The Decks

Here are listed several decks for the Middle Earth: Collectible Card Game.

	the Last Alliance of Eriador for short games While Gandalf is out gallavanting near Mordor Radagast and a company of Rangers are working to get the North Kingdom into shape for the final battle.
	Saruman's Minions for short games Saruman has Fallen! He now plots to take Elostirion for his own and is gathering his resources there, while his Orcish hordes scour the lands.
	Raiders of the Lost Hoard II for short games The Temple of Smaug. This deck won first place at the Eindhoven tournament 05-23-1998. Radagast the Fallen convinces Gimli to gather an unexpected party to reclaim the treasures of the Hoards.
	The Avenging of Celebrian for short games Rivendell and Lorien combine forces to punish the hoardes of the Misty Mountains for the killing of Celebrian.

In the card-lists of the decks the cards are arranged to create an evenly mixed deck if both resources and hazards are first distributed over three stacks and then mixed.
If your deck is constructed for a wizard opponent you can change it quickly to a Ringwraith/Sauron opponent (and vice-versa) using the fast swap. This is useful when you have 'only' one playset and can't build the deck twice. The fast swap works as follows:

Take the card in front of the arrow out of the deck and put it into the card-pool.
At the end of the line is stated where the replacement card comes from.
Take the card behind the arrow out and put it into the deck.

Work your way down the fast swap sheep line by line, or it won't work. If there is no card listed before the arrow, no card needs to be taken out of the deck. The card-pool is the stack of cards that are not being used in one deck, but are being used in the other.

The font face used in the card listings is 'Copperplate Gothic Light'.
