  • This is a great podcast for deep dives into individual cards for Lord of the Rings: The Card Game aka LOTR LCG. I can't recommend watching the video version enough, https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCj-QcL_YcA_DQKe7bSe9byA. It really gets around having to cross reference hallofbeorn for the text or the art while the card is discussed. They also talk a good deal about what a card's role is in the card pool. Additionally, what kinds of decks the card being discussed is good in.
