In The Lord of the Rings TCG, Ent is the Race given to the animated trees of Fangorn Forest (but not to be confused with Tree, appearing only as Huorn). All Ent cards are within the Gandalf Culture. Debuting in The Two Towers with a paired set of Ally cards for Treebeard, Ents would gradually grow into a dominant subculture with additional cards being added in Battle of Helm's Deep and - you guessed it - Ents of Fangorn.

The Ent Horde start

There is an (in)famous eight-character Ent starting Fellowship in Expanded, played in this order:

You can also run just Merry, Pippin, Quickbeam, and a two-cost companion of your choice, if you prefer to not be vulnerable to Úlairë Enquëa, Lieutenant of Morgul (1U231) at site 2!

Any Merry, and Pippin, and Quickbeam are the closest you can come to this start in any format that doesn't include Rise of Saruman.
