Guest Host Ian Martin

Card Talk ·

2019/01/21

We approached Ian about the opportunity to talk about a card on Card Talk and he chose (somewhat to our surprise!) Palantir. This card ultimately was better than we initially thought, but does it push it to a playable card in our decks? Tune in and find out!

Sauron's Reach

Card Talk ·

2019/01/17

In this episode of Encounter Card Talk, we take on one of the smaller encounter sets and arguably the easiest set of cards to manage in the whole core set. What are your thoughts on these cards?

Tactics Aragorn

Card Talk ·

2019/01/14

Why not take on the last of the Aragorns that have been released to this point? We talked about Lore Aragorn last week with Mr. Underhill, and now we take on the tactics version. He has the same stat line, but his ability is far different, yet equally thematic. Which of the three do you prefer?

Guest Host Mr. Underhill (Ryan Kelly)

Card Talk ·

2019/01/07

In this episode, we talk to Mr. Underhill whose current "Thematic Campaign" with Joseph Forster is hitting the community now. We talk to him about all his community involvement, but more importantly, we discuss a card of his choice, Lore Aragorn. He's high on using his ability to reduce threat. How do you feel about this version?

Spirit Theoden

Card Talk ·

2018/12/24

Merry Christmas to all those who celebrate! What better way to get in the spirit of the holiday season by talking about Spirit Theoden, who is sometimes called Santa because of his artwork. While this hero reminds us of the holiday, is he better than his counterpart, Tactics Theoden? I guess there is just one way to find out!

Wilderlands

2018/12/20

This encounter set seems to be filled with cards that new players could find intimidating. Oh yeah, this is the set where they brought a hill troll... okay... two of them!

Escort from Edoras

Card Talk ·

2018/12/17

This support character can quest for 4 and only costs 2 spirit. He may make some Rohan decks sing... but he probably can find places in other decks. But the fact that he is one and done can be frustrating. Which side of the fence do you fall on?

Guest Host Chris Stanford

Card Talk ·

2018/12/10

We'll give you three extra guesses who Chris picks to talk about in this episode, but at the end of the round, you'll have to get rid of all those guesses and start again for the next show. I know, it's a strange rule, but it makes you think about different ways to construct a... podcast. Thanks to Chris "Seastan" Stanford for being such an amazing guest and a vital part of the LOTR LCG community.

Gaffer Gamgee

Card Talk ·

2018/12/06

In this episode, we talk about Sam Gamgee's dad, his ole Gaffer. He is thematically a hit and seems to be an amazing card, especially with his ability in being in the lore sphere. Tune in and see what our first impressions of this card are.

Tactics Hero Bilbo

Card Talk ·

2018/12/05

NOTE: Bilbo's ability cannot be used against cards that are immune to player card effects. We were excited and didn't look up the rule! This is our first take on Bilbo. We got news of this card right before we were going to record, so these are more impressions and how we plan on using this card. We missed some obvious combos in our excitement and when the card actually hits the table, we may revisit it and revise our ratings. Let us know what your first impressions are!

Tactics Eowyn

Card Talk ·

2018/12/03

In this episode we talk about a very highly regarded card, Eowyn. Her stat line is perfect for questing and her ability allows her to vanquish most enemies. Oh yeah, and she's a tactics hero and that makes a huge difference!

Guest Host Caleb Grace

Card Talk ·

2018/11/26

In this, our extended version of the interview with Caleb, we hear some of more about the game developing process and more about the card that is obviously so near and dear to his heart!

Friend of Friends

Card Talk ·

2018/11/19

This card is a thematic homerun. It symbolizes the relationship that Sam and Frodo had while pushing ever closer to Mount Doom to destroy the one ring. The card's mechanics though, do you think it is a homerun or a strikeout?

Guest Host Jon Meek

Card Talk ·

2018/11/12

While it makes total sense that we have audio issues for this podcast, it also makes sense that this was one of the most fun guest hosts we've had on the show. Jon is the also known as ElectronJon from The Cardboard of the Rings podcast and is a self described "Huge lore nerd" Which card did he choose? Tune in and find out!

Guest Host Samuel Shreeve

Card Talk ·

2018/11/08

In this episode, we talk with Samuel Shreeve, the creator of the White Tower blog. Right now, he is in the process of his Agents of the White Council feature on that site where he plays a quest and then writes a narrative about what just happened on that quest. Brilliant! Here, we talk about tactic Theoden, the hero that buffs all tactics heroes. Take a listen to see what he has to say!

Dunedain Mark

Card Talk ·

2018/11/08

In this video, we discuss the leadership attachment Dunedain Mark. This 1 cost card can help any number of heroes because it can be moved around the board. It's not restricted nor is it unique, but does that matter?

Guest Host Chad Garlinghouse

Card Talk ·

2018/11/08

Chad really loves a card. In this episode, he talks about all the tricks and toys and tales about his favorite card. You didn't think we would spoil the contest, did you? Don't forget to check out the extended audio version for more fun with Chad!

Andrath Guardsman

Card Talk ·

2018/11/08

This leadership ally from the Mumakil adventure pack perked up our decks with his ability. He's not a bad chump blocker and he can nullify and attack from an enemy. That's not a bad thing. Do you think he is all that he is cracked up to be?

Dunhere

Card Talk ·

2018/11/08

Dunhere. Core Set hero. Attacks the staging area. Oh my! That's a pretty cool trick he has. What do you think of this Rohan spirit hero? Our audio podcast is an extended version of our video podcasts. You can get to our YouTube channel here
