I've revisited my Dunedain Three Hunters deck for The Dread Realm. This time bringing in Amarthuil hero and Spear of the Citadel. The plan is to defend Daechanar and have the spear's direct damage remove any sorcery treacheries attached to him. We'll see how well it works it out....

Cram
Need a way to ready a hero that isn't dependent on some other condition? Check out cram. A card that probably gets overlooked when building a deck, but could really help get your deck working.

Peace, and Thought
This 1 cost card comes with a hefty price to pay during the Refresh phase. But the juice could be worth the squeeze. What is your opinion? Become a patron! https://patreon.com/cardtalk2018
Guest Host Vardaen (again!)
Join us as we talk to our favorite Marvel Champions podcast host about Ghan-Buri-Ghan and the lore behind this card. Vardaen joined us one other time on the show and is a wealth of information about the game, the cards, and about the lore behind the cards. Interested in becoming a patron?

Free to Choose
The guys take on a more obscure card in the game, Free to Choose. It's a spirit card that reduces threat if your threat is raised by the encounter deck. It's not a popular card, but what do you think? Want to support us? Become a patron: https://patreon.com/cardtalk2018
Beravor
A lore hero from the core set, Beravor allows you to have consistent card draw. She also has the Dunedain and Ranger trait, for those keeping score. We spent a lot of time discussing other ways to get card draw beside her. What's your opinion on her?
SPOILER!!! Spirit Aragorn
Want to support our show be becoming a patron? http://patreon.com/cardtalk2018 In this special spoiler episode, we talk about the newly spoiled and highly anticipated last hero of the game, Spirit Aragorn. As a spirit hero, he sure does slot into a few decks. And the community is already abuzz about the card. People have formed their strong opinions. Maybe we can change yours?
Snowbourn Scout
In this episode, we talk about an awesome... chump, the Snowbourn Scout. He's a 1 cost leadership hero that seems to take the brunt of the Hill Troll's club. What do you think about this Rohan ally?
SPOILER!!! Red Book of Westmarch
The release of the fifth AP in the Vengeance of Mordor Cycle has been delayed. But, the last few cards were spoiled late last week. In this episode the guys talk about The Red Book of Westmarch because it's a player card. While it looks pretty functional as a player card, it sure looks fun. Join us as we spoil this card! And if you would like to support our show, please visit our patreon page: http://patreon.com/cardtalk2018
Guest Hosts Shane and Bob
In this episode we talk about an old card. We Are Not Idle came out in the second cycle, in the Shadow and Flame AP. Here we discuss how it's aged over the life of the game and compare it to many of the other cards that allow you to draw. What are your opinions of this card? Awesome or Ashes? Cool or Crud?
