Alternate Art: Blue Shell of Friendship

Posted on September 2, 2023 by Beorn

Try as we might, it was not possible to convince BeornGPT to design an F1-themed alternate art deck for electronjon. For some reason it kept trying to use photos of Mario Andretti for every character. As a consolation prize, we … Continue reading →

Deck: Memories of the Second Age

Posted on September 6, 2022 by Beorn

The elves in Tolkien’s legendarium allow for histories and world building of truly mythological scope. Their lifespans mean that many of them have witnessed centuries of world events. It also deepens the tragedy when an elf is slain; centuries of … Continue reading →

Session Report: My Mûmak’s Name is Homer

Posted on April 14, 2017 by Beorn

I’m presenting my trek through the Haradrim Cycle a bit out of order, but I wanted to give a snapshot of my victory against The Mûmakil with my Aggro Caldara deck. With the help of an army of allies, Caldara was … 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 →

Decks: The House of Elrond

Posted on January 19, 2015 by Beorn

Of all the characters in Tolkien’s legendarium, Elrond is one of the most fascinating. The half-elven descendant of Beren and Lúthien, Elrond and his brother Elros were given a very unique choice. After the War of Wrath and the destruction of Beleriand, the … Continue reading →

Alternate Art: Core Set Heroes

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 →

Deck: Haldir the Hunter

Posted on August 25, 2014 by Beorn

GenCon is one of those experiences that is so massive, so overwhelming, that it takes a bit of time to recover and adjust to the day-to-day routine of life. Now that I’ve finally had a chance to settle in and take stock … Continue reading →

Deck: Out of Ithilien

Posted on July 29, 2014 by Beorn

All the business of war, and indeed all the business of life, is to endeavour to find out what you don’t know by what you do; that’s what I called “guessing what was at the other side of the hill.” … Continue reading →
