Can someone explain to me why this guy got X-ed in Movie Block?

Elessar's Socks · « **Reply #1 on:** May 18, 2008, 03:26:47 PM »

Insane filtering from Gondorian Captain + Base of Mindolluin.

Gil-Estel · « **Reply #2 on:** May 18, 2008, 11:02:39 PM »

ah.....love that combo

TheJord · « **Reply #3 on:** May 19, 2008, 05:10:42 AM »

Beacon of Minas Tirith + Denethor, LoMT = Bwuhaahahahahhaa

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #4 on:** May 19, 2008, 10:12:41 AM »

wasn't it you basically end up with all shadow cards, thereby making it a lot easier to set up your shadow? so you would basically just try to survive and let your shadow smackdown the enemy if I am correct.

and theJord's combo isn't too evil IMSO...only works in king block for one, and only 4 cards max anyway...house of healing does it just as well IMSO

Gil-Estel · « **Reply #5 on:** May 19, 2008, 11:08:14 AM »

Usualy I make Denethor work with that Aragorn signet card that heals twice: Hard Choice. Once I paired the Captain with Mordor Fiend, just to show my friend the brute power of both combinations. He is still a good friend.......

Beacon of Minas Tirith + Denethor, LoMT + Gondorian Captain

Thats a bit nastier

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #7 on:** May 19, 2008, 01:26:20 PM »

you can still only take 4 cards into hand in the fellowship phase...

TheJord · « **Reply #8 on:** May 19, 2008, 02:42:49 PM »

Stop ruining my fun

MR. Lurtzy · « **Reply #9 on:** May 20, 2008, 09:24:13 PM »

They should of just changed the cards a wee bit so captain didn't need to get x'd. I don't like it when cards are made that cannot be used to play.

Malachi · « **Reply #10 on:** May 21, 2008, 01:32:40 AM »

You can still play haim on Standart, Expanded and Open

What is perfect in LOTR format play - every card ever printed is still playable in some format or another.

Elessar's Socks · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2008, 02:03:54 AM »

Though I still have doubts about cards like Lightfootedness.

(I suppose if you packed 4 copies of every

event ever made... and then exerted Cirdan. Thrice. -195 FTW?)

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2008, 06:18:02 AM »

how many elven events are there, you times that by 4, then times it by another 4(cirdan with narya) than you have an evil thing...that would take 16 sites to set up.

Where's the 195 come from?

TheJord · « **Reply #14 on:** May 22, 2008, 02:48:26 AM »

See Cirdan, The Shipwright

Elessar's Socks · « **Reply #15 on:** May 22, 2008, 03:31:23 AM »

Well... if there are 65 unique

events (may have miscounted... although I'm not too eager to reveal I did fire up LOTRO out of sheer curiosity), then multiplied by 3 that's 195. I should've just said "arbitrary large number," huh?

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #16 on:** May 22, 2008, 05:18:02 AM »

but you can have 4 of each card....thats 260x3=780

TheJord · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2008, 05:30:00 AM »

Excluding infinite loops (Broken in Defeat + Orc Skulker) the largest I have ever seen a minion get was 117 so getting a -780 will usually be pointless.

Lets make decks designed to create 1000 strength minions.

Elessar's Socks · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2008, 05:37:53 AM »

*headdesk* Where did the 4 go? What an honor to be corrected by a Maia!

Since I was off already, what's the maximum vitality for Cirdan? 4 + Elven Armaments + Aiglos + Narya, Ring of Fire = 7?

So 65 (?) x 4 x (7 - 1) = 1560... wow, not bad.

TheJord · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2008, 05:46:04 AM »

So now we need a bigger minion

SomeRandomDude · « **Reply #20 on:** May 22, 2008, 05:54:56 AM »

Or 2 minions.

You could also toss in an Ent Draught for fun. And don't forget the possibility of The Tale of Gil-galad in Expanded!

Mythdracon · « **Reply #22 on:** May 22, 2008, 09:55:54 AM »

Cirdan could still die to archery if you don't have Lightfootedness. Or if you have naught but Shadow in thy hand.

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #23 on:** May 22, 2008, 10:06:20 AM »

well for minions...broken in defeat, plus a ton of twilight and 6 companions....is there any infinite loop for the freeps that adds a ton of twilight?

Ahaha, 2080... incidentally I never realized

vitality could be pumped so high.

No Aiglos -- cannot be combined with the Elven Armaments since they are both Hand Weapons.

~~1820~~ *twitch* And this is why I really, really should've gone with "arbitrary large number."

ANYONE ELSE?

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #27 on:** May 22, 2008, 05:16:48 PM »

arbitrary large number is not as fun as figuring it out myself...
is there any large loop that can add a lot of twilight for either side?

SomeRandomDude · « **Reply #28 on:** May 23, 2008, 04:58:06 AM »

No, but there is Orc Skulker.

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #29 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:07:55 AM »

all yes...broken in defeat, 6 companions orc skulker....how can you stop that at all?

FingolfinFinwe · « **Reply #30 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:12:48 AM »

If the fellowship cancels Broken in Defeat with Gandalf, Wise Guide does it still come back to hand?

TheJord · « **Reply #31 on:** May 23, 2008, 09:15:57 AM »

Not have 6 companions? Connected by Fate or Dauntless Hunter? And Wise Guide would end it right away.

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #32 on:** May 23, 2008, 11:04:26 AM »

now I just need to make sure BtO never sees orc skulker....

FM · « **Reply #33 on:** May 23, 2008, 11:42:46 AM »

I COULD delete your post, would it help?

Btw, I recall you guys having some friends/neighbours who played with you and were on CC. Did they ever make it here? Forgot their nicknames...

sickofpalantirs · « **Reply #34 on:** May 23, 2008, 07:05:11 PM »

yourstinken face, peterpot, gagnut, fingolfin, and legolamb. None of them really posted...gagnut and fingolfin know about it...but their internet has basically totally screwed up...PP and YSF and LEL really couldn't care less...

If you had to tech against every deck, then your deck wouldn't do anything. Face it, some decks just smash certain other decks.

Everyone always posts what would kill a certain deck. And I'd like to see them take every single one of those ideas and stick 'em in a deck.
