The Nîn-in-Eilph is a quest that does one thing very well: giving you the feeling to be in an endless swamp. While being thematic is normally a good thing, here it's different. Finding a way out of this swamp is not an enjoyable experience, and therefore the quest has a bad reputation in the community. … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Nîn-in-Eilph
With the last two quests being pretty tough, we move on to one of the easier quests of this cycle. While I find easy quests often too boring (like Into Fangorn), I have good memories of Trouble in Tharbad. The mechanic to get your threat down to zero is something unique and allows unusual deckbuilding … Continue reading Deckbuilding: Trouble in Tharbad
Coming back from my summer holidays I continue with the deckbuilding series, this time tackling The Three Trials. It's one of my favourite quests from the entire game, being not just a great boss fight but having also great replayability thanks to the different combinations of Guardians, Barrows and Trials.

While this is in most cycles the hardest one (like Escape from Dol Guldur or Siege of Cair Andros) here it's probably the opposite. The community difficulty rating of 4.3 is significantly lower than those of the other quests. This doesn't … Continue reading Deckbuilding: Into Fangorn
Continuing on this series with the Voice of Isengard deluxe, we move on to To Catch an Orc. At this point I’m very happy to play this series in solo, because this quest in higher player counts can become pretty much impossible. It will still be a big challenge to find a deck to beat … Continue reading Deckbuilding: To Catch an Orc
Hey, it's Roka here, with the honour to introduce you to a new article format for Vision of the Palantir. In those posts I will take the quest analyses on this blog and use them in practice, by building and tweaking a deck for a specific quest that can beat it regularly. I will use … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Fords of Isen
