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:
![Gollum [Gollum]](https://lotrtcgdb.com/forums/Smileys/classic/gollum.png)
Hobbit Ring-Bound - Free Peoples (Expanded)
This is the typical Smeagol, Simple Stoor / Deagol and Ring-Bound Hobbit deck fitted for 35 cards.Starting:
The One Ring, Such a Weight to CarryFrodo, Weary From the JourneySam, Great Elf WarriorBilbo, Aged Ring-BearerSmeagol, Simple StoorFollowers:
Deagol, Fateful Finder x4
Daddy Twofoot, Next-Door NeighborFrodo Gamgee, Son of SamwiseThe Gaffer, Master GardenerPossessions:
Sting, Weapon of Heritage x2
Hobbit Sword x2
Events:
Hope is Kindled x4
A Promise x4
Community Living x3
No Visitors x4
Naked Waste x3
Conditions:
Herbs and Stewed Rabbit x3
I'm aware that
The One Ring, The Great Ring would be better. I shy away from it for this set.
I would love to hear any feedback/suggestions.
