Almost flawless LttG

[Witchkingx5]

First, I like this Deck very much. Than, as for the cheap minions, use Uruk Spy! Fits in perfectly and can be a part of the bomb.

Heije,

You want to filter fast right and you want something that is strong enough against burdendecks. Following deck (with actually 8 more cards I played against a corruptiondeck and It survived! I actuaaly added 4 burdens myself as well! You will think only one thing lame in it Wink

The One Ring, The Binding Ring
Isildur, Bearer of Heirlooms

Start:
Gandalf, Leader of Men
Oathbreaker
Galadriel, Lady Redeemed

Fellowship:
2 Elrond, Herald to Gil-galad
Vilya
Legolas, Greenleaf
Narya
The Shards of Narsil
4 Elf Song
4 Banner of the White Tree
Anduril, Flame of the West
3 Saved From the Fire
King of the Dead, Oathbreaker
2 Sleepless Dead
Narsil, Blade of the Faithful
2 Scroll of Isildur
3 Aragorn, Elessar Telcontar

You don't need Swept Away. It will only add threats and you don't want that. Threatremoval will happen by killing of companions. No problems with decks that want to discard fs conditions and or possesions and you will cycle fast thanks to The Shards of Narsil, which you get out with saved from the fire. With 38/38 I was through my deck at about site 7. So guess what happen if you only play 30/30  

Yeah I know GLR is lame, but very needfull in this deck.. Either you use her to remove possesions or conditions or you use her toremove 4 burdens.Or you burn her to get your support I love Kate Blanchet  

Isuldur becomes resistance 9 by the way!

About the shadow..., maybe you want to replace 4x It Wants to be Found (2U78) with 4x Morgul Brute? Would be a burden or a wound on the rb, which makes you able to do your trick.

[Kralik]

Wounds on the RB are a liability, not a help, when it comes to LttG.

Don't you play it when you are sure you can do the trick. To me this deck is all about timing.

[Gil-Estel]

It is indeed all about timing, but when I want to do the trick I need a hand filled with LttG, orcs and gollum/captured. That is why I think about the Palantir, which is in my opinion very consistant. Muaddib, if you see Ben, ask him to review my deck, because I know he has played LttG as well ;-)

[Kralik]

I think you misunderstood. The problem is that if your opponent is aware that you are playing LttG, they can seek to exhaust the RB so that you cannot exert him. Therefore, being able to add extra wounds to the RB actually hurts rather than helps you.

See what you mean. In that case the mentioned Uruk Spy is very optionel. Palantir could be very usefull.

But if I see using somebody a combination moria + wraith nazgul then I automaticly go exhaust my rb.

By the way if you would play in Austrian, open or expanded you could use the site to heal your opponent (they must heal as it not states: you may (that's how I use radagast deceived)). After that you can wound or exert the rb again.

Would Slippery as Fishes be helpfull?

[Gil-Estel]

Early game is can be helpful absolutely, and it is good that it is an option, so who knows. Yeah, when you come to think of all the possibilities you are likely not to play this deck. I am testing it now with a Isengard twist....

So your still not ready for comming Sunday, when I'm comming to beat you Think I've got a very nasty deck.. Actually I would have 3 decks in play. Erwin and Menno will play with my 2 other decks.

Are we actually allowed to switch decks during the tournament? You mentioned that earlier...

[Kralik]

But if I see using somebody a combination moria + wraith nazgul then I automaticly go exhaust my rb.

And's that why my LttG decks all have alternate versions where it LOOKS like a LttG deck, but hits you in the end with Resistance Becomes Unbearable + Wraith World.

But my favorite LttG deck doesn't really give any opportunities to exhaust the RB, unless you can do it in the Fellowship phase (possible, but it really depends on whether you use the sorts of cards that exert to add tokens, etc)

[Gil-Estel]

And in regroup you can when you have either preparations or BRC....

I had those prolems with exhausting, too, but there's a very simpl way to prevent the whole thing:

play 4 copies of Sweeter Meats!

You already have Gollum, DaD and CbtR, so if you can keep Gollum with at least 3 vitality until the regroup phase to exert, so you'll win anyway!

[Gwaihir]

Sam, Samwise the Brave.   .  Not a real common card, but he's in one of my decks.  And he's not helpless either.

[Kralik]

Not... ahem... Helpless'ed?

[Gwaihir]

   No worries.
