I have everything released in two Hobby Lobby artist boxes, using Broken Tokens insert for said box. That's just the encounter cards. All player cards I have in binders

PJOmega posted:Anyone have a good set of 4 decks out of 2 cores for LotR? Have no idea what to do when it comes to deckbuilding. You can't really build a 4x 50 card decks with just two cores. Just take all the cards, max 3, and 2 Gandalfs for each deck and call it a day.

I'm betting we'll get two new heroes, both Rangers of Ithilien. I'd guess a new version of Faramir (leadership, perhaps?) and another. I'd guess a hero version of Damrod.

ALLAN LASSUS posted:If I could by a "completion pack" for any LCG core with just the cards I need to get everything in triplicate, I'd buy it in a heartbeat even if it cost like 75-85% of the core set price. It's not so much about the money than the fact that I just feel really really lovely buying Yet Another Core Set with a useless huge cardboard box and a bunch of cards that I have literally no use for. http://teamcovenant.com/store/covenant-starters.html

ChiTownEddie posted:Fourth AP announcement for Angmar Awakened... I'm thinking a Lore/Tactics deck. Perhaps paired with Hama and Mablung. You could use Mablung's ability for resource generation to pay for cards, and Hama could recycle events that are discarded. Throw Protector of Lorien in there to fully utilize the extra cards.

NuclearPotato posted:So I'm finally getting a chance to play LotR with other people tomorrow. One of them (my brother) has played the game with me once before, but the other people (potentially up to two, I don't know exactly who's going to be there) are new to the game. The problem here is that I only have one core, plus Hunt for Gollum. Playing on easy should reduce the strain a bit; are there any cards from HfG that you all, the experienced deckbuilders, would add in? Assume that I'd stick to 30 card decks in 4 player. If there's only three, I'll probably have the Beorn's Path decks available, but that'll mean having to create a similar deck for the third player with the leftovers, so suggestions on that would be nice, too. Leadership Replace Brok Ironfist and/or Grim Resolve for Campfire Tales and Dunedain Mark Lore Replace Gandalf's Search with Strider's Path Spirit Replace Power in the Earth for Westfold Horse-Breaker Tactics Replace Stand Together for Winged Guardian.

I'm still fairly new to Conquest, but I'm trying to help a buddy out by building him an Ork deck. He wants to focus on the core set for now, but I have enough core sets to do 3x of everything. Here's what I put together. Thoughts? Deck Created with CardGameDB.com Warhammer 40,000: Conquest Deckbuilder Total Cards: (50) Warlord: 1x Nazdreg (Core Set) Army Unit: (19) 4x Nazdreg’s Flash Gitz (Core Set) 3x Crushface (Core Set) 3x Goff Boyz (Core Set) 3x Rugged Killa Kans (Core Set) 3x Shoota Mob (Core Set) 3x Sniveling Grot (Core Set) Attachment: (7) 1x Cybork Body (Core Set) 3x Dire Mutation (Core Set) 3x Rune-Encrusted Armor (Core Set) Event: (11) 2x Bigga is Betta (Core Set) 3x Battle Cry (Core Set) 3x Promise of Glory (Core Set) 3x Snotling Attack (Core Set) Support: (13) 1x Kraktoof Hall (Core Set) 3x Bigtoof Banna (Core Set) 3x Ork Kannon (Core Set) 3x Promethium Mine (Core Set) 3x Tellyporta Pad (Core Set)

Tiny Chalupa posted:Hey so I think I might take the plunge to Get the LoTr ccg and I had a few questions Ok. Let me try to respond. For a full set, you need three core sets, but there's only about 13 cards that you need that third set for, so I recommend only getting one, then getting a second if you really love it. It is totally possible to play Dwarf decks, and for a while, they were the dominate archetype. If you want to play Dwarves, get these expansions first: * Return to Mirkwood Adventure Pack * The Hobbit: Over Hill and Under Hill Saga Expansion * The Hobbit: On the Doorstep Saga Expansion There are other great expansions, but those will give you a good start on Dwarves. For a great purchasing guide, check out my buddy Ian's blog: https://talesfromthecards.wordpress.com/2013/09/13/new-player-buying-guide/

frgildan posted:Elf friend feels like one of the most broken cards for Lord of the Rings. I had Gimli hitting for 10 damage and had range and had black arrow on him. But how many cards did you have, how many turns did it take, and how close to death was he? The fact that it doesn't do anything on its own but give a trait doesn't make it broken.

