My first two decks ever. Need help.

[Kenddrick]

Yeah. I'm cracking my brains over the other deck. One's done and dusted already. I'm left with the other. I'm trying to form a deck equal to the one formed by NBarder, but this time with Elves and Sauron.

you said, you will lay your hands one some additional cards, right? if so, just include 4 copies of some gondor skirmish pump event and remove the gondor blade and rally the company. plus of course on hobbit companion (some version of merry or pippin)

with elves/sauron - sorry, I cant help here. I really, REALLY hate elves :-D

[Kenddrick]

Ah it's okie then. Maybe someone else will do it.

What would the Free People's deck be? (try to make it elven?) Oh and 3X Orc Slayer is taken, so is Morgul Slayer.

That deck seems a bit weak, more like its just a bunch of minions tossed together that a cohesive strategy.

Course, I'm not sure what else to do.

[Kenddrick]

Seems like my other deck isn't close to taking some shape at all. . Hmm I wish for the pro deckbuilders to come and solve the challenge.

[Cw0rk]

The main problem I see here is that if you make the deck NBarden suggested, the other one will be too weak. You can't make an Elf deck with only Arwen as a companion.

I think choking is a good idea with Aragorn, Heir to the White City. I would remove 2 gondorian blade from NBarden's deck to add it in the choke one... The traders won't bear any but it is gonna be more fair now.

I also think the sauron orcs are gonna be too weak to form a shadow side. I think it would be better to use the Ringwraith orcs to do something.

[SomeRandomDude]

Well, if you wanted to, I could use some of the cards on here and a bunch of my spare common/uncommons and throw together a deck for you for say $5 plus shipping and handling. What he said is true, I kinda snagged most of the good cards for the first deck, but if you're interested, lmk, I'm trying to sell most of my cards anyways.

The fellowship is trying to choke and uses tales with Answering the cries to pump Aragorn. All the allies are there to help you against the Isengard Orcs. You also have a lot of healing with Might of Numenor. I took 1 Gondorian Blade and 1 Banner of the White Tree from the first deck but they were not key cards anyway.

The shadow uses Ringwraith orc and the only goal of this deck is to try to stop your opponent and maybe to kill him if he double moves. If you manage to draw Too great and terrible when you have a nazgul, you can damage Gandalf. Ulaire Attea is there to wound Thrarin. I also placed Goblin Man because it's alwasy fun to know what your opponent has in hand. Orthanc Berzerker and Orc Trooper are two big minions who can help you to stop your opponent. NBarden didn't use Isengard Smith, so I added them as well, there are great minions.

The shadow may be a bit weak... but I think the fellowship can deal with Isengard orcs easily.

[Kenddrick]

WOW! Thanks a lot guys!  Ooh and what should I put in my first deck to replace the Banner of the White Tree and the Gondorian Blade?

[Cw0rk]

I suggest you swap them for 1 All Save One and 1 Depart Silently.

[Kenddrick]

Okay! Thanks a lot you all!
