Underrated Movie Block cards/combos
« on: July 13, 2010, 11:44:39 AM »
So we all know what Movie block cards get high ratings and inclusion into most decks (Ulaire Enquea, LoM, Saved from the Fire, elven bows, most corsairs, etc.)--what I'm interested in is the lesser known ones--the hidden gems of Movie block, if you will.
What cards/combos do you consider to be most underrated?

I'd say Derufin is a pretty underated card. It is very splashable in any deck that lacks possession removal.

Merry's Sword is one of the best movie block cards in my opinion.

Most of those are used reasonably frequently. I'd say one of the most under-valued cards is Feild of the Fallen. Fires raged unchecked is another, as well as Ghastly host.

Sam, Son of Hamfast
Smeagol, Poor Creature
Fireworks
Gollum, Stinker
Captured By the Ring
Goblin Runner
Grishnakh, Orc Captain
Red Wrath or Whirling Strike
A Light In His Mind
Brooding On Tomorrow

Those guys come to mind off the top of my head.

None of those are really underrated, they're raw power and everyone knows its. XD

I used Fires Raged Unchecked as an IB tech in one of my extended decks once. It was nice.

I'd have to say the most underrated is Not The First Halfling. I've run token reinforcement on that card. Its awesome.

one of my favorite cards.  One of my most favorite decks is a frodo sig 9 walkers FOTR block deck.

But Fires Raged Unchecked requires threats, those orcs remove the threats.. I don't think Fires Raged Unchecked is underrated, just not good.

I am finding myself liking On Your Doorstep more and more for any deck with Gandy--not sure how underrated it is
I think A Path Appointed is quite useful for its purposes--I use one in a token-based fellowship after discovering it recently.
Derufin is a great splash--possibly underrated. He absoutely destroys tough machine uruk/berserkers.
I agree with jdizzy001 that Aragorn signets are great--definitely an underrated element (as well as Frodo sigs---however everybody knows TMAYOD with Gandy sigs)
and sorry ket but your list definitely has power cards everybody is familiar with---Sam, SoH as underrated? really? lol
Fires Raged Unchecked  : P
