So this upcoming week, I'm going to be teaching Lord of the Rings to some of my friends, and I had the task of creating a couple of decks to teach the game. I decided to build four decks, one in each sphere, using only the contents of two Core Sets and cards from the first cycle. Primarily the addition of the cycle was due to the limited choices of Ally cards in the Core Set, primarily for Tactics.
Anyway, I've posted the decks on cardgamedb, so I'll just link to them here:
Leadership Deck
Lore Deck
Spirit Deck
Tactics Deck
I think each of these does a good job of showcasing the strengths of the individual spheres, and start showing some different ways that players can interact with one another AND some of the subthemes in the game (the Tactics deck has a bunch of Eagles, and the Spirit deck has a fairly decent Rohan synergy, or at least as much as could be expected from them at this point in the game's release).
My hope is that these will be fun decks, and since they were all made using a fairly limited card pool, they will allow the players to see the variety of decks and strategies available to Lord of the Rings LCG players early on.
Plus, hopefully it'll create new players, which is the most important thing!
