So, against all odds, I tried to make some working std dwarves. The result... Well, tell me your opinion. I tried them, they are pretty much pwn/die. I either build up really fast, or drop like a stone by site 4-5 at the latest. But when I do manage to build up, not a lot of things can hurt me.

The shadow is pretty much copy/paste from another topic here, so I can't take any credit for that one. I just added 2 cards to get the number up.

From what I've seen of dwarves they tend to have more possessions than this.  I don't know your starting fellowsip but I'm guessing it's Dain and Gimli?  I would use Bearer of Grudges and Durin III in your starting fellowship.  Then I would pack some possessions into the slots Durin was taking up.  In order to prevent wounds on them though I would go for more mountain sites they would probably help keep you alive in those times when you would normally drop.

1x *Gimli, Feared Axeman (7R7) keeps 4x Mountain Homestead (11U12) & 3x Thorin's Harp (18C3) in the game. I have the  Mountain Homestead buff at all  times. The problem with fast death is not pulling either Durin, Mountain Homestead or Thorin's Harph on the first turn or two.
That is the save or die way of the deck. If I don't get the Mountain Homestead and Thorin's Harp out in time, the dwarfs are nothing (since the entire deck is based on it). Each dwarf get's his own bracers, axe and ring. Only other gear I could give them is armor, and I don't really have any use of  armors and helms.

I would not recommend pairing these two decks, as you need to cut out the Orkish Warg-master and replace him with Goblin Hordes.
