Middle Earth Tour: Ringmaker

Welcome to the latest article of the Middle Earth Tour Project, where we showcase some new, ‘nicer’ Locations in Middle Earth that may help, rather than hinder, your Quests within LOTRLCG. This time we head west to Rohan and Isengard to explore some iconic Locations from ‘The Voice of Isengard’ Deluxe set, and then up to Enedwaith … Continue reading Middle Earth Tour: Ringmaker →

Monthly Poll: June 2020

With another month coming to a close, it is time to look back at the poll that I have had up on the blog for the last 30 days. This poll asked everyone what their top 2 scenarios from the Ringmaker cycle are. The cycle is a little controversial, as the Time mechanic wasn't well … Continue reading Monthly Poll: June 2020 →

Deckbuilding in the Ringmaker-cycle

After having built a deck to beat each scenario of the Ringmaker-cycle, I want to give an overall summary of the decks I have built and some general deck building strategies for this cycle . 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 →

Deckbuilding: The Antlered Crown

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 →

Deckbuilding: Celebrimbor’s Secret

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 →

Deckbuilding: Trouble in Tharbad

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 →

Deckbuilding: The Three Trials

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. I will build for the … Continue reading Deckbuilding: The Three Trials →

Deckbuilding: Into Fangorn

With Into Fangorn we come to the final quest of the Voice of Isengard-deluxe. 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 →

Deckbuilding: To Catch an Orc

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 →

Deckbuilding: The Fords of Isen

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 →
