With these turbulant times, it is sometimes difficult to keep track of time.

It is hard to imagine that I have already been publishing articles and commiting so much time to … Continue reading Third year anniversary
Nightmare Into the Pit
Classic Into the Pit is one of my favorite testing quests for new decks. It combines having to explore some locations in the first stage, with a combat focused second stage, so your deck has to do well at both. On top of that, the encounter deck has a large selection of horrible cards, ranging … Continue reading Nightmare Into the Pit

Monthly Poll: December 2020
This month's poll ended a little earlier, as the upcoming holidays don't allow me enough time to work on the article, so I might as well push it out now. Over the past month, I have polled what scenarios from the Vengeance of Mordor cycle are your favorite. I have done this for every cycle … Continue reading Monthly Poll: December 2020
