Council of Elrond

Power Deck sizes have been changed to 50/50/50. This change was due to four reasons: 1) include more useful minion resources. I dislike seeing rings end the Council Turns and then have no room for them in a Power Deck. I made the Angmar deck and it has no Unleash or Above the Abyss 2) allow players ...

Lord Thrain has retaken Moria. Yet, his grudge against Felagrog burns as hot as Aule’s forge. Rest will not be felt by the Longbeards until that balrog is no more. Thorin and Balin will hunt for the balrog in the under-deeps Lord Thrain will journey with Dain in the under-deeps or on the surface to ...

Alatar has exchanged his deck with the Power Deck Dwarf; that dwarf will have two Deep Mountain Fortress, factions, and resources ready for war in ever crevice. Also, I want the dwarf-hold already set in Moria in case Alatar is corrupted, which will then have a base in Great Central Plains north of ...

The full file is attached. I hav Pallando on this part of the map in case he becomes a fallen-wizard or starts the Power Decks as a fallen-wizard. A fallen-Pallando will likely relocate near the Ered Haml for access to the Bay of Ormal factions, bother Sauron from the east, and conflict with Alatar ...

Let me write my thoughts about the slaying of a Dragon-lord. I asked myself what happens to the motivation of a Dragon-lord player when his avatar is eliminated? Can that player have a Power Deck? First, I was thinking of "giving" each Ringwraith his Ring for Mortal Men , with some changes like spir...

Here is a Power Deck for the avatar Elessar with a mission to hold back Mordor for the Ringbearer. King Elessar has come into his own. Lord Denethor, the Steward of Gondor, came to an ungodly end. Now, elves and dunadan will use weapons of yore to chip the vanguard of Mordor’s armies. Two palantir w...

New Power Deck Rule: Avatars can start with up to six stage points [-me_sp-] as starting cards. Use this: 6 stage points must start play. No stage card can be worth more than 3 stage points. Conditions for play are not considered with other starting stage cards, as normal. At least one of the stage ...

This topic is about handling stage points during the Power Decks. Those with stage points and a Power Deck will surly have a massive pile of stage points to compete with other players. I do not want hazards to overburden such players during the Power Decks. Therefore, all hazard events that have a s...

There are some more limits. 1. Maximum of one Twilight per deck. 2. Call of Home is prohibited. Each player receives +5 free GI so to have more characters. That is still not enough. I may allow Call of Home to tap a character instead of discard/taken to hand. 3. Muster Disperses can only tap a facti...

I was reading the post that appeared years earlier in the same thread. If you still have put those cards out of the deck (mountain resource events, specific magic, coastal sea) may be have them in separate piles. For example, make an Eriador pile of Misty Mountain Deeps, the Shire MPs, and items spe...

OVERVIEW Radagast the Brown was been warding-off the darkness in Mirkwood. Now comes the true test. Men and Elves will rally to starve the minions of the Lidless Eye from two Elf-holds and hope to provide a path for the Ringbearer through Mirkwood. Thranduil, Fanar, Brand, and Beorn join to form str...

That speaks highly of your passion and awe to the art, the tale, and of your own values. I am glad to know
that such an act has taken place.

Four years later, there is an update. I am reviewing the Power Decks to add themes to the resource events. Changes include only one Dagger of Westernesse and Barrow-blade for a Sword of Gondolin and Scabbard of Chalcedony. This player will combat massive trolls. There is a tactic to move two compani...

Not much has changed. First, I added Ungolcrist and Golden Chain. Legolas will use that sword to comfront spawn minion allies. Gwaihir was added so to greatly move four hobbits away from trouble. Maybe to move from Dorwnion to Lorien. I removed Dark Quarrels for another No Waiting to Wonder and Seco...

This topic is about limits to the cards allowed in the Power Decks. Characters: No eliminated character is allowed in any deck, unless as a trophy if that rule is used. Unless, corrupted hero characters can be played as minion characters with (an additional) -1 to corruption checks. Unless, body che...
