Agreed—the forums are kind of dead.

For the record, I don’t think we need more spoilers. We get plenty enough of those and FFG has an unfortunate habit of spoiling the best cards in there Adventure Packs before release (which, I guess, makes sense from a marketing standpoint but I like being surprised when I open my packs).

What I think we need more of is articles IN GENERAL. Way back in the day we used to get a lot of deck building articles, flavor articles, even just “feature” articles (like the “what kind of player are you” from way back in Mirkwood). Just something to get discussion moving. I would love more of that. Or even just community interaction stuff—“Hey guys, we’re having a Core set weekend. Revisit the first few quests and test yourself against the Nazgul one more time! Here’s a Youtube video of us running the first three quests in “campaign mode” and a list of the deck we used. Come join us, comment, or post your own games as video responses.”

I mean, I know the guys at FFG are busy but the longevity of their games could really be helped by a little more effort on the forums/website (after all, most of us don’t live close enough to go to one of their events).

Just my 2 cents, anyway.

And 2 cents well spent. Agreee 100% with you.

They need to give us more attention but not on articles giving inside of the packs;

yes i also agree here.

i agree we need more input from ffg….no surprise there though right?

but i also would love to see more tolkien directed articles…i mean thats what this is all about afterall….the lore. you can make articles on how to build decks, card spoilers, tournament rules, faqs and so on, but at the end of it, we are all here because of the amazing world tolkien created….and i think that is what keeps this game above the other lcgs (well i think that, i know some will disagree here haha)

The more I think about it, the more I begin to believe Visionary Leader will boost willpower.

This is what I thought immediatly as well: boosting another +1 ATK would be way too good because of Leadership Boromir, +1 DEF would make sense, but why would this be called "Visionary XXX", and finally +1 HP already exists and is for Dwarves. By elimination, there's only Willpower left.

Yes. I don't think it would or could do anything else. But if it is willpower, a Gondor deck built around that card plus a Rohan deck would be devastating during the quest phase, since Rohan's willpower is already amazing.

Yes, and mind Mutual Accord, now both Gondor and Rohan forces get the boost for a phase (plus they could use Astonishing Speed); however, quests are still not won just like that, but boosting willpower is certainly what Gondor needs; and I really can't wait for this cycle as I want to make more thematic dekcs, and Gondor is hardly an option right now…
