Frodo Baggins - 5

Frodo Baggins - 5

Big update.

I've locked in some more heroes and raised the minimum bid on some unbid-for heroes.

I've posted a second chart showing what heroes each player has locked in. If you have all your heroes locked in, start building your deck, and post a link so I can add it to the chart. The quests have already been chosen, so I won't be picking them to counter the decks you build or anything. The quests I've chosen are ones that don't involve heavily tailored decks (i.e. no Masters Malice, no Sailing/Hide tests, no battle/siege, no captives, etc.).

For those that still need heroes, I realize that there are not enough remaining to go around. But I am reluctant to add more given that there are still unbid-for heroes in the pool. I don't want to flood the pool with heroes that can be picked up without much competition, because I think it would be unfair to the other players. So from this point on, if I do release any new heroes, the minimum bid will be set so the best discount you'll be able to get is -1, and of course, you don't know which heroes I'll add. So it is probably in your best interest to get a bargain on the heroes still remaining.

I've locked in my heroes, but it is not reflected there. (I figure you just ran out of time, so here you go)(can't find the table, but I made this up in Excel of course so it won't copy over 100%, but the data is accurate)

In relation to decks: I have some thoughts and have essentially created them on rings.db, but I'm not 100% on either of them at this point. Is it OK to submit rough drafts? I assume once we hit the ground running we'll still have the options to swap stuff out of a sideboard or something, right? Or are we stuck with exactly what we provide to you as a deck list?

Thanks for all the organization for this!

Thanks, fixed.

The question about sideboards is a good one. I don't think you need one, since the quests don't demand one, but I will allow each deck to have up to 6 cards (counting multiples) in its sideboard. But outside of that, if you want to make changes, I'm not going to be a huge stickler about it, just that you do need to play all three quests with the same deck+sideboard, so no deck overhauls can be made between decks.

It is not the most innovative deck and may look familiar to our auctioneer, as you can see in the deck's description, but it was my plan once I got Elrond, plus I usually used him with Gandalf when playing solo, so I thought it is a good time to just focus on one of them. In addition I find it somewhat thematic, that two Hobbits get the support of Elrond, who summons some of the greatest heroes of their time for their cause.

Here's my deck!

I hope you're going to do another one of these! It appears I'm too late for this one, but next one I'll definitely jump in.

Thanks, I've posted links in the chart. Still waiting on many other players!

I built my deck, but accidentally deleted it.

Interesting that nobody bid on Lore Aragorn, or was he just not an option?

He was added pretty late in the game. There are still people that could pick him up though.

Here is our fellowship. Nothing particularly clever about it, just good cards at low threat.

My deck has 51 cards and I have no idea what to take out :X

Aren't only 6 Cards allowed in the sideboard? I don't think it really matters, just saying^^

I always thought it was 15 ¿?

Actually I never use the sideboard anyways so it shouldn't matter. It's just cards I may use to tune the deck a little bit in the future if needed, but I never switch cards for specific quests

Funny, exactly what I do with the Sideboard 3 Elrond's Counsils enough to Keep threat in check? Better put double greetings in the Sideboard.

This is the first draft. I might sideboard some cheap allies or healing, to hand archery type situations

I can't view your deck @JusticeLizard. I think you need to enable deck sharing (can't remember exactly what it's called) in your settings.

For this specific challenge, Seastan wanted to restrict to 6. Normally a sideboard can be whatever you want, but 15 is a good number to cover most bases.

Sorry about that. This is my first time using ringsdb. I used cardgamedb a couple times just for saga recording purposes, but usually I just build my decks physically.
