Pretty simple strategies on both parts. I'm not sure on the ring, but I haven't played enough to see if its right yet. Suggestions?

for your 1st standard deck it look's fine. :)
add 1 bound to its fate (you have to play 4 in such a deck!) and 1 throne of the dark lord.
i'd cut 1 relentless warg and 1 orc miscreant.
other suggestions are goblin hordes for the underling, 1-2 blood runs chill and stewards tomb. moreover you should think about a card drawing engine e.g. npns cuz 35/35 isn't that small.

I find that there is plenty of condition hate in Standard, so I would suggest playing Gimli FA, which does essentially mean you can not start Durin, which could be a problem. You have plenty dwarves though and with some cycling of our friend Gloin, you should be ok. Just my 2 cents, better to have some strong dwarves due to conditions, than crappy ones because of Buckland Homestead.......over and over.

I would add forced march to the shadow, it's kind of a must have for every [Orc] deck but in this case you can force your opponent to move after they've discarded all their events.
