[macheteman]

not to mention the faithful stone / elven supplies / arwen she elf killer combo. it gets worse in expended with gorn dofp

Really not willing to be Mr. Know it All here, but this topic is so filled with misconceptions about "broken" and "good" cards and combos that it's difficult to know where to start commenting on anything 

Dunland broken? Don't look at them broken? wow... i've read enough 

[Haszor]

I personally think that The Faithful Stone is just over-powered, but not quite broken.  If there weren't the prevent option then definitively.  And it needs to be unique but other than that...

[TheJord]

Broken, for me, is all about the loops.

Demoralized + Rapid Reload
Gamling's Horn + New Chapter
Steadfast Champion et al

Everything else is just a better than normal card, although cards like The Faithful Stone and Prized Lagan (to name a few) are just cheap.

So everyone knows cards are broken if they allow you to do something that the game wasn't supposed to be able to happen.  For example, Mordor Fiend/ Dark Lord SUmmons: Erkenbards Horn/ New Chapter.  Or Steadfast champion or a few others.  For a better definition check the Open block.

Oh, I know what broken cards are, what I meant is some people in this topic don't, so it's hard to follow a discussion where someone argues that Sleep Caradhras is broken. Looks like they just never played the game, just read the card texts lol

[leokula]

I'm not the one who thumbed you down, just for the record.

If Shoulder to Shoulder is broken, why does it shows up only in like 0.001% of all movie block game played?

[NappyKorn]

Because people respect the game and ALWAYS refuse to play broken stuff, hahahahaahaha .

[Haszor]

Why are we even having this discussion?  Everyone knows expanded is the most broken (Open excluded)

[FM]

We're not. We're just making fun of the poor card choices that were claimed to be broken, mostly. Feel free to join.

ramolar lol... ur logic fails.
1)Gimlis helm isn't broken because it can be discarded by corsair marauder
2)For shoulder to shoulder its great to have elrond as a ally cos it's 3 heals, then 2 heals each time
3)Sleep or Grown-obviously you aren't going to use it if ur fp is condition based ... omg
4)Blade and black- you should look more closely at what type and how many cond removal is it even worth to put in a deck and this is 8 powerful cheap to free conditions
5)Shire countryside-yes it is its very easy
6)dont look at them- its great card cycling, solo smeagol, other types of smeagol for example one that exhausts minions, its 2 vs nazgul, can be used to lose initiative for example etc.
7)merrys sword- you do realize he takes back possessions from discard also there is this one condition that gets the sword back also

Basically I can comment and all what you said and its all too noobish and wrong. So the part you don't understand is the difference in knowing lotr tcg and between us its huge. You may think you are right but trust as I pointed above you are wrong

ps btw muad aragorns bow-uruks can add threats,prevent archery, cosairs can disc possessions, orc can add threats, nazgul can add threats and use em to prevent wounds, evil man can add threats too much counters can't agree it being broken and faithful stone is errated if u remember

and again I already said horn deck isn't played

Someone's an arrogant asshat. Jesus H. Christ, you know less about the game than I did five years ago, and that's saying something. 

[Olorin]

Hi guys,

IMO only a few cards are broken - sure there are powerful/more useful cards... strategies, etc.
...loops, like Jordy said can be bad too...

...but nice idea from tempest to post something like that, due to that many people think standard is a broken format and movie is that balanced... there are differences in gameplay

Anyone have thoughts on Relics of Moria (when combined with Goblin Scimitar and Goblin Armory)?

It's a powerful combo, but I don't think it's broken. That's one card I wish was not on the x-list for movie block. But then my play-group and I don't abide by the x-list anyway... So I use this card in my moria deck, but I do sometimes feel a little guilty.

It's utterly broken LOL Moria can win games very easily without it, what say with 4 of it.
