Elven Twins/Telepathy - Free Peoples (Expanded)
« on: August 15, 2025, 03:37:59 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:

[Elven] [Gandalf] 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 Ring
Galadriel, Bearer of Wisdom
Elrohir, Son of Elrond
Elladan, Son of Elrond

Companions:
Gandalf, Manager of Wizards x3
Elrond, Witness to History x3
Celeborn, The Wise x3
Cirdan, The Shipwright

Followers:
Woodhall Elf, Exile

Possessions:
Nenya
Banner of Elbereth x2
Lembas x2
Phial of Galadriel

Events:
Forearmed x4
Still Needed x4
Uncertain Paths x4

Conditions:
Glimpse of Fate x2
Hope Comes
Shadow Between
Brooding on Tomorrow


One 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.

My main is a similar free people deck. I also play real life deck where I omlt play cards i physically own. Are you planning to buy a copy of gil galad, hkotn?

My style is different from yours, i use glorfindel, arwen and greenleaf instead od cirdan and sons of elrond. I also splash aragorn, Thorongil and Radagast.

and i focus heavily on gandalf spells as well, for healing, threats removal and condition discards

I would be interested in buying a Gil-galad, High King of the Noldor, but they are currently going for like $600 each.  It's not that essential to this deck anyway.
