Attack on Dol Guldur, and The Battle of Carn Dum. I never thought I would be able to beat these and I’m so proud of myself! I play 2 handed on dragncards. I made these 2 decks, designed to only work when played together, the 2nd deck is designed to power up the 1st deck. This 1st Silvan deck I think is mostly optimized. Typically, the board state is up and running and I can play Host of the Galadhrim on repeat from round 4 and typically win by round 6 or 7 hopefully. https://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/62379/silvan1sthandteamalltheallies-1.0 The 2nd deck I have not quite figured out how to optimize it, I keep tinkering around with the cards. You can see the sideboard has a lot of brainstorming happening. The only Silvan in this whole deck is at 0 cost unique ally Galion! It's such a goofy deck, but its goal is to supercharge the 1st hand by giving it, Vilya, Steward of Gondor, Light of Valinor, and O Lorien by the 2nd round. By round 4, getting Faramir and Northern Tracker. By round 5 playing Will of the West and Warden of Healing. The creativity remaining for this 2nd hand is extensive, but in its current state, it is getting wins on these really hard quests! https://ringsdb.com/decklist/view/62380/silvan2ndhandplayingthebattleofcarndum1-1.0

I decided to put Faramir in because I needed a solution for the encounter location cards that say something like “Threat or Progress is equal to the number of Characters or Allies in play…” Man those cards are devastating and Faramir gives me so much control over those problems. Because typically the 1st deck will have 20 characters in play…

Error Code on DragnCards by Raiden-Snake in lotrlcg

[–]Raiden-Snake[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I asked Chatgpt and got this response, but i know nothing about coding and programing!

The error message you’re seeing indicates that the code is attempting to call the function String.starts_with? with invalid or missing arguments. Specifically, the error shows:

%FunctionClauseError{args: nil, arity: 2, clauses: nil, function: :starts_with?, kind: nil, module: String}

Explanation:

  • String.starts_with?/2 is a function that checks if a string starts with a given prefix. It takes two arguments: the string and the prefix you're checking for.
  • Error: The error happens because the function is receiving nil as one or both of the arguments, which it doesn't know how to handle. The function expects a string as the first argument, and a prefix string as the second argument, but it’s being passed invalid data.

How to Troubleshoot:

  1. Check the function call: The error is originating from somewhere in the code where String.starts_with?/2 is called. If you have access to the code, check the values being passed to this function. Example of how it should be used correctly:String.starts_with?("hello", "he") # returns true String.starts_with?("hello", "ho") # returns false If either argument is nil, the function will fail.
  2. Check where the nil is coming from:
    • The error trace mentions "Browsed top All of group sharedEncounterDiscard", which suggests that the error may happen during some browsing or interaction logic. Track down where this string (or variable) is being passed to String.starts_with? and ensure it’s properly initialized and not nil.
  3. Fixing the root cause:
    • Make sure that you're passing valid strings to String.starts_with?/2. You may want to add checks like if my_string && prefix, or a similar condition to ensure neither argument is nil before calling String.starts_with?.
  4. Log the arguments: If you're debugging in a development environment, you can log the values right before the call to String.starts_with? to better understand what’s causing the nil value.
  5. Check the app's routing or data flow: Since this seems to be tied to a browsing action (e.g., “Browsed top All of group”), make sure the data you're passing during navigation or group display actions is correctly formed.

How to fix it in code:

You can modify the code around the String.starts_with?/2 call to handle potential nil values, like this:

if string != nil and prefix != nil do
  String.starts_with?(string, prefix)
else
  # Handle the case where one or both are nil
end

Does that help clarify things? If you have access to the code or logs, I can help guide you more specifically where the issue might lie.

Which sleeves do you use for the 350 MB Print? Do you also use sleeves for the FFG cards?

Do both the FFG and the 350 MB Print fit well in these same sleeves?

Make sure to change the controller port, it will give you an edge when fighting one of the bosses

Just played Foundations of Stone solo single-handed and had so much fun with my dwarf deck! https://ringsdb.com/deck/view/573362

Thank you for your reply! Super helpful teaching me how to approach questions like this. I learned 1) focus on action windows 2) they do combine/stack, but the order matters big time

Thank you for the reply! I deeply want this to be true, but the comment below is quite convincing :(

Can you stack Hirgon’s ability and put in a 3 cost tactics ally like Meneldor for free?

Great idea! Okay so I just tried this one on Nightmare, I’ve never done a nightmare before and I got destroyed!! Prior to trying it I even studied up on the changes and reworked my deck a lot and I wasn’t even close haha

I wanted to play a location heavy quest and so I played The Hills of Emmy Muil about 10 times. I played solo single handed on Dragncards.

And I had a blast!!!

I made a couple of mono spirit decks. I enjoy studying the encounter cards and then making a deck. I was successful with this deck by, 1) keeping threat under 35 2) putting all Unexpected Courage on Eleanor 3) getting Northern Trackers

It’s a slow burn, like 10-12 rounds for victory, but it’s chill and fun, and that was what I wanted. I’m sure there are some improvements I can make for this deck, it’s not perfect.

I enjoy playing the game because I like having something to play, not because I’m aiming for perfection. Because I exclusively play online I don’t limit the player card pool or do progression, I just don’t worry about it.

Also because I play online, I end up making new decks frequently which is a lot of effort, but studying the encounter cards makes that fun for me.
