![]() Minitrol assembled a Fellowship of Dwarves with a Mordor Orc Tracker shadow side designed to wear the Fellowship down for a potential late game win. Most decks fell in the third category with a bit of weighting to one particular side, though one of my more memorable decks was designed to discard two thirds of my Free Peoples cards in the first turn leaving me with a deck composed of 70% Shadow cards for an all-or-nothing Shadow win.įor our game I reconstructed the Mines of Moria starter decks. This ostensibly created three main deck archetypes: decks which ensured the Fellowship could race/survive to site 9 decks with a Shadow designed to kill or corrupt the Ring-bearer and decks which tried to do both. We have a Discord, there’s an updated wiki being built, we’ve got monthly events – it’s a great time to join us so I’d encourage you to log in, have a look, and (hopefully) join us for some games. It’s free, there is a spectate option on games and over the event weekend there will be streaming commentary on some games. We’ve selected Fellowship Block for the August event (comprising first three card sets released) which is the game in its most basic form – great for new players and for returning players getting back into the swing of things. Join us at the Player’s Council Discord ( ) where we will be streaming commentary on random games! See you all there! The event will formally begin at 7PM CST on August 28, and will run until 7PM CST on August 30 (from 00:00 UTC to 00:00 UTC). At the end whoever earns the most points wins! You will be able to play up to 10 league matches over the course of the event, earning points based on whether you win or lose. Once you’ve done that, get your Fellowship-block decks ready and then start playing League games once the event has begun! ![]() Register an account on Gemp ( ), then go to the League tab at the top and find the “Players Council Invitational: Fellowship Block Constructed” league, click “See Details” and then click the “Join league” button. The event will be ran entirely within Gemp. The Player’s Council would like to invite everybody to a virtual league starting on Friday, August 28 and running until Sunday, August 30. ![]() Players Council Invitational: Fellowship Block Constructed League I’d like to invite you all to come along and play some games. The Players Council have started doing monthly events and the August one is coming up this weekend (28 – 30 August). I was excited when I found Gemp a few years back and it’s great to seeing the thousands of games being played per month on there (over 8,600 last month). I love the deck building (your deck is 50% ‘good’/ free peoples and 50% ‘evil’/shadow), I love the mechanics (the cost of your ‘good’ cards dictates the resources your opponent has to play their ‘evil’ cards), I love the theme and feel of the game. LOTRTCG is still my favourite trading card game and it was one of the card games I made sure to play as part of my 52 in 2018. I’ve seen it happen before with other games and I’m excited about things to come. Other Decipher games have had established player-run committees for a while which are continuing the legacy of their respective games, and while LOTR has only recently seen movement in this area it’s great to be a part of a community which is on the brink of a resurgence.
