Show Notes:

One does not simply play “Hosts of Mordor” out of the box. So here’s our budget upgrade guide for the blue, black, and red precon from Magic’s latest set, The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth. We’ve got 10 cards to add and 10 to remove in order to maximize this deck’s villainous powers. That way it’ll be able to compete at more Uruk-HAI-powered tables. Don’t miss it!
