This cycle make me happy with every pack review! First pack wargs ans stuff looks so cool and next one with a capture mechanic looks also amazing! Really cool time for lotr now!

About a hero…. We need Noldor! Maybe Cirdan?

Yes, both quests look interesting.

Círdan would be cool. But I think he will be the Spirit hero in the last one: save the best for the end, I think. Arwen hero is also a possibility, but I would really prefer Gildor Inglorion.

I read Treebeard in prison? Ok, that would be interesting.

If playing a Silvan deck, who would you choose a your starting hero? Celeborn has great stats and access to O Lórien, but Haldir is also very good since he can attack the staging area. It is actuallty a pretty tough choice, but I think I'd go with Celeborn.

Celeborn is a no-brainer, he works with the Silvan allies, while Haldir doesn't.

You put your 2nd hero on top of your 'captured' deck right? Which means you'll see that guy come out pretty quickly. With that in mind I would choose Haldir, as Celeborn will have no power until I get some of my captured guys out. Then make the rest of your deck to make it very likely that you'll pull Wingfoot on turn 1, which you can play thanks to the extra resources, and you've got action advantage right out of the gate.

"Old Bullroarer Took may have invented golf when he struck down Golfimbul, but Escape from Mount Gram is certainly no stroll across the greens."

I'm not that old. Just sayin'.

Why not have both? But if only one, then indeed Celeborn is a must -- with Galadriel, of course.

I was referring to the one hero you get to start with in this quest.

Oh, I thought it would otherwise be a pretty random question. Sorry.

A hint for Bullroarer Took hero perhaps?

He is long dead during the time this game takes place.

He is long dead during the time this game takes place.

Really? You're talking about stuff like this in the game that features both Bard the Bowman and Brand Son of Bain as heroes?

Bard was released in a Hobbit box. At the time of The Hobbit, he was alive. Same goes for Thorin, Fili, Kili, and hero Beorn (no idea about ally Beorn). Bullroarer Took was dead long before The Hobbit.

That's not the point. The point is there is no strict time frame for this game, where a man can meet his unborn fully grown grandson.

Except there is - or if you want to be pedantic, there are two. All the quests take place either during The Hobbit or during Lord of the Rings. Nothing outside those time frames has yet appeared in the game and we have no reason to believe any such thing ever will appear in the game.

That's a good point, and there are other examples of characters being present at seemingly impossible times, but I think many of the characters who should be cronologically dead are from Saga Expansions, and the adventure packs and deluxe expansions take place only pull characters who were alive during the 17 year period after Bilbo's 111th birthday party.

I agree. The Hobbit sagas should be considered an exception in this case. We're not going to see out of time frame characters during the cycles I think.

...as we have no reason to believe they won't. It's all speculation.

The game takes place during a certain period... we are not going to get characters from outside that period UNLESS an expansion takes place during another time period (like the hobbit boxes).

First age or second age one day would be fantastic.
