FYI, your starting hand and any mulligan happens before the quest set-up, so you can't decide to mulligan or not based on encounter card set-up (not that it mattered here). It's extra important in easy mode as you would have resources on heroes already and 6 cards in hand so you could potentially play something during set-up like A Test of Will. On normal mode (no resources yet) then you could only play cards/abilities that don't have a resource cost (like Eleanor). Looks like you also missed placing the progress to clear the last Brownlands immediately after travelling but it didn't matter since you won right after. As a small tip, be very careful questing (or exhausting before staging) with characters with 1 hp if there's treacheries that damage exhausted characters like the infamous Necromancer's Reach. There's multiple in the deck and 1 more damage on Mendor would have been a loss since you didn't have A Test of Will to cancel it. There's also another treachery in the core box that does 1 damage to every character if threat is 35+ which can wreck your board if threat gets high.
After a long arduous day of questing it’s nice that the final orders are kill everything still standing. I know Mendor is some sort of Noble but he still strikes me as the kind of guy who constantly reminds everyone that his dad owns a dealership. GG
Enjoying watching these playthroughs! Thanks so much! As a huge LotR fan and big Marvel Champions fan, this LCG has intrigued me. Your videos are helping me understand it better. Would love to hear your thoughts comparing the two LCGs at some point once you’ve finished more games of LotR!
@Kyle Green Thanks for watching! The main difference, which you haven't seen in the first to plays, is LOTR is a harder game (I've been super lucky so far!) Deck construction is different, MC you have your identity and core cards, so almost half your deck is fixed ... LOTR you start from nothing, pick 3 heroes and make a complete deck. And instead of drawing you full hand and using cards as resources and other things, LOTR is draw one card and put a resource token on each hero ... so getting the card combos can be tough!
@@DaletheCasualGamer interesting. I really enjoy the deck building in MC but also often have limited time so being more difficult might be a downside. Still intrigued though and hope to try it out one day.
@@DaletheCasualGamer love your gameplay series (warhammer quest adventure card game being my favorite). Would you recommend MC if I am into story as well? Love to play WHQAdv and just bought Lord of the Rings LCG, but since MC is still completely available I am thinking about getting it as well.
@@RAWxxx07 I think Arkham Horror the card game is the best story based card game. MC does have campaign boxes, but I wouldn't consider the story to be very deep although it is one of my favorite games of all-time. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer what makes MC better/different to LOTR LCG besides the setting of course. (you probably have a video about it). I thought about trying MC since one can still buy everything,
I love/hate relationship with this game. I love the gameplay and cards. But finding it very hard to play. Not confident at all how to build the deck if playing solo. Think that 50+ cards its a lot to play with, plus the card selection is puzzling me, arkham is more direct and clear on this. Always think its just best to get bambilion of cheap allies you can keep sacrificing... Nice gameplay! Thank You
Get one of the starter decks. I purchased the Dwarves of Durin pack and haven't sucked since. I've never built a deck in my life but the starters are a decent start to that journey. It gets you thinking about it (somehow) 😅
On minute 5:40 when you use an a ally for chump blocking doesnt it absorb all damage and die? why did you add the extra dmg as threat to the counter? Great playthroughs btw :)
Scarred weakens throwing allies to defend constantly, which is probably good for the game. I suspect scenario 3 would be a lot more difficult if either Eowyn or Aragorn were kidnapped.
nice playthrough, one question is it alowed to bring a ally with e.g stand and fight direct after 6.8.1 in the battle which counts in addition to the attack power because there is a action window ? thx in advance.
Just a note that at 17:02, you put the encounter card in the wrong discard pile. You put it into your discard pile, not the encounter card discard pile. Otherwise, great video. I look forward to the finale next week.
@@MikeC310 At the time, I should have said "...your personal discard pile..." I still miss Dale when he was uploading videos, and I wish he'll come back to RU-vid one day.
Thanks for the playthrough. One question though. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding as I just got this game but from 8:40 onwards, you were assigning 4 willpower to Aragorn with just the Steward of Gondor and Valor cards. He didn't get Celebrian's Stone till later in the game. Was that a mistake? Should he only have been getting 2 willpower?
