One Card to Rule Them All (August 2012 Card Poll)
Published on 19 August 2012 - 05:45:29

Given the last adventure pack has now been released for the Darrowdelf Cycle I think it's time for a follow-up card poll to the one I ran in March.

The voting will be open until Friday, August 31.  All cards in the Core, Shadows of Mirkwood Cycle, Khazad-dum and Darrowdelf Cycle are included in the pool to choose from (Hobbit is excluded).


I'll compile and publish the results after voting ends, and include a comparison to the results of the last poll. Feel free to respond to as many of the categories as you like. One set of votes per forum participant. Only one card per category. I know some cards only work really well in combination with certain others, but no combos included please.  It will be interesting to see how the results differ from the last poll.

1. Most Powerful Player Card - Leadership Sphere (excluding Heroes)
2. Most Powerful Player Card - Spirit Sphere (excluding Heroes)
3. Most Powerful Player Card - Lore Sphere (excluding Heroes)
4. Most Powerful Player Card - Tactics Sphere (excluding Heroes)
5. Most Powerful Player Card - All Spheres (excluding Gandalf)

I am a little confused. Wouldn't it make sense to now include all cards from the - now completed - Dwarrowelf Cycle, not just Redhorn Gate? If I had to guess, I would say, you maybe copied that sentence out of that old thread? 

"A red sun rises, blood has been spilled this night."

Most Powerful Card (Spirit)-Test of Will (auto-include in any Spirit deck)

Most Powerful Card (Tactics)-Feint

Most Powerful Card (all spheres)- Steward of Gondor

Most Thematic Card-Keeping Count

Favorite Hero-Glorfindel(FoS)

Nastiest Encounter-Sudden Pitfall(edged out Sleeping Sentry, only because Sudden Pitfall can't be cancelled)

Whoops, cut and paste error.  Updated original post to make clear all cards in Darrowdelf are included.
