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  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.  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.

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. <Typo fixed so it'd link to the card.> ~ FM

Also if ur worried about swarm maybe some Hobbit Stealth instead of PATHS |

If you are worried about the Balrog, throw in a few copies of Hobbit Stealth and let Frodo take care of the Balrog. |

Actually, you can in Fellowship block. See O Elbereth Gilthoniel. The rule was made with tower block, so FotR block, a lot of people play that you can. |

Actually, that rule was made after Reflections because of ARB's. In regards to Towers Block, see Frodo's Cloak.  |

I would suggest starting the party field and add a bilbo, well-spoken Gentlehobbit or 2 to take acre of some conditions... you play plenty of tales, can always sac one or two. CAuse I played against dwarves with my meatgrinder ( UTWE, ORc Bowmen, Hate) and its an autoloss for dwarves.... even with him having Greatest Kingdom turn 1. |

You're kidding? Dwarves/Moria cycles like crazy, I have a deck even bigger than this one and usually only have 10-12 card in deck by site 9. And delving is critical if you don't get the Book of Mazarbul too early. |

Add another They Are Coming and Goblin Swarms. Remove the 3 copies of Ulaire Nertea, Messenger of Dol Guldur and replace with two copies of Ulaire Enquea. I would dump the two Goblin Flankers and four Moria Scouts and replace with four Goblin Sneaks. These guys are great for getting that perfect site eight/site nine swarm with such a small draw deck. Personally, I would remove the four Goblin Backstabbers and the four Goblin Scrabblers. Then add three Guard Commanders. Now you are down to 34 cards with a guaranteed kick-#$&*@! last Shadow phase. As for the good guys, you have to use Gimli, Dwarf of Erebor with this deck. If you have that Cave Troll a little early, why not put him beneath your draw deck? Coupled with Goblin Sneak, this guy will run the train. I have always found dwarves to be about endurance until card stacking came about, so: Drop one Gimli's HelmDrop one Dwarf GuardDrop three Dwarven Armors Drop three Hand Axes Drop four Flurry of BlowsDrop one Till Durin Wakes AgainDrop two Power According to His StatureAdd one Greatest Kingdom of My People or Bilbo, Well Spoken Gentle-Hobbit Add two Gimli's Battle AxeAdd one Dwarven AxeAdd one Grimir, Dwarven Elder Add two Dwarven Hearts Add two Bounders Add one There and Back AgainUse Frodo, Old Bilbo's Heir. Listen, when it comes to swarm, you have two copies of Sting and so you'll do alright there. Your real concern should be Direct Wounding. Hate destroys this deck. But good luck! -wtk |

To fend of Balrog's(with my Hobbit deckthat still needs some work) I use, granted you have them inyour hand, but I use Hobbit stealth. |
