(Vassal) [Offsite Links]
[Note: the following was written about the older version of this deck.]
This is a deck I've made at least a couple of times in the past based around the idea of a creating a deck so powerful it takes two normal decks to defeat it. Inspired by recent discussion on Geektopia about creating an Elrond I decided to try and iron this deck into a finished version (credit obviously goes to Robert Moore whose Sauron deck I borrowed some ideas from).
Thoughts and Concerns:
-I've recently tested this against several of the toughest LOTR decks (Aragorn, Gandalf, Witch-King, Thorin) and he's been undefeated so far although he's come away with a few close matches. Since this deck was meant to be played against any Elrond and Isildur decks, as long as duels against those two decks are more fair than I'm fine with that kind of win percentage.
-DARK MACE + LORD OF THE RINGS is very mean, but also he's only real offense outside of SEARING TOUCH and his blue deck A5/D1.
-POWER OF THE RING is intentionally worded to interact with Aragorn and Isildur.
-SEARING TOUCH is admittedly a "sponge card", but I wanted to give him a bit more offense and I wanted to avoid giving Sauron any direct damage (which this card sort-of kind of is.)
-Yes, I'm stupid for writing "Darklord" and not "Dark Lord"; I'll fix that in any future updates.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated and if you take him for a spin remember to use the following turn order:
Team 1 Player 1, Sauron, Team 1 Player 2 (or I guess Sauron, Team 1 Player 1, Team 1 Player 2 works as well).
