PaybackJack posted:No Greyjoy player in your meta? They Greyjoy that won our store tourney won with a deck that focused on high initiative with 2 claim. His goal was to get Balon out and run Put to the Sword as well. He destroyed a Night's Watch player when he played Naval Superiority and other person dropped Trading with Pentoshi. I'd have to ask but I'm positive first snow wasn't part of it at all. You can build perfectly good decks without it.

Oh sure, and noone said otherwise. But it's far from just "ok", it's an extremely powerful plot that will remain relevant until it cycles out in a few years.

Particularly out of Greyjoy because of all the Stealth. I'd rather Claim 1 and make them lose a guy that cost 4+ than claim 2 and have them toss away a few scrubs. Opens the board up for SeaStone chair as well.

You can usually keep playing out enough cheap guys to keep the sacrifice engine going and soak claim.

Played and beat Flight from Moria with a friend. Highlight was when my friend used Riversong to look at the top card, which was a cave troll. We spend a few minutes figuring out how to combat it and then start questing, revealing the quest that says "either a) discard 1 card per player and the player is eliminated if they discard a treachery, but you win if you clear this stage or b) put this at the bottom of the quest deck." We decide to go for the 50% shot and discard... two cave trolls. (It would have been better if we didn't immediately have the quest reshuffle away but eh we won anyway. Thanks to whoever pointed out Tactics Boromir.)

I returned to Mirkwood. Had ungoliant spawn and attercop as main enemies but i managed to take care of them easily enough. The ambush at the end was just a bat which was no problem.

I ntered the Pit and got out again. It seemed like I was on the first quest card for ages, getting nowhere. Too many locations were up and I had neither northern trackers nor Asfaloth. Though I did have lorien guides to help with the active location a bit. I didn't use the Torch enough I think. Eventually I got to The bridge of Kazadum and the guides got me to the next quest card (since I had heaps on the first quest card, finished off the enemies that came in to play mostly that round - quick stricked one in the planning phase of the next round. Had 49 threat, Gandalf'd to get to a safe amount. Which was good because I got Doomed a bit. And then managed to finish the third quest card in one round. I just seemed to get momentum when I got the sword that was broken, and from there I just pushed through. I needed a couple of threat reductions in there for sure. Star-gazer + Gleowine combo saved me in the end, basically.

Made it passed the seventh level on the second attempt. Both games had similar starting hands and draws from the encounter deck. First time i got swamped. Second time i kept the staging area mostly clear. Slight difference made a world of change.

Once I get set up again the wife and I intend to play through all of the Mirkwood stuff in order before moving on to the Hobbit Saga stuff until they get the next expansion adventure packs back in stock.

We had exactly this situation last night, but with the addition of me being engaged with a Patrol Leader for the -entire- game. But the good news is Grima makes a good defender... when he's an Elf-Friend, wearing a Cloak of Lórien and holding a Burning Brand.

I kept seeing the "cancel damage" shadow cards, but the Patrol Leader never got lucky against me. Though I think I had to kill it twice. The turning point was getting the Sword that was broken onto Aragorn . Before that point I was looking at defeat. I almost thought I had to discard Aragorn due to Crumbling Ruin until I noticed I had A test of Will in my hand. I was a bit distracted. I'm liking the Kazad-dum quests so far. I felt lost in the first one due to too many locations, and swarmed in the seventh level. Very thematic.

So my 4 player group decided to try Flies and Spiders today, we went in blind. When we got to stage 2 the player who was separated from us was the one with the tactics deck  . We didn't win.We decided to keep 4 players games to a minimum, probably 0, the game gets really fiddly at that player count and there's way to many things to keep track to play comfortably without worrying we missed something.

Speaking of the Flight from Moria. Has anyone killed the Nameless Fear? Sure it's immune to player card effects, but it's not immune to combat damage. If you have enough attackers that can attack the staging area, and can adequately buff them, then you might be able to kill it. Dunhere with two Daggers of Westernesse and up to three Unseen strikes would be 16 attack for one round. I'm sure you could build a deck around getting the most +Attack then giving someone Nor am I stranger and using Forth Eorlingas. Amoeba102 fucked around with this message at 23:18 on May 22, 2016 |

Theoretically possible with something like : Dúnhere + steward of gondor + gondorian fire and just pile resources on Dunhere until he has enough to kill the Nameless Fear. Not sure what that does with effect of A Foe Beyond.

Well, I would take it to be 0 since the nameless fear is out of play.

The official answer is that "immune to player card effects" means it can't be targeted by Dúnhere. I beat Flight from Moria today using Erebor Record Keepers to get 3 progress from the abandoned tools in a single Refresh phase.

Foehammer posted:The official answer is that "immune to player card effects" means it can't be targeted by Dúnhere. Maybe Dunhere can be said to target with his ability. But Forth Eorlingas's text is "Each Rohan hero can be declared as an attacker against enemies in the staging area this phase." Which doesn't require picking the Nameless fear as a target.

According to a response from one of the designers, you can't attack enemies with "immune to player card effects" with Dunhere and Great Yew Bow because they directly target the enemy, but you can use Hands upon the Bow and probably Forth Eorlingas since they target your characters.

So Nor am I a Stranger + Forth Eorlingas, or Dunedain Cache + Hands upon the Bow - first option means you can use all your Rohan attackers at once which is probably easier. Second one you'd need to buff someone a lot.

Flight from Moria attempt one. Orc drummer and a wrong turn right up with a bunch of enemies revealed right off the bat so my threat was messed up and I was overwhelmed pretty quick. Took a chance on blocked by shadow and lost one player. And it was pretty much over in 3 rounds.

The deck my friend was running was a mono-Leadership Aragorn/Hirluin/Erkenbrand Outlands deck and it doesn't run the Sword That Was Broken. Thanks for reminding me that card exists, would have been looking at about 15 more willpower late game. Also I'm a big Khazad-Dum fan, but tbh the Dwarrowdelf cycle is even better. You're in for a treat!

Flight from Moria take two. Moved from quest to quest a lot. Got Hasty council and narrow paths was beaten since i needed those tools. Also had to clear a dreaful gap and beat a great cave troll. So the nameless fear was at 11. Aragorn jad the sword that was broken but got broken by a bad shadow card effect that made him take damage equal to the nameless fears attack. Had the tools was on the escape quest. Limped along to 3 progress. Then a bad run saw me hit a cave in i couldn't cancel so i was pretty much over since i couldnt do 4 more rounds. Threated out anyway. drat victory point cards.

I would have expected they'd gone the "adventure card game" route like they did with Warhammer Quest. Seems like a better fit than another LCG but I guess we'll see how it plays out.
