The Seventh has returned to her dwelling in Lugarlur. She is tasked to rebuild Umbar to be a rival of Gondor. Many Black Numeroneans are still living along the Coast of Harad. Adunaphel will gather an army to invade the belly of Gondor. Her main opponent is Imrahil. Pharacas will become a Warlord wi...

Akhorahil has returned to his fiefdom with magic-users. This sorcerer will play many magic events (16 different) to stop Pallando in Far Harad. Magic Rings and the lost Emerald of Unlight will shine destruction upon the free peoples along the Yellow Mountains including those stubborn dwarves. Severa...

[updated with 1-2018 file upload] Throkmaw the Vain has found the moment to rule as a Dragon-King. Smaug has grown fat and lazy on his pile of gold. Smaug has gotten his own agent...for movies. After eating his fifth agent he has grown desperate for scripts - even a script with a hero hobbit. Lomaw ...

I playtested this deck thrice up to certain turns (11, 16, 19) before posting. One game Smaug was not drawn and played until the fifth turn. Smaug's moving helped gain hoard items, but he was vulnerable to Birth-spot, Dwarven War Party and Dragon Hunters. One combination of Birth Spot and Dwarven Wa...

The whole of Middle-Earth is watching the Lonely Mountain. Smaug can now earn the recognition of dragons since Glaurung did as Dragon-King. Smaug has awaken from a long slumber. He craves to build his hoard. Some evil men he has put under his enchanted stare or promise of wealth will find hoard item...

R019 Not sure it is worth it to complicate things by distinguishing between nr. of avatars in deck, can you give an example of a 1 or 2 avatar deck? Why would one play a 1 avatar deck? Or do you mean, 1 of each avatar? The idea about the specific number of avatar cards in the deck is to limit abuse...

The minion players will have 8 slots 1-Necromancer or Court of Ardor 2,3,4 Top Three Ringwraiths 5-Aradagor vs. Mouth vs. Dwarf vs. Azog 6,7,8 Dragons, Felagrog, Durlach, Demons What happens if three of the five dragons/balrogs/demons are killed? What happens? Nothing good. One or two things: 1-If a...

R021-Lairs of dead inhabitants loose their Lair status in terms of event effects. UPDATE 10-2016 This rule continues R011-Items playable at a dragon-lair turns after the dragon has been eliminated. For example, Scatha is killed. His creature MP is 5. This means that a Dragon-Lord can play Made His D...

I lost my hobbit; can someone explain to me the hoard points. Okay, I know the Dragon-Lords can play hero items, as a hero item the item is worth half the MPs. So when does the counting of hoard points start? Valiant Sword = 2 MP for heroes, and 1 MP for everyone else, but HP? And Necklace of Girion...

Thank you for the comments. Yes, this is odd having two avatars together. I needed another player in the north with so many anyway. With 32 players this does not need to happen. I decided to not make them Warlords since I can find direct influence elsewhere. I was thinking of adopting the RW/Barlog ...

R020-Begging to play an avatar [originally incorrectly numbered R019] UPDATE 09-2016 I like to modify the rule to fetch the avatar so to start on Turn 6. Ignore the part of untapping. The first test game had two avatars played on Turn 6 and four on Turn 5. Anything later than Turn 6 is brutal. Again...

This post is made instead of updating a few decks with minor changes. I want to see many if not all cool weapons in play. Smaug's deck is being made. He will play Thong of Fire just for the hoard points (i.e. store). Yes, that is boring. Throkmaw was going to play Thong of Fire. Now, Throkmaw will p...

Durlach has long been investigating the weakness of his prison. Alas, he has find a way. He has recruited a sorcerer to use magic in exchange for freedom for the balrog. Agog will move on the surface recruiting factions and playing a runeknife that is a bane to the Elves of Evermist's mission. Lugro...

Two demons of old have join forces in the Illuin Mountains. Their diabolical plans are to marshal denizens of the Northern Waste and Under-deeps for a push southwards to the forests of Taur Romen along the Inland Sea. Fankil will lead a company on the surface playing orcs, trolls, demon, and a drago...
