Run time: 30:17, Watch the Video, Play with Error Most Valuable Card: Oh, Sam. When will it be your day? Not this day. While he was great defending and attacking back while equipped with Sting, I think the better option here is Fellowship of the Ring. I already chose the Redbook of Westmarch, and while…

The Fortress of Nurn 3 – May 8, 2022
I’m giving RedSpiderr’s Dunedain deck one more shot. Once again I did Thurindir’s setup before scenario set up. If I have questing trouble again, it might be time to convert to a Bond of Friendship deck.… Continue reading The Fortress of Nurn 3 – May 8, 2022

Run Time: 39:01. Watch the video. Most Valuable Card: It’s getting much harder to *not* pick Sam as the most valuable card, but I still feel strongly about spreading the love around and it seems that in this play, Thorongil really showed its value. Yes, Sam was towered up and was able to defend a…

The Fortress of Nurn 2 – May 8, 2022
I’m back with another attempt at the Vengeance of Mordor climax! This time instead of taking mulligans until I have Celebrimbor’s Stone, I did Thurindir’s setup before scenario set up. I wanted to see if at least getting Keep Watch makes a big difference.… Continue reading The Fortress of Nurn 2 – May 8, 2022

Run Time: 26:47, Watch the Video Most Valuable Card: This is the shortest play to date, both by time and by rounds. At just under 27 minutes and at four rounds, the race to the Ford of Bruinen seemed so easy. Trust me, behind the scenes, I played this scenario a few times where I…

Into Ithilien with Mono-Tactics- May 5, 2019
I haven’t attempted Fortress of Nurn yet again. I promise another attempt is coming. Until then here’s another older playthrough. Mono-Spirit got crushed pretty handily in my last 2 games. I decided to give Mono-Tactics a shot at this quest and see if it would do better. … Continue reading Into Ithilien with Mono-Tactics- May 5, 2019

Run Time: 45:25. Watch the Video Most Valuable Card: I feel like this scenario was a real “share the load” sort of scenario. Many cards in play contributed to the win. Gaffer canceled a few attacks, Treebeard helps kill the Witch-king. rosie boosted a few different Hobbits. All of that said, I think I was…

Into Ithilien with Mono-Spirit – April 13, 2019
After Mono-Spirit did so well with Peril in Pelargir, I jumped right into the next quest. I was about to find out why people rate this quest so high in difficulty.… Continue reading Into Ithilien with Mono-Spirit – April 13, 2019

Peril in Pelargir with Mono-Spirit – April 13, 2019
I knew I wanted to use a mono-sphere deck, but I wasn’t sure if I wanted to use Mono-Tactics or Mono-Spirit. I started with Mono-Tactics because I liked the idea of Mono-Tactics more. I suspected, however, that Mono-Spirit would be more successful. I decided I would play both against the first couple of scenarios to see which is really better.
