The Middle-earth Hero Auction!

By Seastan, in The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game

Updated.

Heroes that fail to receive a bid in the three days starting at the end of the day today (11:59 EST) and ending Feb 18 (11:59pm EST) will be considered to be won by the current bidder.

Bidding on the contested heroes will continue on afterward. This is just intended to focus down the list and aid those who have won heroes in planning out their other bids. So if you want to lock in a hero, make a strong bid before this day ends!

Amarthiul - 12

Aragorn (Le) - 10

Idraen - 12

Mardi provides the needed tactics symbol and Aragorn could potentially get it via Roheryn if I go this road. ;) But first I have to get that hero lineup which seems difficult to pull of but we will see. :)

Ah, right. I forget Marty gave it with 1 engaged enemy. I thought it was with 2, but that's the additional resource, right?

A lot of the new bids between your last update and this update aren't shown in the table.

Edit: Also, are we going to have the final heroes revealed before heroes are solidified on Feb 18 11:59 PM?

Thanks for catching that. I posted an old version of the chart by mistake.

I can't guarantee that no one will jump into the contest later on, but yes the full hero list will be available. Though I might make the minimum bid more strict later in the game.

I have posted the full set of heroes - there should be just enough for everyone to get the right amount.

I will bid 5 for Lore Pippin

Allow me to point out what Seastan said in the opening post:

"3. Then you make a post where you bid for 3 of the heroes**, by stating how much of a threat cost you are willing to pay to use that hero. This would override their actual starting threat when you use them to play. For example, I might make a post like this:

...

** If you wish to enter the contest as a two-handed player, you may make 6 bids."

Seastan can feel free to contradict me, but I don't think you're allowed to bid on more heroes than you intend to use.

Is it OK to decide to run 2-handed solo at this point? I've never done it, and this could be a good chance to try it out and see how it rolls. It pains me to see so many Dwarves unloved.

Arwen - 9

Ori - 4 (in case Veve7 outbids me on Merry (S) I am nor sure for which heroes he wishes to bid as he said he wants to Play 1 handed^^)
