Lore Glamdring

Card Talk ·

2019/10/14

As our trip down Guarded (X) card lane continues, we talk about Glamdring, Gandalf's sword from the lengendarium. This is the Lore version of the weapon that gives the attached hero (or Gandalf) +2 attack strength. The card costs 1, but is the Guarded (X) make the cost too much?

Con of the Rings Designer Interview

Card Talk ·

2019/10/11

At Con of the Rings, I was fortunate enough to host a designer interview with both Caleb Grace and Matt Newman. In this interview, we talk card design, abstractions, and about the infamous "break." Special thanks to McDog, an organizer of the Con who shot the video and allowed me to edit this for distribution to the community after my audio file was corrupted! Enjoy!

Necklace of Girion

Card Talk ·

2019/09/30

This week the guys talk about the Necklace of Girion. Yup, it's guarded. Yup, it's neutral. Yup, it costs 1. But do the benefits outweigh the guarded cons?

Mithril Shirt

Card Talk ·

2019/09/16

In this episode, we talk about the guarded (x) card, Mithril Shirt. This attachment reduces damage dealt to a hero by 1. It seems like a small effect, but it really is more powerful when you play it than it first seems. But it's a guarded card. Does it make it worth it?

The Arkenstone

Card Talk ·

2019/09/09

In a continuation of our series on guarded (x) cards, Grant and I take a look at the Arkenstone. This 1 cost neutral attachment gives all unique characters an extra willpower. This seems to fit very nicely into a tactics deck, but does it work anywhere?

Tactics Sting

Card Talk ·

2019/08/26

In this episode, Grant and Dave look at Sting, a guarded tactics attachment that goes on a hobbit hero. This card seems like the perfect guarded attachment for Tactics Bilbo to target in the staging area, but he may not be the best target to attach the card to. For more about this card, tune in!

Revisiting Tactics Hero Bilbo

Card Talk ·

2019/08/19

In this episode, Grant and Dave take a closer look at the new tactics hero Bilbo after using him for a little while. The guys think he is still pretty good, but playing with him has given them new insight on just how well he works. Tune in!

Card Talk ·

2019/08/12

In this episode, we talk to Derek Kamal, one of the hosts of the Grey Company Podcast. We spend the episode talking about small target, a spirit event from the Encounter at Amon Din adventure pack. I wonder what there is to say about this seldom-used card?

Guest Host Matt Duckworth

Card Talk ·

2019/08/05

By popular demand! We bring Matt on this episode of Card Talk to talk about a hero that he has been advocating for for years. Hero Lore Faramir fits real nice into Matt's trap deck, but can it fit elsewhere?

Legacy of Numenor

Card Talk ·

2019/07/22

In this episode, we get over our "Doomed Fear" pretty quickly as we talk about Legacy of Numenor, a 0 cost, doomed 4 (yup, F-O-U-R!) event. It gives every hero in the game an extra resource. In essence, it skips a whole turn. Does the cost outweigh the benefit? This is the interesting question that we take on in this episode!

Grima

Card Talk ·

2019/07/15

In this episode we talk about Grima, a Lore Hero from the the Voice of Isengard box. His ability is to give cards the doomed keyword, but reduce their cost by 1. Is the trade off good? Is it bad? Is it ugly? And speaking of his card art...

Have you ever heard something we've said and thought that we were so totally off base that you wanted to set us straight, or maybe even worse? Join Grant and Dave as they have Ted Banach on the show where he discusses how the guys got their analysis of Hero Gandalf all wrong. Ted is a veteran player himself and has made an appearance on CotR with the same theme: All cards are playable. Let us know about your own "set us straight moment!"
