Lord of the Rings TCG - Basics of Building a Deck in Under 15 Minutes!

So you've found a pile of cards... How do you build a deck out of them? I tried to keep this one short! Featuring special guest Ben. Check out his RUclips channel: / @westmichigantransformers

Very cool! How often do you use 4 ofs in a deck? I can see ever using more than 2 of like an unique item in a deck.

Good distinction: non-unique cards will often get 4-ofs (especially in shadow sides: 4 of that minion, 4 of this one). But using 4 copies of a unique card is much rarer. A strategically reasonable example would be to include 4 copies of Gandalf (and further copies still of “A Wizard Is Never Late”) to get Gandalf very quickly without dealing with the minion-swarm risks of using him
as your starting companion. Another example: including 4 copies of Treebeard in an ent deck, because Treebeard is too expensive to include in the starting fellowship. “There and Back Again” is a cool unique card which you activate specifically by discarding it, so including 4 copies isn’t absurd. Stuff like that.

​@@WestMichiganTransformers True I usually go with four with cards like Double shot, Hides, Goblin Armory.. And two with unique like Sting, Gimlis Axe etc.. 😊
