EDH based on the forces of Shadow from LotR, embracing visions of both, J.R.R. and Jackson.

This is work in progress: Every card should be a reference - in a way or another - to the story. However, as yhou guessed some cards are just random Orcs/Goblins until I can replace them with something better.

All central characters and monsters worth noticing should be depicted; if they are not, I am working on it. Suggestions and all other comments are welcome!

WORD FROM THE ARTIST

Please note my decks are always based on cards I have and own. I do not create 1500 euro decks of cards from the virtual database just to show off. Instead, I work with cards I actually have access to.
