My first 2 decks..Version 2.0!

[Kenddrick]

Hi there! I've got good news and bad news for you guys! Good news is that my passion for LOTR:TCG is still as strong as ever, while the bad news is, my deal with NBarden didn't go through as the bank was ****ed. Anyway, I bought the ROTK Anthalogy and this are my new cards. I was wondering if I could add them to my existing two decks.

Here are my decklists:

Gondor/Isengard (Made by NBarden)
Frodo, Resolute Hobbit
The One Ring, The Ruling Ring

1X Boromir, Doomed Heir
1x Merry, Loyal Companion

1x Aragorn, Isildur's Heir
3x Gondorian Blade
1x Banner of the White Tree
1x Guarded City
1x Honorable Intentions
1X All Save One
4x Tradesman from Lebennin
3x Heirs of Gondor
3x Rally the Company
2x Hobbit Sword
1x Thrarin, Dwarven Smith
3x Gandalf, Defender of the West
1x Narya
3x Deep In Thought

4x Isengard Shaman
4x Isengard Worker
3x Isengard Servant
2x Isengard Warrior
4x Isengard Retainer
1x Orc Overseer
1x Orc Commander
2x The Trees Are Strong
4x Isengard Axe
1x Saruman, Servant of the Eye
3x Orc Slayer
1x Morgul Slayer

The point of the Gondor side is to get Tradesman from Lebenin with Heirs of Gondor for lots of tokens. Then you can run Gandalf, Defender of the West and Deep In Thought to get rid of all your opponents cards. Merry is there to get pretty tough later in the game. So, reinforce a lot with Heirs of Gondor and use the tokens to make your guys all big.

The shadow side wants to drop lots of minions and then if they survive to the regroup phase, you get to wound a lot of companions, and then use your secret weapon, The Trees Are Strong to hopefully off a few. If you manage to slip through an Orc Slayer or Morgul Slayer, then YOU get to assign the wounds and hopefully that will allow you to kill a companion. Or combo off Orc Overseer for auto-killing any companion. After blasting holes in them, you can finally overwhelm the ring-bearer with a swarm.

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.

I'd also like to point out that you have enough elves to make an elf fellowship. You could also make a Trust me as you once did fellowship.

[Kenddrick]

How about making an elf fellowship to replace the current one?

[SomeRandomDude]

Hey, I'm still holding the cards for you if we can ever figure out how money gets to here from there.

[Kenddrick]

Thanks for the understanding Nick.

[legolas3333]

well he has steadfast champion so just a few more cards and...

[Kenddrick]

And what? Tell me what elves do I need to make an Elf fellowship!

[SomeRandomDude]

well he has steadfast champion so just a few more cards and...

Don't even go there...

[legolas3333]

says the guy obsessed with open =p

What were referring to is an insanely overpowered combo, read here

[Kenddrick]

Oh no that sounds so scary. What I meant was, what are the cards I could use to form a elven fellowship?

[legolas3333]

Start Legolas, Either Nimble Warrior or Fearless Marksman and lorien swordsman, you really need more elven bows but to make do without I'd say cirdan, Aragorn, Heir To The White City and Arwen, Elven Rider as your other companions

[Kenddrick]

Okie. So I'll go build my new Elf Fellowship deck. I'll post it here when I'm done!

[macheteman]

i'd actually start arwen, elven rider. that way you can use pathfinder and swordsman of the northern kingdom from the start. and you don't have to waste 3 card slots. plus the extra protection for the ring-bearer is nice.
