The past league I chose Gandalf/Rohan/Rangers...possibly the one before that as well (possible I chose Elves 2nd Serie tho), so I ended up voting that one as its the one I've usually chosen. It's a very clear path to a very strong shadow.

This time around, unless my booster pulls make it VERY obvious for me, I'm going to try something different, and Go full-on Rohan Fellowship. The only thing that bothers me is the low number of mounts provided. You get Brego and then only 1 Rider's Mount. So for me, I'm hoping to pull some more mounts in the boosters The good news is that you get a bunch of mounts available in the King block packs as well.

We'll see! A lot, as always, will come down to those booster pulls!

Having looked through all the various starters, I'm pretty sure I'm going to go Gondor/Rohan, Elves/Gandalf, Rangers. The Gondor/Rohan starter seems like the strongest for Series 1 to me, those three starters will give me an all-Uruk-hai concentration, so they should coordinate well for Shadow. It's also solid Isengard, and I'm really hoping to acquire at least one Saruman's Power along the way. I'm thinking of going solid Fellowship of the Ring for all my booster pulls, which could get me some of the best Isengard stuff out there. I'll look forward to adding Gandalf and high Archery in Series 2, and I'm also banking on pulling at least one Sleep, Caradhras. I don't plan on running many (if any) FP conditions, so Sleep, Caradhras should work great for me as an FP condition bomb. So far most of you Movie Sealed vets seem almost unanimously in favor of the Rangers deck for Series 3, and there are more good Uruk-hai in there, so it seems like a solid choice to me.
