WWHH #1

I'm starting a series of decklists called WWHH (What would have happened). In these decklists I will bring up questions that some of you may of never thought of before. I will do two decklists for the books 1-6, and I might do the Hobbit. I feel like it's a fun idea and I hope you enjoy.

What if Bilbo never left the Shire? There's a few things we have to think about here. Would he have kept the ring or passed it to Frodo? If he did pass it to Frodo, would the ring force him to take it back? If he kept it, when the Black Riders came would he be able to escape? We all know Bilbo has a good amount of luck attached to him.

If you have any other thoughts on what might of happened, make sure to tell me in the comments.

if making thematic i would be consistent, so no Steward of Gondor for the hobbits. yea it makes the deck less good, but if you true want to play thematic things, that is the price...

then, it is not clear to me, what purpose the series should have, means what szenarios you do want to play. if this is for the campaign, then either you could not choose frodo, or alter the campaignrules.

In place of Steward of Gondor, could go with Red Book of Westmarch. If you want to play this in Saga -- which would be appropriate if you want to take Bilbo up against the Black Riders -- then you should think about who to sub in for Frodo Baggins. Tom Cotton would be the best choice given the existing card choices.

Also, it's what would have happened, i.e. what would've happened, which sounds kind of like of but isn't ;-)
