imageThe Threatening Shadow

This Deck article was written by openCards user Jaxander at Dec 20th, 2009.

((Sorry, for some reason it brings up a bunch of Tournaments above my deck layout. This is my first time using OpenCards, and I selected <none> for where it's been used, but for some reason they all still come up.)) 

Probably my favorite deck that I've made. Like most of mine, it's heavy focus is on the Shadow side. Gollum cards utilize threats for my opponent, putting them out as well as using them to their fullest extent. Support the Gollum set-up with some Ringwraith to fill out the Threat usage and add in some muscle as well.

The Free-Peoples side is built to last, buying you another turn to get back to Shadow. Solid Gondor Knight deck, using a few fortifications, some generic Knights for low cost and something to throw under the Balrog Bus. Nothing terribly special here.

imageGollum and the Nazgul

This Deck was build by Matt Clemans and was published first on "Lord of the Rings Online (lotrtcg.decipher.com)".

Let's talk about sub-optimal assignments. A sub-optimal assignment is when you force your opponent to choose to assign their characters in a less-than-desirable way. If you have a fully loaded fellowship facing a bunch of Moria orcs, for example, you will likely put the strongest orcs on the strongest companions in an effort to kill as many orcs as possible. This way, you don't have to deal with as many orcs being placed on Goblin Swarms and you are safer for the possible double move. If, however, you can make choosing assignments much harder for the Free People's player, then you can increase the chances that they will make a fatal mistake.

imageNever Did I See An Axe So Wielded!

This Deck was build by Shawn Conley and was published first on "Lord of the Rings Online (lotrtcg.decipher.com)".

So your opponent will be saying once your dwarven companions begin to slay his minions. Though short in stature, the dwarves of Middle Earth are indeed stout and sturdy. Properly equipped and supported, a fellowship of dwarven companions should be capable of slaying even the toughest of minions that attempt to block your triumphant arrival at site nine. With their easily boosted strength and high damage bonus potential they are a fearsome bunch of fighters. So, how do you, the LotR player, make this happen you ask? Well, let's take a look and see.

imageRide, Southrons, Ride!

This Deck was build by Cynthia Hart and was published first on "Lord of the Rings Online (lotrtcg.decipher.com)".

With the advent of Two Towers and Battle of Helm's Deep the weary feet of both companions and minions were given respite, in the form of mounts.

First the companions mounted up in Two Towers but now Battle of Helm's Deep has arrived and it's the shadow side's turn. Isengard gets Wargs, wolves as big as small horses, while the Raiders get Mumaks, the largest mounts yet seen in the movie. But not just anyone can jump on the nearest mount - each one has it's own subset of riders.

Although Mumaks are a Raider mount, only the Southrons can ride them. So the question becomes: What makes the Mumaks a good card for a Southron deck and what strategies do they enhance?

imageThe Rohan / Trust deck

This Deck was build by Matt Clemans and was published first on "Lord of the Rings Online (lotrtcg.decipher.com)".

With the release of The Battle of Helm's Deep expansion, the ever popular Trust Me As You Did deck archetype has undergone some changes. Grima, Chief Counselor makes the Gimli/Legolas start much more risky to play, while the introduction of two new Rohan Companions with the Gandalf signet makes a single culture Trust deck much more viable. Here we'll look at how the Gandalf signet versions of Eowyn and Theoden can be used to create a solid Trust deck that is not vulnerable to either Grima, Chief Counselor, or Grima, Wormtongue.

imageThe Trust Me deck

This Deck was build by Matt Clemans and was published first on "Lord of the Rings Online (lotrtcg.decipher.com)".

When I first saw the spoiler list for Realms of the Elf Lords, I was immediately drawn to Trust Me As You Once Did. Cards that stay on the table and pump up your companions are very strong, and Trust is no exception. The ability to pump any of your companions up to +3 in a skirmish allows you to win many skirmishes and makes Trust decks a staple of today's tournament environment. There is no standard Trust deck - any number of deck archetypes can use it. One of the things that make it appealing to the people who play it is its diversity. Here we'll look at why Trust Me As You Once Did - or just Trust - is a strong card and why it is a solid choice to build a deck around.

imageDunland Site Control

This Deck was build by a anonymous person and was published first on "Lord of the Rings Online (lotrtcg.decipher.com)".

One of the more fun Dunland decks to play is site control. It isn't as consistent as, for example, focusing on possession removal and fierce skirmishes, but when it works, it really works - and it's great fun to try.

There are two parts to the deck - controlling the sites, and then making use of them. Careful balance is needed to ensure that you can actually get some sites early enough in the game to make a difference, and that you have enough cards to take advantage of it when you do.

imageThe Conditions of Ulaire Lemenya

This Deck was build by Hayden-William Courtland and was published first on "Lord of the Rings Online (lotrtcg.decipher.com)".

Every now and then I like to sift through the sets of Decipher's The Lord of the Rings TCG and look for a new deck archetype based on a card that seldom sees play. Now, I don't pretend that these new creations will be powerhouses in the tournament circuit, but hey, people still play for fun right? Recently I ran across and old friend in the Nazgul culture, Ulaire Lemenya. Lemenya has been a particular favorite of mine as most players viewed him as the black sheep of the Nazgul. It's true, Lemenya has issues. For one, he has only 9 strength and 2 vitality. Then, of course, there's the little fact that he's not Fierce. But do not weep for him! For he is not without brothers and possesses a few tricks of his own.
