The simplicity and popularity of Fellowship block make it an ideal starting spot for new players, a unique quirk compared to most TCGs where the latest and most expansive version of the game is the only way to play.

Decipher's continued support for the format also meant it was under their continued sovereignty, which on two occasions changed the official Fellowship Block from what it had been historically. First was after the release of set 9, where the new alternate [[Ring-bearer|Ring-bearers]] tipped the scale for Decipher to ban Ring-bearer [[Skirmish Cancellation|skirmish cancelling]] in all formats (something which they had been moving away from since Fellowship Block anyway). Soon after the release of set 11 came the birth of the R-list, which included {{Card|Forces of Mordor}} as one of the cards restricted to just one copy for [[Open]] and all block formats. Therefore, there are technically two "versions" of Fellowship Block: the original format played during the first year of the game's lifespan, and the tournament format of later years.
