i would go with : Such a Little Thing (3R80) and Hollowing of Isengard (3R54)

In original Fellowship block, Such a Little Thing was incredibly important. Horn of Boromir is very powerful. There were also lots of 3 and 4 bids, and 6 bids using Sam Son of Hamfast; getting 2 more burdens would trigger Enquea.
A Ranger's Versatility Decks ran Boromir for Flaming Brand and Gondor Bowmen; Hobbit decks ran the pumping version; Gandalf decks ran him as a fighter. Most decks ran a version. And you could always play it for no effect if needed. I saw Moria decks that ran 3.

As for other cards, I only played through set 13. I'll reinforce positive comments on Eowyn's Shield (for archery heavy metas) and Elven Rope. Any card that removes a Goblin Runner from the Ring-bearer is not a terrible card.

No problem, I was also suprised by some of those comments...

I suspect that if a TCG doesn't release any new cards at all, players start to use even "worse" cards, just to try them, to make them playable and to have more fun.

I don't think anyone was offended, so no need for apologies. We were just proving you wrong ;)

I am one of those players, but there is limit even to that with some cards. And those are the cards which should be named here. :mrgreen:

I declare Eowyn, Lady of the Mark and Miruvore for the category never-used-card. Although I will build a deck soon with these two. :)

well, like 30% of all Age's End cards are crap, 30% are Op and 40% are like ok. But Miruvore is not the only bad card in T&D; Enemy in Your Midst, Set Up... the liost is nearly endless.

Death they cried really reminds me of parallax arguers from stccg. It may not be the most competitive card, but it always makes for some funny diversion. The perfect meta card.

I LOVE DEATH THEY CRIED! Maybe I like it because of the event it represents.  mechanically, it isn't super effective, but..... "DEATH!"

Death They Cried DOES have a use - amusement! In fact, I pack four copies in all* of my Rohan decks... ;)

Actually, I think someone mentioned Change of Plans in this list. I was thinking it could be a fun card to combo with a discard deck when you know your opponent is biding their time by not playing minions and building a great hand. Maybe Change of Plans + No Safe Places.  :twisted:

*Technically this statement is true if you consider that I have no Rohan decks...

But can you pack cards in decks you don't have? :lol: But the Change of Plans and No safe places have their place in the fruit loop if I remember correctly....

Seventh level >.>

I use this in a deck.  Just make sure to play it during Regroup phase with Sixth Level, so you don't have to pay the cost of it before Shadow.
