Lord of ring creatures3/12/2024 ![]() ![]() There are some Eagle Creatures that also tend to leave play through their own effect. This makes Creatures often very fleeting, never staying in play for long (excluding some Eagles again). Some Creature allies aren’t discarded, but instead return to your hand (Messenger Raven), go back into your deck (Giant Bear), or attach to other allies so that the ally turns into an attachment (Wild Stallion). This can be a built in discard option (Loyal Hound, Riddermark’s Finest), or an effect that responds on the Creature leaving play (Meneldor, Descendant of Thorondor). ![]() This is because many Creature cards want to leave play in order to do an effect. While the stats on individual Creature cards are usually low (excluding Eagle and Beorning allies), it does not often matter. This can cause you to attack twice with an Eagles of the Misty Mountains, or to both quest and use the effect on Riddermark’s Finest! Not only are you able to send out more Creatures more quickly, but you also have the ability to ready a Creature at will. While the enemy option isn’t real synergy with the trait, the other 2 effects help out a lot in a Creature deck. He is helped in this by his Staff, which can either lower the cost of Creature allies by 2, making many Creatures free, but it can also ready a Creature ally or return a Creature enemy to the staging area. This gives him more uses per round, and you can play around with many different Creature allies that he can pay for. He has the ability to play Creature cards from any sphere, and does not exhaust to quest if you have played at least one Creature ally from your hand this round. The synergy of the Creature trait was introduced during the Fate of Wilderland expansion when hero Radagast was announced. Lore Creature allies are only the Loyal Hounds, who are also aggressive, and have damage cancellation options. Leadership Creature allies support your deck with some willpower, stat buffs, and a potential card draw engine. Spirit Creature cards are horses, which can either make progress on locations, or attach to other allies in order to boost their stats, turning from Creature into a Mount. Tactics Creature cards tend to be the more combat focussed allies, like Eagles and Beornings. This opens up some more card draw for you, allowing you to get your creatures out even faster! The Lore sphere is probably going to be used in such a deck, since you will likely run Radagast in his hero version. This means that you can simply throw all Creature allies you have into a deck and you will be able to pay for them. His hero version allows him to use his resources for creature allies of any sphere, and his ally version does the same. However, the sphere of the Creature ally does not often matter if you are playing with either version of Radagast. The Creature cards belong to all spheres, but Tactics really stands out due to the number of Eagle allies that also have the Creature trait. ![]() During the Land of Sorrow, we even got our very first Creature hero! These packs feature Creature characters or support the trait, pick up the bold packs first: These were often used for their synergy with other traits, such as Hobbits, Rohan, and Beornings, but can also work with each other to form a Creature deck. Many of these were Eagles, but a few other creatures also joined the roster. ![]() While the Creature synergy is relatively new, we have been getting Creature allies since before the Fate of Wilderland pack. These animals will help you by carrying your loads, send messages, or to charge into battle with you! Expansion packs The game has many creatures that help you in your quests, ranging from bears to birds to horses. It wasn’t just Men, Elves, and Dwarves that withstood Sauron and his minions during the War of the Ring, many animals also helped in order to keep their territory or to help their bipedal masters. ![]()
