I hope the lucky owner of The One Ring riffle-shuffles it into their casual kitchen-table deck and then ties that deck up with a rubber band, because thats how TCGs should be games first, speculative market cash cows second.
Its not necessarily the most-played, or the most powerful, but a look at the 20 cards that on any given day of the week, float to the top of a slightly larger pool of cards that made waves this year
Control decks There are almost always blue or black cards in a white control deck, and this creates the most complete selection of defensive abilities you will see in the game
I do have a small binder of cards that I would hold onto if I ever quit playing though, thats pretty much my real collection, everything else I am willing to offload
From the general chatter, players seem to be more likely to head back to locals
For example, if a deck contains Amber and Amethyst cards, it must not contain any Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, or Steel cards
