Seems costed a little too low, especially since it’s non-unique. Maybe ? Or add some other cost to play, like removing a burden or threat. Ooo, or spotting a Dwarf or two. That would be good since it has that twilight cost reduction...which Dwarves do you play before and which ones do you wait to play after?

Balrog signet? Cool.

I think Open Fields will have an exertion cost instead of raising to ...



I think I’ll have its twilight cost and spot a Dwarf to play it. That way, it’s fairly easy to play all 4 if you have them in hand (of course, keeping them in play...)

And yes, although the Balrog signet will be almost exclusively ...


Today’s cards feature the Dwarven fighting skill, starting with their choice of terrain:

Under-deep Mines
Event • Assignment
If the fellowship is at an underground site, assign a Dwarf to skirmish a companion (except the Ring-bearer) or, if the fellowship is at a mountain site, spot a Dwarf to prevent that Dwarf from being assigned to a skirmish until the regroup phase.
DR50

This is the dwarves using the mines to travel. If the fellowship is in them, the Dwarves are more used to the terrain. If they’re above them, they don’t get noticed. Then that Dwarf is able to be more fully used for mining in the regroup phase (or whatever else). Of course, they do get more standard bonuses...

Intresting...

Large Halls
Event • Skirmish
Make a Dwarf strength +2 (or +4 if underground).
DC42

Basically just a simple strength pump. Things get more interesting when a Dwarf is fighting itself.

Nice little card, reminds me of Their Halls of Stone

Dwarven Technique
Event • Skirmish
Make a Dwarf strength +3 and damage -1.
DU34

The Dwarf works more on hitting than cleaving deeply. Slightly off for the Dwarves, but they’re smart enough to know which is needed. Not that they need to sacrifice their damage for skill, but they can fight extremely well together...

Damage -1 ?????

Dwarves Are Upon You!
Event • Skirmish
Make a Dwarf strength +1 for each other Dwarf assigned to a skirmish.
DU34
if this was real, i would do a Dwarven Lurker Deck

Another card that helps Dwarven swarm, this can make even a generic miner into a dangerous killing machine (and a dangerous killing machine into... um...). While they know how to fight, they are much better when fighting with other Dwarves.
