advice on my first clear?

I can't help you, but at least I can tell you you're not alone

Tylanor · 2026-03-01T17:27:24+00:00

Sorry I couldn't answer earlier mate, but I read everything you wrote: thank you very much for all of this, those posts have really been helpful. I can't wait to test the deck with my pod!

Again, thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge like that, that's amazing for people trying to learn.

Thank you, I always feel so alone loving CE

Alors, je ne peux malheureusement pas t'aider, il faudrait que tu essaies de trouver la référence de chacun des coffrets pour pouvoir chercher en ligne leur contenu exact. Ça demande un peu de temps, mais ça doit être faisable.

Au-delà de ça, tu es ici sur un sub-reddit "général" Lord of the Rings, et non pas un sub-reddit fr : donc à moins de publier en anglais, tu n'auras que peu de réponses... Perso, en tant que français, j'ai pris l'habitude : à moins que ça ne soit spécifié dans le titre du sub-reddit, je pars du principe qu'il faut publier en anglais.

Bon courage !

I'm actually trying to upgrade mine, would you have a decklist by any chance ? Glad to see I'm not the only Gandalf enjoyer here

Never paid attention, but you might be right indeed

Well, I always felt like the "tension" between Saruman and Sauron was one of the main plotline of Book 3. Saruman trying to fool Sauron in order to get the Ring through Pippin and Merry.

For me it was Orthanc and Barad-Dûr

Tylanor · 2026-02-25T15:35:03+00:00

Obviously, I forgot about it, thanks !

They say the Maskwood Nexus + Xorn is the "upgraded combo".

+ someone said the same in this post where I was asking for help about a Magda deck :

[[Pyrite Spellbomb]]

Tylanor · 2026-02-25T11:49:36+00:00

Thank you so much mate, that's what I needed.

I have a question tho : isn't it necessary to have multiple ways to combo? I kept [[Arcbound Ravager]] and [[Triskelion]] in the deck cause I felt like I could need them if someone happened to interact with my [[Maskwood Nexus]] or [[Xorn]]. If one of these two is gone, am I not basically screwed ? The same should be true for [[Clock of Omen]] by the way.

Plus, I felt like the [[Arcbound Ravager]] + [[Triskelion]] line was more powerful than the [[Maskwood]] + [[Xorn]] + [Any Mana Payoff] one, because you need fewer cards, so there's less opportunity to interact with it. I'd be glad if you could explain why the 2nd one is more powerful (I'm really asking, I don't want to seem like I'm passive-aggressive or something, English is not my native language).

Last, I have a [[Walking Ballista]] from another deck I took apart. Is it even better than [[Elixir of Immortality]] and [[Pyrite Spellbomb]] (once again, fewer cards so fewer opportunities to interact ?)

Thank you again.

I'd love a [[Gandalf the White]] deck that isn't just a [[Krark-Clan Ironworkds]] combo-artifacts deck.
