Since the question keeps arising, I thought it would be best to repost the closest official word on this format from Decipher. Taken from LOTRO: Movie Block
Movie Block format uses cards from sets 1-10 (all of the 'movie' blocks plus Reflections) and a King-block legal. You may not include cards from the Standard Exclusion List prior to the release of Shadows (you can use the Deck Validation option in your Deck Builder for a list of these cards). I'm not sure about the odd first sentence... maybe it was supposed to be "a King-block legal site path?" Playing with King sites is the standard: when each new block came out prior to Shadows (Towers/King), the old sites (Fellowship, for example) were no longer used. The Deck Validator gives the following X-list: 0P2 Bill the Pony0P5 Horn of Boromir1R40 Elrond, Lord of Rivendell1R45 Galadriel, Lady of Light1R80 Ottar, Man of Laketown1U108 No Stranger to the Shadows1R139 Savagery to Match Their Numbers1R195 Relics of Moria1U234 Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Guldur1C248 Forces of Mordor1R313 Sting2R32 Flaming Brand3R38 Aragorn, Heir to the White City3R42 Horn of Boromir3R67 The Palantir of Orthanc3R68 Saruman, Keeper of Isengard3U106 Bill the Pony3C108 Frying Pan7U49 Steadfast Champion7C96 Gondorian Captain8C1 Aggression10U2 Memories of Darkness10C91 Mordor FiendEDIT: Also attached is a pertinent CRD from back in the day - September 2004. It contains the same X-list. |

Great! But wait a minute Galadriel, LR isn´t x-ed???  Decipher have really go nutz... I think we can agree that she is totally overpower at movie block (maybe she still a option in RoTK block). Anyway maybe that´s why my main shadow deck runs southrons  |

btw, x means not allowed at all doesn't it? Because I thought some of these cards were r-listed, allowed once, like forces of morder, no stranger to the shadows, Savagery to Match Their Numbers..... |

See the attached CRD -- essentially Movie Block mirrors Standard Format from before Shadows. |

A couple of questions about what is "movie block" legal: 1. Are 0P56-60 legal? They came out after the release of Mount Doom but before the World Championship that year( i think)...were they eligible for Deciphercon 2004? I don't remember any Anarion decks back then and they also have resistance instead of signets. 2. Also, when was Agression banned? I remember that the Origins PSE that year was dominated and won by a dwarf deck and that was in july. The CRD that is posted is from early September, after the championship. I know that it was elves, not dwarves that dominated worlds that year, only a month after origins.....i'm guessing it was in the intermediate, but i didnt think it was x-listed before the end of "movie block" Anyways, I'm new to the board but was a big player in the first half of this decade until the release of shadows and the subsequent rotation. I still play with a group of about 6 of my cousins every couple of months at family gatherings and we play "movie block". I have a dwarves deck that runs four agressions and i didn't realize it was banned until. Great card, but with the rule of four in place, i don't think it's broken. Or even half as powerful as Lady Reedemed. I realize that my questions are somewhat irrelevant about the order of things that happened five years ago, but my friends told me i could keep the agressions if i coud prove to them they weren't banned before the world championship but only after, during the break before Shadows. |

I'm pretty sure no non-ringbearer character with resistance instead of signet should be legal for movie block; but I thought radagast's staff was legal. I guess if Ghan-Buri-Ghan isn't legal, then radagast's staff isn't as well. Am I right? |

Movie block was created from Reflections drafts, so you gotta think its legal!
