Hobbit Ring-Bound - Free Peoples (Expanded)
« on: September 16, 2025, 07:58:59 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/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:

[Shire] [Gollum] 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 Carry
Frodo, Weary From the Journey
Sam, Great Elf Warrior
Bilbo, Aged Ring-Bearer
Smeagol, Simple Stoor

Followers:
Deagol, Fateful Finder x4
Daddy Twofoot, Next-Door Neighbor
Frodo Gamgee, Son of Samwise
The Gaffer, Master Gardener

Possessions:
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.
