Stop all this Elrond nonsense. Beregond requires your votes or he will stop Sentinel-ing for you!

I think its time for Bere- GONE! (though I'm sure he's a lovely chap and all)

I love how everyone is cheering for everyone else to vote a certain way after 95+% of the votes are already in. And they aren't really giving any good reasons either. So amusing...

Vote Frodo! He's the bestest!

joezim, vote for Beregond RIGHT NOW. DO IT!

Hahaha, I wonder if there will be any ties before this round is over? Only if a couple more people vote which I don't think will happen.. all my votes should be the victors! Yes! I bet Galadriel will be #1

AV: Frodo - don't like the horsemen...

AW: Beregond - saves my a** a lot of times

AX: Galadriel - Gandalf ally is much more flexibel in several decktypes

AY: Aragon - keycard in so many of my decks

Hope I'm not late to this party,

AV: Eowyn - pulls her weight and then some in the new quests, still the best quester

AW: Beregond - no doubt Elrond is stellar, but I've always been fond of the character in the books, and this iteration is certainly no pushover

AX: Galadriel - more versatility and much easier to just throw into a deck (plus who wants to be labelled "gandalf guy" and banished from their play group! Galadriel players need not worry!)

AY: Celeborn - makes an entire deck archetype sing, can quest, has a great defence value (for a silvan), and how can you discount that art? Great hero

AY: Celeborn - makes an entire deck archetype sing, can quest, has a great defence value (for a silvan), and how can you discount that art? Great hero

You can easily discount that (admittedly excellent) art by looking at lore Aragorn's art, and noticing how awesome it is. If we were going by art alone, I think Aragorn would have this locked up.

It turns out, after a relentless double-check of the vote totals, that there is a tie between Elrond and Beregond at 24 votes apiece.

In this highly unscientific poll... the tie shall be broken by the first person to cast a vote (either to Elrond or Beregond) on this forum.

nvm

Elrond

nvm

Noccus... you have the opportunity to be the tie-breaking vote

Did you check for people casting multiple votes? I know I saw at least one person vote twice (I assume by accident).

Haha! I noticed the second after posting that!

So i did!

Some will love me, some will hate me. Oh well.

Yes, in both this round and the last there were people that voted twice. (It was danpoage this round and judging by his demeanor on his blog and podcast, I'd wager quite a bit that it was a accident)

In both cases, I ignored the second vote.

And we have our Final Four!

vs

Voting ends at noon CST on Friday December 26

I vote for the Ladies of Middle Earth

AZ: Eowyn

BA: Galadriel

Then I'll vote for the boys.

AZ - Elrond

BA - Aragorn

Also, Lore is my thing

I have a hunch Galadriel will win this year tho...

And I vote for mighty lord of the elves and king of Gondor

AZ: Elrond

BA: Aragorn

I vote for Eowyn!

Ugh, Beregond out, I'm going to go sulk in the corner...

Sheesh. So many themes you could go for: Men vs Women, Lore vs Spirit, Humans vs Elves, Low threat vs High Threat, Magali vs other artists, 4 willpower vs lower willpower... did I miss any? They're all technically royalty.

I think I'll go with the Magali Elves: Elrond and Galadriel. I don't like voting against any of these heroes, or even voting against pretty much any of the heroes from the last round, but you gotta do what you gotta do.
