3 Mumak
2 Quelled
2 New Strength Came Now
1 Red Wrath
1 Field Of The Fallen
2 Rallying call
3 Seasoned Leader
1 Howdah
1 Arrows from the South

Free peoples strategy: Make Durin huge!
I if know I am not playing a man deck (lying counsel) or a deck that packs Grima, Wormtongue
I make Durin huge at will. If I am, I wait until I get preparations or slaked thirst then I let loose on the possession throttle. I can always play them on Gimli until I have my Grima protection.
Brand gives more strength as well as helping out against swarms, and Radagast can help for that 6-9 move if your opponent is on site 8 (or 7).

For the Minion side: Exhaust companions and then with archery and high strength minions kill them. The threats from rallying call kill even more. The seasoned leaderx3 plus arrows of the south is killer on desert lord.

Advice would be appreciated for either side

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. Razz

hmmmm........first, you need more copies of the following cards: 2 more endurance of dwarves, 2 No Pauses, No spills, one more dwarven bracers and dwarven armor, add 2 ring of fury for healing and gimli’s resistance. And you DEFINITELY need another copy of Blood Runs Chill in there.

What to get rid of: Aggresions is X’ed so take that out, get rid of radagast, his ability is nice, but he isn’t worth the twilight he gives. remove calculated risk, its not half as good as no pauses no spills. Get rid of awkward moment, its not good unless your using dwarven tokens.

Durin is a beast, but he cant win games with just gimli and linnar at his side.
I recommend considering the following dwarves for your deck: Uri (good soaker of archery and can be a powerhouse with 4x lord of moria), Grimir (helps prevent your wounds), Dain Ironfoot

BRC is the key to winning with a Dwarf deck like this. A 2nd copy will clear the table again, and it shouldn’t be that hard to find the vitality to use it.

On a side note, I think you should drop Brand. He’s not going to help much.

i think what you put in the deck really depends on what you are playing with. since sop is playing against uruk swarm, he should have brand, in my case, however, my dwarf deck goes up against corsair beatdown most of the time,so i use grimbeorn instead. it all depends on the meta.

(and against uruks, you probably only need i BRC, they dont have the crazy conditions like corsairs)

I would use The Ring of Rings, instead of SaWtC. With so few companions, Gimli will be seeing some action, and since you can’t add a lot of threats, the burdens will pile on quickly. With Gimli as your Ring-bearer, strength should never be a problem.

A few more companions would be nice as well. Ditch Brand, and start Dain Ironfoot, King Under the Mountain instead of Linnar. With Preparations, Sindri, Dwarven Lord is a safe bet also.

You should also try to focus your deck a bit more. The way you are packing a LOT opf singles, each game will probably be quite different from the last one, and you can’t expect to master your deck, when you have no idea of how to play it.

As a side note, I can’t even begin to understand why so many here on CC seems to play open format! There’s a reason why some cards should remain x- or r-listed! But, that’s not my concern, so you should definately pack 4 Aggression in there. Don’t underestimate the HUGE advantage card advantage and cycling gives you.

I'm not stupid. I'm just unlucky when I'm thinking.