Minrad posted:In LOTR, if a player does something to look at the top of the encounter deck, do all players get to see it or only the player who used an action to look at it? (And in the latter situation he wouldn't be able to do more than warn "welp bad poo poo's coming" or whatever you think doesn't go against the spirit of the game) That's up to you guys. I typically play it as public information.

sassassin posted:Erestor's ability says you discard all cards from your hand at the end of every round. After Erestor's effect triggers, it doesn't trigger again that round. You would discard, you would then draw a card, which you would keep for the next round. Silver Harp would let you keep a card to the next round.

sassassin posted:Lorfindel might work better than his Spirit version tbh. I don't understand this statement. Why? To go from a starting threat of 34 from 27, you get a mediocre, at best, healing ability, and a lore resource icon. Even if you don't get Light of Valinor in your starting hand, Spirit Glorfindel is the superior choice.

sassassin posted:A lore resource every turn is more valuable than another spirit one when he's playing Eowyn & Elrond. If he's looking for Elrond to spend on other spheres he's going to have a hard time playing the great Lore cards he has access to. There is nothing in a Elrond/Glorfindel/Eowyn deck that would justify Healing Herbs. The loss of either of those heroes to heal another would be a waste of their stats. Looking at the cards available in the expansions he has, I would rather have more access to Spirit resources. Throw all unexpected courages on Elrond, and you have plenty of utility on both Elrond and Glorfindel.

Mr. Met posted:I keep reading that FFG thinks the LCG space is saturated and that the consensus is that a game will be retired when they launch Five Rings. Is that right, and is the idea that it will likely be LOTR? I'd be kinda bummed about that since it occupies a unique space in being co-op and playable solo, which is how I play. I also just started getting into it and would love to collect everything (sans Nightmare cards) eventually. If they go in that direction, I hope they keep stuff in print a while, or design a new game that allows for solo play. The only reason they would do that is if they wanted to get completely out of the cooperative realm in LCGs, which I doubt.

I think the toughest thing you're going to have with this deck is getting the Skyward Volley combo off. Your only tactics hero isn't Noldor, so can't take advantage of Arwen's abiity. Sure, you can draw into Song of Battle, but that's two cards in 50. Also, ringsdb.com is a beautiful thing. Here's your deck: http://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/912/selecta84-s-skyward-volley-deck-1.0 And here's my version: http://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/913/my-version-of-selecta84-s-skyward-volley-deck-1.0 I trimmed out the horse breakers for Rivendell Minstrels, so you can fetch the songs. I also added To the Sea, To the Sea, since most of the allies are Noldor, giving you some more cost smoothing. I took out Daeron's Runes, since Elven Light is a pretty strong card draw and I added Will of the West to recycle the deck if needed.

This is the biggest inside joke in the LOTR community. Can it be a rule to not discuss speculation of LOTR dying? sassassin posted:They're at the end of the book at it's already got a huge number of expansions and the people running it don't give a poo poo about LotR itself and are already eyeing new projects. This is the dumbest loving thing I've read. I know Caleb and Matt personally and they bleed LOTR. Power creep isn't a thing. If anything, there has been a throttling of power. They have been focused on new mechanics, rather than just upping strength. Let's move on.

Sloober posted:I really do wish FFG released a 3-4p gear pack so i dont have to waste money on another box and toss out half the cards. (For Arkham LCG) Every player card is useful in a second core set. The only thing you're "wasting" are the encounter cards. I don't have the sets in front of me, but you could use the extra encounter cards to have multiple scenarios built at the same time. Overall, I'd say AH is one of the best value propositions as far as LCG core sets go.
