Discarding Mountain Dwarves with discarding underground  lurkers
--- end description ---
Now before you stare at the contradiction, let me post the deck.
Sites-
 - Abandoned Mine Shaft
- The Bridge of Khazad-Dum
- Breeding Pit of Isengard
 - Cavern Entrance
 - Chamber of Mazarbul
- West Gate of Moria
- Barazinbar
 - Moria Guardroom
- Starkhorn
Free Peoples- (40 cards)
Gimli, Bearer of Grudges
The One Ring, The Ring of Rings
Starting Fellowship-
Thorin III, Stonehelm
Durin III, Dwarven Lord
Deck-
Dwarven Warrior x 4
Axe of Khazad-Dum x 3
Dwarven Bracers
Belt of Erebor x 3
Ring of Guile x 4
Ring of Artifice x 2
Ring of Fury x 2
Thorin’s Harp x 4
Mountain Homestead x 4
Subterranean Homestead x 2
No Pauses, No Spills x 4
Nobody Tosses a Dwarf x 4
Blood Runs Chill x 2
Shadow- (41 cards)
Cave Troll of Moria, Savage Menace x 4
Emboldened Orc x 4
Orc Strategist x 4
Orkish Smith x 4
Rallying Orc x 2
Porter Troll
Horror of Harad x 2
Goblin Hordes x 4
Unforgiving Depths x 3
Retribution x 3
The Beckoning Shadow x 2
Enemy upon Enemy
Orc Spear x 3
Mordor Scimitar x 2
Dread and Despair x 2
Okay, here’s how it works. Your underground Orcs rule the site-path overrunning it with undergrounds, via Orkish Smith and Unforgiving Depths.
Then, you play tons of Lurkers and a Cave Troll of Moria. All bearing possessions. Retribution adds burdens, and plays possessions from your discard pile, easily fetched back with Orkish Smith. As you win skirmishes, the Cave Troll forces your opponent to discard cards from their deck, and Retribution adds burdens galore. And if they have conditions, they don’t. Unless you want to lose 6 cards off the top of your deck.
Then with your Dwarves, Thorin’s Harp makes sure that all your sites become easy mountains. Mountain Homestead make all your Dwarves huge, and Ring of Artifice helps. And who doesn’t like a strength 29 Durin? With strength 16 Dwarven Warriors. Not to mention that the Ring of Guile grabs Nobody Tosses a Dwarf for more discarding fun, not to mention Subterranean Homestead. If it all comes down to nothing, at least there’s a strength 16 Thorin III that makes you burn cards from the top of your deck.
Any shadow cards that make it through the discarding get Blood Runs Chill. Spotting an easy damage +4 dwarf with the Ring of Fury at a mountain with an Axe of Khazad-Dum, that’s 4 conditions gone. You can always grab it back with a Ring of Guile if you need to.
That’s it! Happy discarding! |

 Add the popcorn smiley to your sig, help it achieve world domination.
What if the hokey pokey really IS what its all about? 
As I lay in bed staring at the stars last night, I thought to myself, "where the heck is the ceiling?"

With porter troll and Mordor Scimitar you need much twilight.
I’d changed the troll with rallying orc and the scimitars with two Orc Spear and one Cave Troll’s Hammer, Unwieldy Cudgel.
Like this you will get much more exerts and in better prices  |
