Having escaped the Dungeons of Mount Gram, our heroes continue their journey that leads them Across the Ettenmoors. An area whose danger lies in being exposed to the forces of nature, but also in the Trolls and Giants that inhabit it. Luckily, there are some safe places to be found to shelter our heroes. While … Continue reading Deckbuilding: Across the Ettenmoors
After having made our way through The Wastes of Eriador in the last article of this series, we now have arrived at Mount Gram. There, our heroes have been captured, split apart and thrown into the dungeon, from which they need to find a way out. While this sounds like a tough premise, Escape from … Continue reading Deckbuilding: Escape from Mount Gram
For my first article of this year, I'm interrupting my current deckbuilding series of the Angmar Awakened cycle to write about a quest I played "I-lost-count-of-how-many" times during the last month: The Fortress of Nurn, the final adventure pack of the Vengeance of Mordor cycle and with that, the whole game. There is no scenario … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Fortress of Nurn
Deadmen's Dike is the quest that I remember as my first really big stumbling block in the game. I started this game with the Ringmaker Cycle and first Saga boxes in addition to the core set, and while they have some difficult scenarios, you can tech for them and have some powerful player cards available. … Continue reading Deckbuilding: Deadmen’s Dike
On a cold day of November like today, I'm happy to not have to go outside in the Biting Wind and instead can Make Camp in my armchair, playing some Lord of the Rings and continue this deckbuilding series… and imagine how my heroes are out there in the cold of the Weather Hills, fighting … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Weather Hills

Well first of all I am going to recommend RingsDB, … Continue reading Testing Quests (or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love My Deck)

I will start with a list of all the decks in links to their articles: The Fords of Isen: Watchers … Continue reading Deckbuilding in the Ringmaker-cycle
With the Antlered Crown, this series comes to the final quest of the Ringmaker cycle. We meet once again with the Dunlendings after 3 quests without them for a final battle to conclude the narrative about the Dunlending civil war. I think two things are necessary from my deck to defeat this quest: High willpower … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Antlered Crown
It has been a while since I published my last article on this series, but now I finally found the time to return. Celebrimbor's Secret is my favourite deck testing scenario and I play most new decks I build first against this one. Because the quest isn't very well known for this, I will first … Continue reading Deckbuilding: Celebrimbor’s Secret
