Hi there…

I'm addicted to making YouTube vids.. and have been making them for LoTR-LCG recently.. so thought I would post them here as well as on BBG. Warning these ALL have spoilers.

The problem is that FFG forums are really terrible and one of the MANY things it can not do is allows you to edit posts for adding new information… (one of the reason there are no good FAQ threads for example) So as I make more vids you will have to find them in the thread for I will not be able to edit the post and add them to this top thread.

Hope you like them!!

Burning Brand has to go to a LORE character. So Grimbeorn is not a valid target for it. 

Nice videos by the way.

cool vids.. but full of errors.. you should probably learn to play b4 you post them?

yea, there are a few errors here and there. These are just initial card evaluations made on the time i open the boxes.. so they sneak though :) and no onw is perfect.. least of all me!! I think that  error is not remembering that songs can only be played on heroes. I had a full Mirkwoood cycle deck that used the lore song on a eagle and then burning brand as a major function... I was so crushed when i found  out i was doing it wrong!!

 Hi Tragic, I'm waiting for your initial evaluation on Khazad-dum. 

Thank you for the videos. I like them a lot :)

I got my order from lotus vaults in ... so I should be getting it soon.. maybe a week or 2...  

Hey guys… now that the Mirkwood Cycle is out in LackeyCCG here is a Deck Construction video that I gets mailed on YouTube for all the time! Have fun… More to come…

 The Dog, The Leash and the Master (3 Player Deck)

YouTube PlayList 

1) Introduction and Hero talk.
2) The Dog
3) The Leash
4) The Master
5) Conclusions

This deck is designed as if all players own their own copy of core and between them they all own the entire Mirkwood Cycle. It is designed to beat the Mirkwood Cycle and is a modification of my 3 man group's deck witch we used to 1 shot the entire cycle recently.

have fun!!

I enjoy the videos a lot. It is cool that you take the time and effort to do this. (my you tube name is dungeon666, you might have seen some of my comments) Keep making these videos.

Hey tragic, just watched the new deck building guides. Thanks for spending the time and effort to do these, i realise even more now about taking plenty of time to construct decks. The combos you highlight will definately help me improve my gaming. Cheers mate and any more solo you tube vids would be appreciated.

Anyway, here is my initial card evaluations and thoughts as I open the 3rd pack in the Darrowdelf Cycle!

I have tried a new way of doing this with out all the editing work.. so it takes about 1/10th of the time to make the video.. let me know what you think!

Hope you like it!!

Good stuff, Tragic! I think the new format works fine. Obviously, having the card images pop up would be ideal, but you should still be able to convey all of the relevant information/give a taste of the artwork without spending all those hours in post-production. 

As for the content in this latest video, I'm inclined to agree with most of your individual card evaluations. Arwen is every bit as good as she seems, Legacy of Durin is indispensable in a Dwarf deck, and the new Aragorn enables some really amusing threat reduction shenanigans (especially in a two-player game with Song of Earendil and Wandering Took). Wrapped! is a nicely flavorful treachery, while Doors of Durin recreates the idea of trying out password after password in order to enter Moria. All in all, a very solid AP.

oh hey.. I didn't think of that.. the card effect is basically a way to visualize "code breaking" in the game as they try to work out how to open the door.. That is really cool.. I just couldn't work out wtf they thinking with that manic .. it seamed so random.. but after you explaining it it makes total sense now.

Here is my 2nd deck building video. I have been trying to make my videos shorter so I hope that this one is a little faster and more interesting :)

Have fun!

[4] The Long Dark - Unboxing and Initial Card Evaluation

Well this is the last pack for a while .. until I get my next shipment.. I will most likely be not ordering it until the entire cycle is finished and 2 or 3 coc packs are out as well.

Anyway… this is a very good pack with some real power player cards and what looks like a really good quest… very excited about this one.

The Redhorn Gate (Solo - Tactics + Spirit (Lore/Leader Splash)

Been fooling about with Hama while I wait for the "real" deck building to start after Darrowdelf is completed. I rarely play Tactics or Solo so this was a bit of a experiment for me. . I think it came out really well.. despite a few missplays as pointed out by the friendly rules hawk Matthias Maccabeus.. thanks for that! 

I enjoyed this deck and the combo is powerful and satisfying… but I have already dumped this deck list as I have heavily modified it so I am not going to post it.. instead I think I will just post a new quest running it! I think I will do a solo game this time.

Return to Rivendale (Tactics+Spirit - "Kill to Quest")

Well here is the next quest.. Road to Rivendale.. I have modified the deck pretty heavy and said. screw it and fully committed to the eagle draw engine for deck thinning… This deck is basically a kill to quest system were Blade of Gondilin and Lego place progress tokens. So that is teh name of it.. "Kill to Quest"

This is a pretty fun deck and I feel it is worht having a look at… though I am not sure if it will work vs a huge variety of quests. So far it can crush Darowdelf.. and I am about to take on the watcher next!!!

Have fun and stay classy middle earth!
