Would have been funny to see Kili face off against Fili

No worries, PsychoRocka. Just go ahead and award Gamling the Honorable Mention trophy for archetype-building. He is amazing in the latest incarnation of the Rohan "leaves play" deck.

Would have been funny to see Kili face off against Fili

Hah!

Not a bad matchup there, though. I tend to use Fili more, since between using Dain and Leadership's usual resource generation, I find it easier to field the 3 cost for him quickly. But arguably maybe Kili is more valuable *because* he gets you two-for-one in a less resource-rich sphere? Dunno.

You could always lump Fili and Kili together and then have Gamling replace Fili on AD.

+1 on Ecthelion

Since Fili&Kili are more like 1 card divided into 2, I would agree with Ecthelion. Plus, I really like Gamling. I'll reserve my vote until we get him in here.

A- Eomund - As much as I love Forlong the Fat, I just never can get his ability to work.

B- Gwaihir! - I don't really like Elfhelm... And against the lord of the Eagles??? No brainer.

C- Farmer Maggot - Very tough decision, as Rumil is one of my favorites. But I rarely play either, unfortunately. So Farmer it is!

D- Brok Ironfist - Can't betray our roots. This Ingold.... He's too new. I'm suspicious of him...

E- Arwen - Sorry Damrod, but you got your own hero, and Arwen doesn't yet. And Arwen's just better anyway.

F- Bifur - Very awesome in Dwarf decks. Sorry Guthlaf. We had some good laughs.

G- Anborn (Le) - I do like Hama, but sometimes I find his ability useless.

H- Gloin - I really like Dwarves.

I- Bofur - Sorry Kili and Fili...

J- Treebeard - Ents vs. Rangers. Ents will always win.

K- Faramir - I'm voting against Wizards... Mostly.

L- Quickbeam - Ents always win.

M- Legolas - No contest. I do like Erestor... But not as much as I like being rewarded for slaughtering orcs.

N- Boromir - Tough decision. I had to betray the Eagles on this one.

O- Dwalin - Anborn is already got my vote.

P- Skinbark - Ents always win.

Q- BILL THE PONY - No explanation necessary.

R- Gildor -I'll give him my vote. But I'm rooting for Landroval, so whichever one is fine with me!

Good job doing this. This was a fun aspect of last year, I hope we'll get to see another hero one soon.

A - Eomund - his special ability is a game saver

B - Gwaihir - I don't like both of them, but Elfhelm is a bit more useless

C - Rumil - has 2 WP and is tactics

D - Ingold - never played with him, but I bet he doesn't suck as much as Brok

E - Arwen - no surprise here

F - Guthlaf - is in most of my tactics decks, a solid and cheap character who can help with WP and DEF

G - Hama - haven't played with Anborn yet

H - Gloin - there are enough (an better) ways to increase your card draw, which makes Gleowine less valuable

I - Bofur - I like his ability a lot!

J - Treebeard - he is so good that I never played the hero version

K - Faramir - this guy doesn't raise your threat while being awesome

L - Quickbeam - cheap way to get some WP or attack

M -Legolas - didn't like him at the beginning, but his ability and attachments are just great

N - Radagast - Boromir is great, but a bit too expensive for my taste

O - Dwalin - Anborn can be great, but the fact that you have to exhaust him is a downer

P - Emery - because there a re aleady better (Booming) Ents out there

Q - Bombur Bill the Pony - again: 2 WP and tactics = awesome combo! cause I love Sam?

R - Gildor - he is great; Gandalf is Gandalf is Gandalf and shouldn't be in this competition

lepkout, Bombur is not tactics Bofur

lepkout, Bombur is not tactics Bofur

Should have read The Hobbit more than once to call all these dwarfs apart...

In that case...

the pony wins!

Love these tournaments. My picks:

A - Eomund - Forlong is good for Outlands decks, but I don't play Outlands much and Rohan is on the rise.

B - Gwaihir - Honestly, neither one gets to the table much, but I like how Gwaihir fits into the Eagle deck.

C - Farmer Maggot - Rumil is probably objectively better, but my sentimental vote is for Farmer Maggot.

D - Ingold - Do I need to say why?

E - Arwen - No-brainer.

F - Bifur - Tough one. Guthlaf is a good utility piece while Bifur is amazing, but the Dwarf deck already has an embarrassment of riches. I'll give the nod to pure power.

G - Hama - I'm a sucker for a good defensive piece.

H - Gleowine - Card draw that can fit into any deck wins vs. resource generation for a single trait.

I - Kili/Fili - Bofur can be good, and I don't use Kili/Fili as much these days, but they can lead to a big swing.

J - Treebeard - He's just so good when he hits the table.

K - Faramir - Tough one as OHaUH Gandalf can win a game by himself, but Faramir is just a pure staple.

L - Quickbeam - One of the best allies in the game in terms of stats for the cost.

M - Legolas - What a huge battle. 4-cost Elves that bring card draw to their spheres. Ultimately, the ranged keyword tips the scales for me.

N - Boromir - No contest.

O - Anborn - Sentimental choice to give trap decks some love and will be much better with Leadership Faramir hero.

P - Emery - Skinbark is great, don't get me wrong, but I've used Emery a ton and a free ally with decent stats is huge.

Q - Bill the Pony - Bill for the win!

R - Gandalf - Tough one, but Gandalf just has so much utility, even if I don't use him as much anymore.
