To continue our mono-sphere deck analysis, we move on to the Lore sphere. In this article I will go over the cards that are amazing for a line-up of mono-Lore heroes, and what synergies work well with it. As with Spirit, I will go over the strengths and weaknesses of the sphere first, before moving … Continue reading Mono-Lore

Q&A: October 2019
Having been nearly a year since the last one, I thought it was time that I did another one of these Q&As. With the blog receiving just over 100k views at this point in the year, and with the blog overall getting 150k views, it was the opportune moment, so here we are. A few … Continue reading Q&A: October 2019
Con of the Rings 2019: Experiences and memories
Last week was Con of the Rings 2019, and like last year, I attended. There have been so many things going on during that week, that it was hard to keep up with. But in this recap article I will go over my games and the things I did during the entire week. Unlike last … Continue reading Con of the Rings 2019: Experiences and memories
Vision of the Palantir Loot 2019
After the success of last year's loot, it was time for me to start thinking about what I could give away this year to my authors, patrons, and other supporters. Last year I had the custom coconut tokens that I could make for free at the internship company I was working. I did not have … Continue reading Vision of the Palantir Loot 2019
Mono-Spirit
As a part of the archetype analysis, I have decided to cover the different mono-sphere decks that you can build in this game. Building a mono-sphere has several advantages, such as being immune to The Master's Malice and being able to pay for more expensive cards quicker. However, it is a fine balance, because you … Continue reading Mono-Spirit

Monthly Poll: September 2019
As the month concludes, we round out the monthly poll as well. This month's poll concerned the Guarded (X) attachments from the Ered Mithrin cycle. I pitted the attachments against each other and gave all visitors to the site 2 votes to decide what two Guarded (X) attachments are the best in their opinion. I … Continue reading Monthly Poll: September 2019
Doomed
One of the more controversial mechanics to bring to a multiplayer game is the Doomed mechanic. This set of cards rarely uses resources to pay for their effects, but instead requires all players to raise their threat. It is a difficult mechanic to properly integrate in the decks of all players, so not everyone will … Continue reading Doomed
Guarded Cards
During the Ered Mithrin cycle, a new set of cards was introduced with amazing abilities. However, these 7 cards all come with the Guarded (X) keyword, which means that when you play them, they attach to either a location or enemy in play. Exploring the location or defeating the enemy will allow you to get … Continue reading Guarded Cards
Staples: Location control
Location control is a mechanic in the game that is very close to my heart. I will gladly ditch the Tactics sphere in order to play more cards that interact with locations. But between all of the various cards that swap active locations, discard locations, and place progress, some are stronger than others. In this … Continue reading Staples: Location control
