Title: My massive dwarf deck
Post by: Not a Zombie on April 09, 2015, 04:34:24 PM
Let me start by saying, I've never before had a deck larger than 35/35, so this 70/70 monstrosity feels wrong to me on so many levels. I would explain the strategy, but I hope it explains itself pretty well. Enjoy the replays. So far it is 7 for 7, with 6 of those being shadow kills. I'm thinking this fellowship could go great with dmaz's gollum pokemon trainer shadow, after including a bunch more cards.

Ignore the glaring mistakes in the shadow, I wanted to see how the fellowship fared.

I love Realm of Dwarrodelf. Its one of my favorite card. Why do you use Toss Me? Why no Blood Runs Chill? Aren't you allowed to use one Relic of Moria in movie block?

I ended up dropping Toss Me for BRC. I don't know about relics, I'll be checking that :)

It's expanded that Relics is R-listed...it's X-listed in Movie for some reason. You could propose any number of cards in Movie block that see too powerful to be allowed, much more so than Relics, but I guess they had their reasons....

It was X-listed around the time RotK came out as a counter-balance to the X-listing of Frying Pan. That it remained on the X-list through Reflections and Mount Doom was probably more an oversight than anything else. I think nearly everyone would agree that, even with Relics, Moria is a second tier Shadow (at best) in Movie.
