Expanded / Gondor Ranger Beatdown - Free Peoples (Expanded)

« Last post by wrigh516 on August 15, 2025, 07:15:07 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 Ranger Beatdown - Free Peoples (Expanded)
This is the weakest free people's deck I have.  It was slapped together with old cards I had lying around.

Starting:
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings
Boromir, Bearer of Council
Faramir, Captain of Gondor
Ranger of Ithilien

Companions:
Gondorian Ranger x4

Possessions:
Faramir's Cloak
Boromir, My Brother
Shield of Boromir
Gondorian Blade x4

Events:
Swordsman of the Northern Kingdom x4
War and Valor x4
While We Yet Live x4
Concealment x4

Conditions:
Ancient Roads x4
Invigorated x2


One card that I have considered adding is No Stranger to the Shadows.
I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.  Of all the decks I'm posting, this one needs the most help.

Gondor Ranger Wounding - Free Peoples (Expanded)
This one is an old-school ranger wounding deck with the Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver and Shadowplay strategy.

Starting:
The One Ring, Such a Weight to Carry
Frodo, Tired Traveller
Pippin, Wearer of Black and Silver
Faramir, Son of Denethor

Compansions:
Aragorn, Guide and Protector (pull with Prancing Pony site)

Shadowplay x3
Ancient Roads x4
Citadel of Minas Tirith x2
Gondor Bowmen x2
Hardy Garrison
Henneth Annun x2
Cliffs of Emyn Muil x2


Faramir's Bow, Ithilien Longbow would be better, but they are hard to get a hold of.
I'm aware that The One Ring, The Great Ring would be better.  I shy away from it for this set.
There are a lot of new ranger cards that might improve this post-reflections, but the initiative and shadowplay tricks here work well as is.
I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.

Esgaroth Marketplace / Still Stocking Lord of the Rings TCG Weekly at CategoryOneGames!

« Last post by CategoryOneGames.com on August 03, 2025, 07:10:22 PM »

We've had some awesome collections come through lately, and we’ve been working hard to get more of those hard-to-find rares and playset staples back in stock. Whether you’re a die-hard movie block player, diving deep into Towers or King block, or just casually collecting your favorite characters from Middle-earth, we’ve got something new hitting the site just about every week.

We’ve been doing this a long time (since the game was still in print!), and we’re still here for the community—whether you're building decks, chasing promos, or filling out that last page in your binder.

As always, feel free to reach out if there’s a specific card or set you're after—I’m happy to help however I can.

Thanks for keeping the game alive, and happy hunting!
