Card Talk

We are excited to have Joseph Forster joining us.  He is one of the admins of the Facebook Group and has his own blog, Lord of the Rings Deck Tech.  He chose to surprise us with his pick of card.  Take a look and see what he picked!  

Surprise!

This card allows you to bring an ally into play, for the cost of 1 lore resource and an extra quest point on the active location. Is the juice worth the squeeze?

The Rivendell Blade is an attachment that doesn't boost your attack strength, like you'd think from a weapon, but rather lowers the enemies defense. That sure was an unexpected twist on an old dynamic! But do we like it? Do you?      

An Ent designed to defend and can buff his way to a very good defense statistic. One of us thinks he's pretty cool... the other hasn't really used him. Who do you agree with?

In this episode of Card Talk we dissect just about every part of the Hero, Sam Gamgee. His hobbit trait is awesome, his response is totally cool and he is an all around stud of a hobbit. Do you agree?

Thalin is another core set dwarf, just hanging out being pretty cool. Similar to Gloin, but not that similar. Well, kinda similar... ok, you let us know what you think!

Our first repeat. In this episode we take a closer look at the Baggins sphere hero, Bilbo Baggins. This card probably will rank better than the lore version of Bilbo, but you never know

That staple leadership card... or is it? Join us as we talk about the Steward of Gondor.

In this episode of Card Talk, we talk about everyone's second favorite captain of Gondor (even his father's!), Faramir. The leadership ally has a pretty awesome effect, but is that enough for us to give him just a few rings?

In this episode, we talk about the original armor from the core set. How do you get past the hill troll in Journey Down the Anduin without the Citadel Plate on Gimli? Tune in and see what we say...

In this episode, we look at Eowyn. The core spirit hero that is known for her questing ability, but can she do more? Guess we'll find out

We take on Gandalf, the ally from the core set. We both think this guy is a powerhouse, but is he overpowered? Take a look.

In this episode, we talk about the lowest threat hero in the game thus far, Glorfindel. We all see that he has huge upside potential, but are there any downsides? Watch and find out!   SHOW MORE        

In this episode of card talk, we take a closer look at a neutral attachment that can only be used on Dwarfs or Hobbits. It's our first non-hero card and we had a great time putting it together!

In this episode Grant and I discuss one of the most popular heroes in the game, Aragorn. Here we talk about the first version of of Aragorn released from the leadership sphere. Many of us in the game call him "Coragorn"

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at Gloin, the wise dwarf among the adventurers to Erebor.

In this video, we talk about Boromir, the warrior from Gondor. He spent his whole life fighting the forces of Mordor. No wonder he was first released as a tactics hero.

In this episode, we talk about the Lore Hero version of Bilbo. It seems that Grant and I pretty much agree on him and all that he is to the game. Not sure if that's good or bad!        

In this inaugural episode of Card Talk, Grant and I tackle one of the staples of Lord of the Rings canon, Frodo Baggins. This spirit hero is a great card all around, garnering 3 rings from me and 4 rings from Grant.
