This LOTR Set’s Power Level Might Be Too Strong And here we are, back again. Almost through the list, and in this part, things get even more powerful.

The Power Level Of The LOTR Set Keeps Going Up Welcome back! We took a brief break for a topical movie review, but we still have tons of LOTR cards to explore. This multi-part article series has two more entries after this one, and we’ve not even gotten to some of the most powerful cards… Read More »
The LOTR Set Has Cards For Nearly All Archetypes I literally don’t have the time to build every Historic Brawl deck I would love to try. These new LOTR cards are a brewer’s paradise. In fact, there’s still so much to cover that I don’t want to linger with a long intro. You all know… Read More »
