Here are the dwarves at their greatest standard glory! Nobody Tosses a Dwarf gets played LIKE CRAZY!!!!!! If you don’t get it your first turn, mulligan. You’ll probably get it soon in the game though.
Okay, so now you break the rule of 4. Not THE rule of 4, but the deckbuilding rule of four by including 11 copies of Nobody Tosses a Dwarf in your deck. LEGALLY! Okay, maybe not eleven per se, but with the Ring of Artifice and the Ring of Guile, you might as well (NOTE: Ring of Artifice DOES NOT directly pull Nobody Tosses of Dwarf, but instead pulls the Ring of Guile which pulls nobody tosses a Dwarf. You can also pull Subterranean Homestead if you deem appropriate). Basically, the rest is straightforward Hack ’n Slash Dwarves. Have fun! I have never yet died to anything except swarm and Ninja Gollum with (my expanded version of) this deck, as Gimli’s resistance skyrockets as well. Subterranean Homestead is yet another way to discard.
The with the other side, their fellowship has gotta be beat up or they start discarding cards from hand OR adding burdens. Either one helps, and when they run out of cards, they have to add burdens. Ring-bound hate with Orc Crusher corrupts fast or at least gets the stuff going. Mocking Goblin + 4x Orc Crusher in your hand = 5 burdens vs Ring Bound guys!!!!!
Swap sites out with Unforgiving depths and toss all your events and conditions around with Isengard Underling, Orkish Smith, and Goblin Hordes. Not to mention that your FP likes underground sites as well...and the muster can help cycle through your deck.
So, what does everyone think? I want to slim it down to a 40/40, or do you think that NP,NS will be able to handle the load?
BTW, During is strength 24 best case scenario. And damage + 5. So 1x Honed and Sauron’s owned! Not to mention an ill played Shelob gets owned twice and killed, no pumps involved. And the Balrog dies. That Witch-King also dies. And almost everything else is overwhelmed.
IF YOU RUN AGAINST ANY FORM OF THREE HUNTERS DECK IN YOUR AREA!
Gorbag, Filthy Rebel is a MUST for the deck.  |

What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about? 
As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

I would drop 2 copies of Orc Crusher and 1 copy each of Mocking Goblin, Morgul Tormentor, and Orc Tormentor, and replace them with 3 copies of Orc Miscreant and 2 copies of Vicious Warg.  The fellowship side looks great, though.  for a sweet deck!  |

I’m not going to add the Miscreant, because the deck relies on decking out more than anything, you should be able to run once that happens. (and it should happen early). The Warg I will add, however, and I’ll pull the cards suggested. I’ll try to slim down the FP side, maybe cut Honed?
EDIT: Pulled Ring of Artifice and 2x Ring of Fury. Ring of Guile is the primary card in the deck. |

ah thats what i was thinking, I read the decklist and i thought, no nobody tosses a dwarf OR dwarven axe, it is standard, but you can’t make an NPE deck without at least ONE of those. Then I read the strategy and got it. u r missing a ton of cards for your freeps in this list.
I count 35/41, BTW how r u planning to get 3 RoA? |

Spammers really are amazing creatures. You can learn all there is to know about their ways in a month. And yet, after a hundred years, they can still surprise you.  |

Consider adding Dwarven Warrior x4 (who you can immediately kill if you don’t want too many companions sitting around) and Thorin III, Stonehelm.

| Ooh, yeah, Dwarven Warrior and Thorin III, Stonehelm are excellent additions. I can’t believe I didn’t notice their absence! Dwarven Warrior is probably the third-best discarder, right behind Dwarven Axe and Thorin III. |
