Posted on September 1, 2023 by Beorn

It’s been a busy summer for BeornGPT. Lately we’ve prompted it to randomly select decks built by community luminaries and match those up with a television show or movie. Readers are in for a treat, as the latest combination worked … Continue reading →

Homebrew: Filling in the Gaps

Posted on October 10, 2020 by Beorn

One of the biggest challenges with making thematic decks is that some characters are only available in hero form. Even with the new Bond of Friendship contract, there are four hero spots in your deck. This makes it almost impossible … Continue reading →

Alternate Art: The Three Hunters Aggro v2

Posted on September 15, 2019 by Beorn

Sands of Harad was not exactly my favorite deluxe expansion, when it was first released. The versions of Gimli and Legolas had obvious synergy, but their effects seemed a bit underwhelming. Spirit Legolas, in particular, was in an uphill battle … Continue reading →

Posted on December 8, 2016 by Beorn

I had the chance to try out my Aggressive version of the The Hunters Deck tonight and was able to survive Desert Crossing before my heroes were burnt alive. Roheryn was invaluable for this quest. Not only did he provide the … Continue reading →

Alternate Art: Magali Villeneuve

Posted on May 30, 2016 by Beorn

The physical constraints of a card game mean that amazing artwork is hidden on small cards. With many talented artists contributing to this game, it is shame to have beautiful images limited to 3.5 by 2.5 inches. With the promotional … Continue reading →

Posted on January 17, 2015 by Beorn

Beyond the rich theme and deep strategy, another thing that really makes The Lord of the Rings: The Card Game stand out is the fantastic art. It is a shame that the standard card size reduces many of these masterpieces … Continue reading →
