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:
![Gandalf [Gandalf]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/gandalf.png)
Elven Twins/Telepathy - Free Peoples (Expanded)
This is the strongest free peoples deck of the collection. I may have to make changes to balance it while keeping it fun to play.Starting:
The One Ring, The Binding RingGaladriel, Bearer of WisdomElrohir, Son of ElrondElladan, Son of ElrondCompanions:

Hope ComesShadow BetweenBrooding on TomorrowOne card I don't have that may help is
Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor.
Other cards I've considered are
Watch and Wait or
Into the West to control burdens or threats.
I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
