Towers Block

When LotR TCG began, there was only one format: the cards that existed. With the release of The Two Towers, Decipher split the game into three formats:

• Fellowship Block, allowing cards from Fellowship of the Ring, Mines of Moria, and Realms of the Elf-lords
• Towers Block, originally only allowing cards from The Two Towers with Battle of Helm's Deep and Ents of Fangorn added as they were released
• Open, allowing cards from all sets (but only using Towers Block sites)

While not as popular as Fellowship Block or Movie Block, Towers Block and Towers Standard are still very mainstream formats with solid community support. Similar to the way Fellowship Block players tend to view the changes of Towers, Towers enthusiasts tend to view King Block as a much more substantial departure from the game's beginnings than had come before. However, they view Fellowship block as too confined or predictable with half as many cards in the pool and far fewer than half as many cards worth playing. Decklists for Towers Block can be found at this subforum of the Last Homely House.
