My goal is to get the Mordor and food decks. Then tweak them to be a Sarumon vs Treebeard set of duel decks. I'm hoping that can keep them relatively on the same power level.
I do think I would have liked if they introduced a partner mechanic like the stranger things one. Where you could partner, but only with members of the fellowship.
I'm not sure about power levels, but I've ordered the Riders of Rohan and the Elven Council decks. I really love the theme for both of these and am excited to see how they play out of the box and with some potential tweaks from the set booster box I've grabbed.
I'm planning on getting the Food and Fellowship deck, or getting the blue-green elf deck. I'm new to the format and I don't have any commander decks, so I guess one of these is going to be my first!
You said you already tried to order yours - are pre-orders open at local game stores? I'm going to be at the pre-release tomorrow, so I guess I'll try to order mine then!
I think they are all pretty well designed and seems to be well balanced between them, however the Food and Fellowship seems to be the best one, maybe that's why all 6 of the decks that my LGS had are already all sold out.
I planned to get the Food and Fellowship, but since they are all sold out i bought the The Hosts of Mordor and plan to upgrade it, but i think i'll only use cards from the set to keep the flavor and style. Can't wait to get my hands on it.
