So I've been playing casual games of Fellowship block on GEMP for the past two months, and it seems like in that time the meta-game has changed. Specifically, I rarely see Isengard shadow sides anymore, and Sauron shadow sides are a bit more frequent. I'm curious if anyone else has noted the same thing (maybe it's just coincidence as to who I happen to play against), and I'm wondering if those who've played for longer have noticed other trends over time.
I also wonder if there's a way for those on the backstage end of things to see statistics for what cards are more popular than others over time, either by looking at merchant prices or by number of appearances in decks that get played.
