Set 6, '''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 ==
= Set Details =
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.

== Cultures ==

== New loaded keywords ==
 
Ents of Fangorn did not introduce any new loaded keywords.

== Functional reprints ==
 
== Strictly better ==
 
== Strictly worse ==
 
== Similar sites ==
 
Because the Two Towers introduced a completely new site path, the set included some sites very similar to sites previously released in the Fellowship of the Ring block in order to enable the same strategies.
 
* Valley of Saruman (similar gametext to Anduin Confluence)
 
= Notable Cards =
* Faramir, Ithilien Ranger
* The Witch-king, Deathless Lord (the first starter-only Shadow card)


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


{{C|Ringwraith}} makes their first showing in [[Towers Block]], including a very important cycling staple in the form of {{Card|Fell Beast}}.
===The Witch-King Starter Deck===
Gandalf [Gandalf] / Ringwraith [Ringwraith] / Sauron [Sauron]


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

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.
