With your tales, I'd strongly recommend Mines of Khazad-Dum.

If this is sheer beatdown, why no Lord of Moria?

And also why no Gimli's Battle Axe?

I also don't understand the FOUR copies of Delving. It's a nice card and all, but Book of Mazarbul should do much more for you...and you've got only a 40-card Moria paired with it, so it's not like you need all that Delving anyway.

One more thought: Storm of Argument. Could be an awesome way to get Flurry of Blows back. Thumbs Up

EDIT: One other thought: I see very little Balrog protection. I know your Site 7 discards allies, but it couldn't hurt to toss in Dwarven Smith as a sacrificial lamb. Heck, I'd rather have him than the movement penalty (and fellowship size) increasing Dwarf Guard, though the Guard makes an okay speed bump as well, I guess.

They certainly didn't seem like a really viable culture until Reflections, but then again, in a great twist of irony, I haven't used Dwarves all that much.

Ah, OK. Forgive my ignorance... I had always thought them as quite viable.

Ach. Well...I'd never made 'em work. The Balrog usually managed to knock some dudes off.

Still it is not the best option in Fellowship. They are generaly not very strong and options are limited when it comes to the dwarves. Also no condition discard will hurt with so many vital conditions running around in Fellowship block. Under the Watching Eye, Orc Bowmen, Goblin Swarms, Goblin Armory, Black Breath, Blade Tip......

Make Light of Burdens takes care of Black Breath and Blade Tip, at least. The rest, not so much.

I think the afore mentioned suggestions have too few copies of companions.
