Moria Tentacles - Shadow (Expanded)
« on: September 16, 2025, 07:44:57 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.
The decks are split into free peoples and shadow sides, all interchangeable at 35 (36 as I added more cycling and discard decks) cards each.  There are some obvious drawbacks to doing it this way, but it is 100% worth it to allow mixing/matching.  It allows enough combinations to keep each game unique and interesting.  The idea is to have thematic and fun strategies while maintaining a balance.  These are built with physical cards, so any in the $150+ range are not always going to make it in due to the costs and to maintain balance among the decks.  I follow the Expanded format and rules before errata, but some decks might also fit into other formats.  This is one of those decks:

[Moria] [Gollum] Moria Tentacles - Shadow (Expanded)
Tentacles were never seen used until the very last set came out, which made them viable.  Even then, they were hard to get physical copies of.  Here I am now, finally, with a full deck.

Minions:
Watcher in the Water, Keeper of Westgate
Watcher in the Water, Many-Tentacled Creature x3
Strong Tentacle x4
Reaching Tentacle x4
Huge Tentacle x4
Foul Tentacle x4
Goblin Runner x4

Events:
Foul Things x4

Conditions:
Evil Smelling Fens x4
Treacherous Little Toad x2
Relics of Moria
Durin's Tower


Going with a full set of The Mouth of Sauron, Messenger of Mordor and Pursuing Horde instead of the Goblin Runner is usually a better swarm strategy, but I like to keep these thematic.

I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
