Wonder if we ever see a Hero with less than 7 threat who combos perfectly with Elronds Council?

already exists.. it is called "Life's a Stage" it is a ziggy deck using Dunhere. You use will of the west and tombs to cycle your deck and sift it though ziggys combo. It works very well in solo, i think it was designed for that. and co-op… worth trying out.

Where could one find a listing of this deck? Sounds intriguing…

Yeah, I agree with you benhanses. I am excited for the Hobbit Saga Expansion and the 5 new heroes. I'm really hoping for some more dwarf heroes and synergy cards and of course, hobbits…maybe Beorn (?). I really think the Glorfindel's new card is really awesome but yeah, I was really hoping for an all new hero. Oh well, FFG will still be getting my money because I love this game.

Spindel sounds as ugly as shooting your own father.

Lol this. Sounds like some sort of spider or something and I didn't even know what people were talking about at first.

Loragorn fits too perfectly that's why that nickname stuck. This one just sounds… forced.

Unless someone comes up with something equally as perfect that everyone clearly understands right off the bat, it'll probably just be Blue Glorf and Green Glorf for me.

This seems obvious to me. The old green Glorfindel is Lorgindel (LORE-findel) while the new blue Glorfindel is Sporfindel (SPORE-findel)???

Alright SPOREfindel is pushing it but LOREfindel totally works.

I feel Beorn should be coming in the Hobbit. Well, it would be another duplicate but with the Hobbit it is kind of bound to have some. And Bilbo isn't really as he'd be only used for that expansion. If we're not going to get say Rohan or Gondor heroes for the Hobbit saga (which I doubt), there aren't that many to choose from the story. And Beorn could be a hero for a change. I am really excited to see 5 heroes in each (presumably) box.

They found some pics from the new hobbit big box expansion on a french site.

Do you have the address of the site?

The thread with the link can be found on bgg, little lower but only published last week, the title has to do with "New Hobbit Cards," I believe.

You can look at the new Gandalf here: javascript:void(0);/*1339604999379*/

the card says:

Gandalf does not exhaust to commit to a quest.

Forced: At the end of the refresh phase, discard Gandalf. You can add 2 to your threat to cancel this effect. (and keep Gandalf)

I didn't know that he doesn't tap to quest. Very nice.

I 'm considering a Glorfindel / Loragorn deck with the former as quester / attacker and the latter as defender with Burning Brand and aided by Arwen. Glorfindel and Gandalf will quest and kill like there is no tomorrow and Aragorn will hold ground, plus will use his awesome ability when threat starts to raise at alarming levels. Will have to wait till I see it in action, but, on paper, looks invincible.

My concern is how I shall fit all the lovely cards into such a deck. Both new versions of Aragorn and Glorfindel tend to combo like crazy. But they really seem to fit well together - and with the new Gandalf too. Some say nay but I say aye.
