Part 2 of my new
The White Council set is dwarves! (For context, see the original post here:
http://lotrtcgwiki.com/forums/index.php/topic,11500.0.html) Dwarves in this set build primarily on two mechanics: a) using their high damage bonuses creatively for things other than just killing minions in skirmishes, and b) supporting hobbits in the fellowship. Please let me know what you think, what changes should be made, and what other new cards might support these one. Also, let me know which post-shadows culture you'd like to see next!
