The juicebox LOTR LCG Solo Player Tournament (#2) [December 4-10, 2011] [COMPLETED]

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

I tried some games with my lore fellowship. I manged to improve my result a tiny bit.

Heroes: Glorfindel, Denethor, Bilbo

Result: 73

rounds: 40 points

threat: 33 points

damage: zero

stage 3B: Beorn's Path

Fortunatly I used Denethor's ability in my first turn to deflect Ungoliant's Spawn. In used Denethor as a defender and the rest of the fellwoship for questing. Bilbo got caught in a net, but was freed by an Iron Hill Miner one round later. Henamart travelled with my group right from the beginning of the passage, Gandalf had an appearance in round 2, Mapmaker joined them in round 4. It took me two turns to complete stage 1B. one turn for stage 2B and turns for stage 3B. Of course I had Protector of Lorien (played round 3) to help me. In the end it was a close rund and I had to sacrifice every card and every resource to complete 3B (Protector + Mapmaker + Radagast's Cunning + Secret Paths).

I think I should get special mention for using something OTHER than Leadership and Spirit!

I agree that especially for this quest and deck restrictions it would be interesting to see a top (3?) list for each sphere.

I like this idea. happy.gif Consider it in the works. Since the top three for both Leadership and Spirit are currently in the Top Ten overall, my plan at this point will be to create an Honorable Mention category for this week in the main post to show off the top three results for both Tactics and Lore. As it stands currently, the entire Top Ten is either Leadership or Spirit with the exception of leptokurt's Lore result. Interestingly, muemakan's Lore result is also Top Ten worthy and would be included, were it not for his ridiculously excellent tie with Bungo_Underhill for top of the pile.

Nice job everyone. You're all heroes in my book.

Just 10+ hours remain,

Hi,

Because we have two different options for the third stage of the quest, it would also be interesting (not for this week's tournament but for the next time playing this quest) to have a final score for each optional 3B stage.

Player's will add the score for "Beorn's Path" to the score for "Don't leave the Path" and share their result (with details of each game of course).

This challenge will be not for single sphere deck (because in this case we will have a top ten Leadership decks) but for constructed decks.

Congrats to EVERYONE who participated in this week’s Solo Player Tournament!

It was a pleasure hosting and a delight to see all the various experimentation with monosphere decks and fascinating display of theoretical prowess. You’ve all been brilliant. In the end, while Leadership and Spirit spheres proved overwhelmingly triumphant in blitzing this particular quest, do check out the Honorable Mention section after this week’s Top Ten to highlight the accomplishments of those who had success with Tactics and Lore. Nicely done, everybody!

And be sure to check out the updated Top Ten Hall of Fame thread.

The plot. It thickens. happy.gif

No solo tournament this week?
