard.

I considered a New Chapter build, but in the end decided against it. It is hard enough on GEMP to do proper expanded playtesting even without people conceding and/or whining because of New Chapter (and in this rare case I can't even blame them that much).

I'm sure this deck can be optimized further, I just kinda abandoned it in favour of the Galadriel deck I posted.

Quote from: Dictionary on June 30, 2025, 03:16:49 AM

Hello, I don't really play very much anymore but I really enjoyed this build so I wanted to drop a comment regardless. I have played a similar fellowship that uses Aragorn, Well-Traveled Guide. I have also tried using Eater of Light with Ted Sandyman. Neither of those builds was as efficient as this one though.

I am curious, do you not think that Eomer, Northman might be better than Eomer, Forthwith Banished? I am also curious about your reasoning for using The Binding Ring.

Hypothetically, do you think that the build would lose power if you made the list smaller? I am just wondering since a lot of my decks were 80 to 100 cards.

I was very happy to see Desolation Orc and Orkish Fiend, since I had those pegged as pretty useless cards.

Thanks for sharing the list!

I consider Éomer, Forthwith Banished is absolutely necessary to be able to set up safely (Aldred is too weak), and also having Éomer is not really required other than that. I often even discard Aragaorn too instead of playing him, and I think he is stronger than Éomer.

I play the Binding Ring because Nenya is strong, and it gives me easy access to it. The alternative I guess would be Ring of Doom, but losing the ability to tank archery on say a site 9 would be a big sacrifice.

Going with a smaller sized deck wouldn't make much sense. The fellowship is 100% consistent, and also filters and draws cards pretty efficiently. In games that go to site 9 I usually have 10-20 cards left, and with all the filtering going on I think that's absolutely the sweet spot.
Like here:
https://play.lotrtcgpc.net/gemp-lotr/game.html?replayId=B0r0m1r$duyhens2egm4iwae
Like, you know those games where your opponent's deck has 5 cards left and the last double is free? I think that's bad deck design, and I wouldn't like to fall into that.

EDIT: example of what I'm talking about:
https://play.lotrtcgpc.net/gemp-lotr/game.html?replayId=B0r0m1r$2mly471twhnvgwy0
Very tight deck, built like a MTG tournament deck. At site 8 the game demonstrates that it is not MTG.
