__NOTOC__ {{NavBar|Realms of the Elf-lords|[[Main Page]]|[[Mines of Moria]]|[[The Two Towers]]}} {{SetTabs}} [[File:LOTR-EN03S122.0_card.jpg|frame|right|{{Card|Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith}} was later reprinted in [[Black Rider]].]] Set 3, '''Realms of the Elf-lords''' (or '''ROTEL'''), the second expansion to [[The Lord of the Rings TCG]] took strategy to a whole new level. Largely focusing on the {{C|Elven}} allies of Rivendell and Lothlorien, ROTEL created an entirely new subset of minions with {{C|Isengard}} Orcs, largely expanded the {{C|Sauron}} discard strategy, and introduced several cards to keep the Fellowship healed. Realms of the Elf-lords also introduced a new Aragorn, two new Arwen companions, and the two starter deck companions, {{Card|Legolas, Son of Thranduil}} and {{Card|Boromir, Defender of Minas Tirith}}. Finally, ROTEL introduced Saruman as a playable character and introduced the three Elven rings of power, {{Card|Narya}}, {{Card|Nenya}}, and {{Card|Vilya}}. == Notable Cards == * {{Card|Elrond, Herald to Gil-Galad}} * {{Card|Aragorn, Heir to the White City}} * {{Card|Gondor Bowmen}} * {{Card|Might of Numenor}} * {{Card|Horn of Boromir}} * {{Card|Saruman, Keeper of Isengard}} * {{Card|Bill the Pony}} * {{Card|Frying Pan}} * {{Card|The Shire Countryside}} Realms of the Elf Lords featured several cards that were subsequently X-Listed in future formats, including: * {{Card|Bill the Pony}} * {{Card|Horn of Boromir}} * {{Card|Aragorn, Heir to the White City}} * {{Card|Saruman, Keeper of Isengard}} * {{Card|The Palantir of Orthanc}} Sharp-eyed readers will notice the overlap between this list and the Notable Cards from above. == Starter Decks == * [[Starter_Decks/Fellowship_Block#RotEL_Boromir_Starter_Deck|Boromir Starter Deck]]: {{C|Gondor}} / {{C|Sauron}} * [[Starter_Decks/Fellowship_Block#RotEL_Legolas_Starter_Deck|Legolas Starter Deck]]: {{C|Elven}} / {{C|Isengard}} == Print Runs== Realms of the Elf-lords is one of the most difficult sets to find sealed product for; presumably in response to the over-printed [[Mines of Moria]], Decipher cut down on the print runs for ROTEL and ran into the opposite problem: rather than overflowing warehouses, players literally could not get enough. Even in the later overprint distribution in [[Reflections]], ROTEL remained underrepresented. {{Set Table}}
