Set 5, '''Ents of Fangorn''' (or '''EOF''') is the second expansion of the Two Towers block, and the fifth set overall. It was released on July 2, 2003. 

== Themes and Mechanics ==
EOF continued introducing cards to support the strategies and cultures from TTT and BOHD, but also broke new ground in a number of small ways.  [[Wraith]]s (not Ringwraiths) were introduced to the {{C|Sauron}} culture, as were [[Troll]]s.  Neither of those first attempts ended up more than novelties, but later in [[King Block]] the {{C|Sauron}} [[Troll Swarm]] would being to be a thing of terror.

[[Ent]]s completed their arc, and for the first time had companions released that were not hampered by the [[Unhasty]] keyword.  

The Balrog also makes his final [[Movie Block]] appearance, in a form that is no longer required to be played [[Underground]].


== Notable Cards ==
* {{Card|Glamdring, Lightning Brand}}
* {{Card|Ent Horde}}
* {{Card|Host of Fangorn}}
* {{Card|Quickbeam, Bregalad}}
* {{Card|Aragorn, Defender of Free Peoples}}
* {{Card|Banner of Westernesse}}
* {{Card|The Balrog, Terror of Flame and Shadow}}
* {{Card|Fell Beast}}


== Starter Decks ==
This set continues the experiment begun in [[Battle of Helm's Deep]], where the 3 random Rare cards that normally came in a [[Starter Deck]] are replaced with fixed Alternate Image "rares" which thematically suited the deck.  This was the last set that followed this pattern, and with [[The Return of the King]] random rares would be restored to the starter decks once more.

The Witch-king Starter is notable for being the first starter deck themed around a [[Shadow]] premium card.

* [[Starter_Decks/Towers_Block#EoF_Faramir_Starter_Deck|Faramir Starter Deck]]:  {{C|Gondor}} / {{C|Shire}} / {{C|Isengard}}
* [[Starter_Decks/Towers_Block#EoF_The_Witch-king_Starter_Deck|The Witch-king Starter Deck]]:  {{C|Gandalf}} / {{C|Ringwraith}} / {{C|Sauron}}
