CARDS for a Minion Dwarf Avatar update: 07-2015 reason: Provide a logistical means for a Grey Player Dwarf-Lord to have a surface haven site. I wanted to force the player to play We Have Come to Dig to play dwarf characters until Clan Bonds is played. Healing is allowed at the Hidden Haven of course...

CARDS FOR THE BALROGS THE WELL Unique. Durlach Specific. The following applies when Durlach is at one of his home sites. For every magic, spell or ritual event played by your opponents’ characters at such sites or moving to such sites, you can take a magic card from your discard pile to your hand. I...

As you can see the old files are not linked to the forum; soon after the unlinking I asked the forum master about this. He quickly relinked the pages - something about my files were mistakenly broken from the links. But it was simple and quick to fix. I am reviewing the Minion decks now. The Eriador...

This is a fun deck to make. [OLD text; ignore. Kept here for historical purposes. Talk to Oin about deletion.] FIRST DECK Until Felagrog comes into play you want to play as many items as possible. Start at Under-Gates so to draw cards when moving to Moria. Move to play Maker’s Map or a major item in...

While making Durlach's deck I decided to change Felagrog's deck. Nothing major. Changes include removing Descent Through Fire, Tempest of Fire and People's Diminished for Breach the Hold and Invade the Domain. Those last two events will be played on Mines of Angurath in the third deck. Two copies of...

I updated the file with a turn analysis. Here is the text for it. [Updated on 04-05-2015] FIRST DECK Until Felagrog comes into play you want to play as many items as possible. Start at Under-Gates so to draw cards when moving to Moria. Move to play Maker’s Map or a major item in the mountains. Then ...

I added a turn analysis for this player...glimpses on the ability to move and play all resources
in the first 24 turns.
Hurog will have a few CvCC in the second deck due to playing Honey and Smoke on the Wind
in Anduin Vales.

Ally Cave Troll was removed for the new spirit-magic event Familiar. SulferSpawn, Spider of Morlat as an ally, was considered. The updated file has a turn-by-turn expectations for each company. The Mouth is busy with playing factions for the first 20 turns. Keep him out of CvCC unless SulferSpawn is...

I updated the file. I added the turn-by-turn expectations for each company to gauge
if the player can do all that he wants. Dragonhelm of Uon was removed.

How many players did participate in the tournament? IIRC, there were 17 players. I took home last place! Lessons Learned: 1. Buy those nifty sleeves with a colored back for easy shuffling 2. Do not share cards between decks, so you do not forget to put in your avatar cards 3. Do build and playtest ...

What I try to do for my own sake is to make a decision quickly on what to discard or
fetch. Too many good cards in hand? Tough. Discard one and move on. Be like Aragorn II
with the palantir.

Nice to hear of the One Ring with Gandalf. Is there any house rules variant that allows using the One Ring so to keep it in play longer for more fun? That is if the player taps characters to support the CC with a bonus not +1 but plus the taping characters mind, then that will allow the One Ring to ...

This was my first tournament and my non-palantir using game of MECCG (not using technology of long-distance communication) since the 1990s. It showed in my poor decision making with the speed of the game and card memory too such as Trouble on All Borders. I made my resource decks on the plane ride. ...

I played a casual ARDA game on Saturday night; since this was not part of the tournament I placed this story here. Overall, I like ARDA. Hope to see it continue. It is better than FATE that no new cards or complex rules are needed. Here is my experience in that game of five. My roll was low for the ...
